Apple is still one of the best, but it is not immune to this (others are worse). Just tonight my phone updated, and the time now looks completely different.

Small rant ahead.

In the last updates they changed how alarms are set (rotatory dial to enter the numbers one by one and back to rotatory dial next update). Why did they change that? I believe just for change sake. Also I could see if I had an alarm set at a quick glance (next to wifi indicator top right); now it only shows on the lock screen. I wish they would let it be or hid it under a configuration option, but that goes against Apple minimalism.

While all of these changes were happening there were small bugs on the alarms, like the one with different timezones documented on a short video here https://twitter.com/mejutoco/status/1526100127668224002

Don't get me wrong, Apple is so ahead of other companies. I think until more companies rise to their standards they won't polish these issues, since they face no competition. But they are not perfect.

My mother also can't use the redesigned alarm easily and is now forced to ask Siri (which always works great!). She's legally blind and can't see red and black contrast. What a stupid design from Apple that can't be changed. I'm convinced Apple's accessibility team is either for optics or is full of people that have never met someone with a disability.
