Daniel and Manton talk about Daniel’s decision to buy an iPhone 7 after all, critique Apple’s decision to ship Jet Black phones in spite of their proneness to scratching, and question whether it’s worth shipping a product whose defects will garner ridicule. They talk about the new Messages features in iOS 10 and how well or poorly those features downgrade on other platforms. Finally, they talk about the presence of features (such as drawers in OS X) that stick around even though “everybody” knows not to use them.
