I find iOS and the iPhone/iPad/iTunes interaction particularly frustrating - a case where it really should just work.
Some of my issues:
- Restoring from a backup does not, for some reason, does not consistently restore the folder structure - thus I spend an hour or two recreating the structure. Waste of time.
- iCloud syncs a lot of things - but for some reason does not allow me to sync apps. There should be an easy way to do this such that if I buy an app on my iPhone (and it is compatible with my iPad) it should be synced.
- Moving purchased music from one phone to another. Maybe somebody can enlighten me, but moving my iTunes purchased music from one device to another, as far as can tell, is still a stupid, manual process.
- In general, iTunes should be in the cloud - when I buy a new device, I should be able to enter my account information and then have it automatically pull down all my stuff - and offer me choices for what I want to pull. To me this seems so basic.
This is stuff that is all generated by the way my wife interacts with these technologies - and she gets very frustrated by the hoops that have to be jumped through to make it all work.
Next week, I'm likely buying my wife an iPhone 4S (AT&T or Verizon - suggestions from anyone in the Boston area?) I'm not looking forward to getting her setup - I anticipate pain.
