Or, maybe, a lesson technologists should internalize when we advocate technical solutions to real world problems. Apple moved a reply button on the iPhone email app -- and I know someone that for weeks just thought it was broken and would text responses to emails entirely out of context. This person had a Ph.D.

For each problem a technical solution solves, 2 harder to solve problems are created.

It was apparently a common confusion. https://daringfireball.net/2019/10/mails_message_action_toolbar_in_ios_13 https://daringfireball.net/2019/10/mails_message_action_tool...

  To be fair, the button was still there and still had the same icon. It's bad design for other reasons, but I'm not sure how you could think it was completely broken just because it moved a couple dozen pixels to the right.
