And yet, if I had first examined the article correctly, it would make
Apple showing *progress*, which is kind of funny since your defense is
that *I* was wrong, just some guy online who can wrap my mind around
why Apple does it the way it does.  I mean, not in the sense of
agreement, but in the sense of seeing that they are OK with being
weird.

Literally, all there is in the article is a rumour that Apple will be
changing the NAME they use for a product.

  I meant that if I had correctly read the article, the first time, I
thought that this phone was going to add buttons to the UI, like
Samsung has - how I came to that conclusion is a mystery, but I was
high on drugs.  However, as I suggested, if that were somehow true it
would mean Apple had come around, and admitted their design sucks
balls.

1. No, that is NOT what you said at any time. Let me elucidate (and I'll wait a few minutes while you look that up):
You're now claiming that when you wrote, "And yet, if I had first examined the article correctly, it would mean that Apple was showing progress".
What you (apparently) meant to have said was:
"And yet, if the article had said what I thought it did, it would mean that Apple was showing progress".
So...
2. If changing the UI is proof that the previous UI "sucks balls", then you should examine the fact that Android has switched its default UI for app switching to APPLE's UI for doing so: with gestures.

 

I'm not going to bother with the rest of your gibberish.

Oh gibberish, huh, unlike Apple's UI, heh.  That's a great descriptor
for it, malformed functions, inferior, and yet the Apple name sells
these devices.

What function(s) in Apple's is/(are) "malformed"?

  The lack of buttons.

Are you still high?
Because words have MEANINGS, and "malformed" doesn't match that.
