1+ hour, 5+ min ago (191+ words) Now I am the same as anyone reading this. My phone is my toy and my toil, the first object I touch upon waking, the spackle to my spare minutes, the inanimate partner in our shared lie, which is that it works for me and not the other way around. Mostly, I accept this. But with the latest iOS, released last week, revolt is in the air. I came home late from a holiday party, agreed to the latest iOS almost by accident, and woke up to a new world. Given my history, I tend to assume most technological snafus are my doing. I've tried to wind back what aspects of this iOS I can, assuming the veil of frustration will lift eventually. Ideally, I will not have to mentally downgrade this pricy device to a flip-phone. But in the…...
