My beef is that something about taking my Samsung Bluetooth earphones out of my ears launches Apple's Music/iTunes app, and only that, and after a cursory search, this apparently can't be turned off. Aside from the annoyance itself, pushing a particular app/service is also not what I want an OS to do.
- rscrawfo 4y agoThis drives me crazy ever single day.
- BrotherBisquick 4y agoTaking them out does that? That makes no sense. That sounds more like a bug or oversight than a dark pattern.
- sho_hn 4y agoIt's a bit of both. The intention is probably to start the app when you "plug in" earphones. But something about putting the Galaxy Buds back into their charging case, or sometimes just taking them out, causes a state change (reconnect?) that triggers it. The dark pattern is to start the Music app.

- solarkraft 4y agoThis hasn't happened to me a few iOS versions ago with the Buds Plus.
- sho_hn 4y agoSorry, I realize I didn't make it clear, but I meant Mac OS (on a MBP).
