Why on earth would it show me this in Music then proceed to open in the browser, ask me to sign in and then only allow you to add them to library one at a time.

For a company that normally nails UI/UX this is ridiculous. Like this would be great in the actual music app as we could read the accompanying text about the albums whilst listening to them, alas this is so bad that I’ll just not even bother.

Edit: I did manage to find the section where you can add the albums to your library, one… at… a… time…

      Is that true or is that the tech peaked at that point anyway?

      Like people main whenever a new phone comes out and it’s barely changed, but what they want from a phone these days they are peak right now.

      People will moan like they gotta get a new one every year when really I’m changing every 4-5 years.

                Allowing installation of any apps, not limiting certain apps while others aren’t. Etc.

                  Sideloading?

                  That is coming, you just have to wait for someone to make a third party store. Personally I am not interested in that. If I was I would use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, but I just want my phone to be something I don’t have to think about or do any research on whether something is safe to install.

                  I’m a software developer so far from dumb when it comes to tech, but there comes a point in life where you just want the easy route. I’ll geek out with my PC or my 3D printer or whatever else, but my phone is required to be easy to use and require zero thought on my part.

                    Its beyond sideloading. Certain first party apps have abilities third party ones cannot due to the restrictive API.

      Literally every feature I like from Apple devices except for widgets and the ability to remove an app from the home screen was added while Jobs was CEO.
