"It just works" - Apple Marketing

I remember when I believed it. Then I actually got an iPhone and it killed that idea.

Cool box and fun signup, but it never felt quite intuitive.

"It just works" is absolutely still a thing; it's just that not everything "just works". And with Feedback Assistant being as bad as it is, shouting on Hacker News is the best I can do to get things fixed :(

> "It just works" is absolutely still a thing; it's just that not everything "just works".

What could that possibly mean?

“Most things just work” or alternatively “it just works (the way most users want it to work)”

There is not and can never be “it just works for everyone and every use case with no configuration”.

Yup.

But that's true for everything, not just iphone. So "just works" loses it's meaning.

Have you ever used an Oracle product?
