No argument here. I use primitive Linux, which at least does what you tell it to most of the time. Whenever the computer thinks it is smarter than the user there will be problems.
And couldn’t they try this equipment out before dumping it on an unsuspecting public? I sometimes wonder if it makes Alpha testing, never mind Beta.

Believe it or not, the iPhone is supposed to be using the forward-facing sensors that are a part of the cluster in the notch. It was never this bad before now, or this noticeable. There’s more bugs in this now than I think I’ve ever encountered. And I good and damn pissed off about it because I’ve spent more on this particular model than on any other before it. It’s one damn good reason I didn’t pre-enroll for the iPhone 12. I’ve also had to do the equivalent on my Macs, especially both of my Pros.

I am in no mood to put up with anybody’s expensive yet shitty software. That includes everybody, so don’t preach to me about Microsoft. Apple may be bad, but Microsoft is worse.

What idiot thought it was a good idea to have the brightness and colour change with no input? It’s one thing to dim down after a certain amount of time or due to the ambient light levels. Quite another to randomly fluctuate for no reason.
I’m glad I don’t have modern technology like that!
