its insanely dumb to not be able to copy text chunks, or to not be able to export pdfs to other apps from iBooks

its not very well integrated, basically

there's a secret way to export PDFs from ibooks, you gotta hit the share button, then print, then on the print preview you use a pinch zoom in gesture on the preview page, then hit the share button that appears at the top of the page. this process also shows off two different share buttons present in iOS11

Rehabilitated?


That's just a bullshit word.
the sharrow is really stupid and is a constant source of user friction, I mean it's there so the OS can control app-to-app and app-to-system interactions because you don't want to trust developers with that poo poo, but the workflows it creates are just sooo bad

the fact that iBooks sharrow makes you go to quicklook before you can export seems like a bug though and it can prob be fixed

jony was burned when he made the iPod Shuffle smooth edition with no buttons. customers were not happy with it and they went back to a button design pretty rapidly.

i was on the train watching a video with my X and AirPods and a guy behind me taps my shoulder.

him: do you like it? was it worth it?

me: i'm liking it.

he gives me a smirk and pulls out a space grey iPhone X box from a white apple bag. looks like he had come back from buying one. i give him a nod and a thumbs up while mouthing "nice" and went back to my movie.
