90% of the features on my iPhone are not interesting to me. Worse yet, everytime Apple pushes a new feature they enable it by default on the next upgrade.
Here's a radical thought. "Every feature in a piece of software that I don't want or use is a bug." This is radical user centric design. It's also completely unworkable.
Why can't I buy a phone that better matches my feature needs? One might expect capitalism and competition to produce many different implementations of different products catered to individual users' needs. Instead we have monopolistic monocultures and feature bloat. Apple is driven to constantly add new features to capture new customers and respond to new features from its few competitors. Rarely does any of this movement serve me as a customer.
I, like the vast majority of iPhone users, rarely see value in new feature. Sometimes I do. But it's probably 5% or less of new features are things I actually want. I don't need any of them. I'm feature content and everything new is just a bug.
