> Want to get data from inside a device onto your computer? Nope, it’s not a mass storage device. You need to install another app, that will be used just for this one device, to sync things. The app inconspicuously asks for location access while at it, and eats 85% of your CPU at all times, even when idle.
This one has to be an iPhone and iTunes. Absolutely nonsensical levels of obfuscation to getting data on and off. iPhones can't connect to network disks on the local network, they don't appear as mass storage devices if connected via USB, and the software they require--iTunes--is an absolute cluster. If only Android weren't its own complete disaster for different reasons.
