Is there no solution to this pain that is actually suggested (designed) by Apple? I would expect there is /something/ that they can do for you for a small, recurring fee.
Apple are the worst UI company in the world bar none.
Sum up the total amount of utterly needless pain and wanton destruction of the time of their customers and nothing comes close in the wide field of "computing". Yet they have the "Good ui" reputation, which is insane.
When people got shocked by this 15 years ago I used to ask them: "Do you know /anyone/ who owns an iPod? Think of them, three names. Now of those three do you know anyone who has not had their music collection deleted by apple software against their wishes? Among those three? No? Anyone at all?"
Nowadays there isn't one example that sabotaged literally every user, instead there a many and it has become which subset of the Apple customer smashes got you? Ask your friends. Note the solution to pay apple more.
Apple are the shiny, vicious trap. Google are less shiny so it is impossible to sustain the illusion that they do "good ui." Microsoft haha. And from there Apple have consistently led the way in the race to the bottom of customer abuse - you've got nowhere else to go! You can't survive the modern world without this stuff! But sure, Facebook, Microsoft, Google are really quick to match and desperate to find niches in which they can lead and Apple copy.
Yeah, should have used, um, who?
