This is fucking horrible. Worth an episode in Silicon Valley horrible. What I hate most about the new Apple devices is that I always do something that produces a gesture or a hidden function. Grab iPhone quickly by the sides - get a screenshot. Swipe with four fingers looking North shaking - get something else. Who the hell needs all this crap?

That’s not a gesture, that’s you pressing the side buttons.

I could make a similar comment about how keyboard shortcuts are "fucking horrible".

Or just use the long-press menu like you have been for ten years? Nothing changed.
