I like iOS apps that aren't full of tracking nonsense (and the nutrition labels might help.)

But dark patterns abound, and mobile gaming is largely a hell of monetization and slot-machine mechanics.

It’s so frustrating that my iPhone 12 Pro Max could be a perfect platform for playing serious games, but instead I have to haul around a Nintendo Switch.

I know my iPhone can render excellent graphics, I played to level 60 on Diablo Immortal then got out before they could extract more than $10 from me!
