It’s pretty admirable how apple has year after year taken steps to actually reduce device usage*
I really like the “focus” features as this year’s example or this.
*I think they’re trying to increase meaningful device usage, so maybe I’m splitting hairs here, but it feels like overall the result is I use my device less and less while still doing more.
- alonmower 5y agoThere are aligned incentives here, something a company that focuses on selling devices can do vs the companies that sell your attention

If your device annoys the daylights out of you, you certainly won't love it. This is doubly true when you think that there is an entire ecosystem here to think about. You can get messages on your computer, ipad, iPhone and Watch. If you want to focus and can't because it takes several minutes to find and mute notifications on every device... that's very frustrating. Oh and then you might not remember to turn them back on and miss something important later. More frustration.
