iPhone Intuitive Settings Joke

@nano This is like when people say iPhone is intuitive even though everything is hidden behind an obscure gesture, the control buttons are in a different place in each app, and many of the settings are buried beneath multiple layers. It's intuitive because you are emotionally attached to learning it. @submit @nano when you buy a phone for a lot of money, you just gaslight yourself into it being easy, because otherwise you'd have to admit that you wasted a lot of money on causing you pain.

A dark-mode social media screenshot shows two users joking about iPhone usability. The first post sarcastically calls the interface intuitive despite hidden gestures, inconsistent controls, and buried settings; the reply says expensive-phone owners convince themselves it is easy to avoid admitting they wasted money on something frustrating. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to tech elitism, buyer’s remorse, or frustrating user interfaces.
