Unfortunately, the form isn't functional in the first place, and the recommendation to spend more money on making the form worse to provide a workaround for the lack of functionality out of the box? I can't stomach that personally.

I remain a resentful Apple customer. I hope a new phone comes out this year that is right sized, so I can actually become a happy customer, rather than an even more resentful customer a year from now when I am forced into an upgrade due to lack of security updates.

If you are resenting Apple for making larger phones and not having a long enough security update support period, wait until you find out what everyone else makes!

I’m painfully aware that the rest of the market is worse.

Apple is the best practical option, making me a resentful Apple customer since ~2018. I was a resentful Microsoft customer back in the early 2000s as well, for similar reasons.

If there was a better alternative, I would “vote with my wallet”, but unfortunately there isn’t.

I feel it’s important to note, primarily because Microsoft never claimed their customers were filled with joy and delight from their magical products, while Apple continues to do so.

I have no joy, or delight, from using my Apple products. I get even less joy and delight each time I give them more money. If there was some other product range that solved my needs at a similar price point, I would already be there.
