People are annoyed at apple’s recent lack of polish in software, but the increasing monetization and push into services are a bigger issue imo. You pay the apple premium for hardware and the hardware is indeed great, but you’re increasingly treated like a piggy bank. Line must go up.
In regard to Maps: if all you want is a gps, there’s many apps that use OpenStreetMap data. I use CoMaps myself. You download the map(s) you want and it just works, no forced updates or ads or anything in the way of upselling.
