Article argues that Apple UX no longer have affordances and discoverability as it used. I am not sure if I completely agree with this. Even kindergartners very quickly learn and use iOS and for most part Apple's UX primitives are well thought out. I'm more concerned about bad or no design decisions that are accumulating over time such as,
* Power and volume buttons on exactly opposite side means you often press one when you meant another when held in one hand.
* Extremely slippery surfaces means the devices slips away and fall down all the time.
* No easy way to organize app icons. Over time you accumulate 100s of apps and its lot of pain to organize and discover apps.
* Cannot disable click sound when taking photos easily.
* Cannot search and organize photos easily.
* Anything related to iCloud is either mess or dysfunctional.
... and so on.
