The comment about macOS’s Mail.app struck a chord with me. My upgrade to iOS 13 has changed the mail app on my phone to sporadically open old inbox threads. It happens something like 1 in every N times I launch the app. It’s seemingly done at random and is the strangest thing about this upgrade by far.
It’s like Apple are trying to nudge me into being better at responding to emails. Is there a PM at Apple watching an engagement metric increase? With my personal email?!
- lostgame 7y agoMy God, me, too! I swear to God, I thought I was just confused or something, 'when did I open this?' - and it had only seemed to happen past the upgrade - this is certainly bizarre, if not just a strange coincidence.
- gorgoiler 7y agoThis also raises the question: not only is it suspected that an email application is being monitored for engagement metrics, but is it also the case that growth-enhancing UI features are being a/b tested on us as well? Well that is of course all silly conjecture and I doubt its anything more than a bug, but if it were true then that’s some real Silicon Valley stuff right there. Maybe Apple own stock in whichever paper manufacturer is post commonly used for printing emails from meemaw. More emails really pushes the needle on those paper sales! Q4 performance summary cycle bonuses all round!
