"on maybe the most popular mobile OS on earth"
You can't be the most popular if your competitor's market share is ~85%.

You can if you mean "most popular" in terms of customer satisfaction - http://www.theacsi.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=art...

In the USA, which is a pretty small part of the Earth, and where iOS has 45% of the market, compared to 15% worldwide.

Sure, it was just an example of how "most popular" might have nothing to do with market share at all.
On iOS 10, I noticed, if I swipe the lock screen left and right really fast where it brings in the camera, it eventually gets stuck. Like half the screen is now black and nothing happens until I hit the reset button. This is reproducible. It seemed to me like a really weird little bug to have on maybe the most popular mobile OS on earth but brushed it off as me being anal about something not even Apple considers a problem. This calculator story is a bit of a waking call that Apple UX quality genuinely did get worse in recent years. It's little things that add up. It's the little annoyances with Android that keep me coming back to iOS but now it seems like they're introducing all kinds of new issues with iOS. Ugly.
