What happens when you receive 100+ new email notifications on iOS? I ended up ignoring all of them, missing out on important notifications.

Notification aggregation and priority is table stakes for serious office work.

If you’re regularly getting 100+ notifications you need to setup filters, change your notification settings, or find a new job.

Or you know, just use an Android phone.

Apple zealots are the fucking worst. Your phone makers are too incompetent to implement notifications properly, so your solution is to find a new job.

Being a former android user, I see no fundamental difference in how notification are implemented for email between the two platforms.

Have you used recent versions of Android with priority and aggregation? I've found that iOS users have no idea how good notifications are on Android.

Just curious, why are you getting 100+ emails at once that you can't filter into a low priority/no notification inbox?

The most common case is overnight with a geographically distributed team.

How does that many notifications help? Isn’t it enough to see a ton of email and open an email client which does all of that aggregation for you?
Re:iPhone X Teardown by damnyou on Saturday November 04, 2017 @02:02PM (#15626147)
Of course it doesn't, but Android already does the aggregation for me so that I don't miss important notifications from other apps. It's just a better way of working.

Again, it’s a question of degrees: you’re talking like this is a dealbreaker but it seems like more of an edge case.

I do think it, along with all the other ways iOS is deficient, is a deal breaker. I finally switched to Android after years on iPhone and I can't believe how much of an idiot I was for not switching earlier.

At least I wasn't enough of an idiot to use iMessage and get locked into the Apple ecosystem.

This runs contrary to Apple's philosophy. The user should not have to do anything.

Phone makers or phone maker?
