For me, it's about evidence and accountability.

This so much. Text/email/slack leaves a permanent, searchable record. Synchronous communication is complete garbage and there are very few scenarios where it should be tolerated, much less encouraged.

Honestly, I'm at the point where if someone insists on calling, I assume they are up to something and are intentionally trying to not go "on the record"

Iphones are not:

  1. General-purpose comuters
  2. Phone
  3. Device owned by you instead of corporation
  4. Well-designed

An iPhone is not a phone and not well designed? Apple put the most thought into every detail and generally works generally well. It's very much well designed because it does exactly what the designers want it to do. Yes it doesn't mean it's an ethical device or tinker- or repair-friendly. But "not well designed" just doesn't float.

You got me. You are entirely correct. They design well exactly because they wanted to design easily breakable(1m of free fall on carpet can break it) and unmaintainable phone.

Sometimes you don't want that :)
