It’s funny, but I’ve been feeling a tiny sense of dread in more of my interactions with my iPhone lately. Upon reflecting on it it boils down to this: every little interaction now has more weight on it.

The best example is contextual menus - evoked with a long press or a press and hold, taking the place of the old 3D touch. The long and short of it is that Apple has driven to consistency with a similar “share sheet” across the OS… but each share sheet takes up more than the height of the screen, is fully customizable, and has a lot of options that make zero sense in context. Like: would I ever want to add a song from Apple Music to Deliveries, the app that tracks UPS/FedEx deliveries for me? Of course not. But I can, because that option is available system-wide.

This makes every interaction I have with Apple Music now carry extra weight. I need to actively search for what’s relevant, and I’m presented with a list of options that simply don’t apply. It’s, in a word, crummy.
