I can't believe that I've been using an iPhone for 18 years now. That's tough for me to imagine that it's been that long since I first got acquainted with one, but it's really intriguing to see the iPhone's evolution since the early days when Apple was focusing on simplicity to seduce people to think its experience was better than the heavy menu-based systems other smartphones were using at the time, like on BlackBerry, Symbian, and Windows Mobile phones.
With the release of iOS 26, however, it continues to highlight Apple's commitment to iterate its iPhone software with more personalization and features than ever before. But despite these advancements, I still get annoyed by many things about my iPhone 17 Pro. I’m not the only one either, as my colleagues have shared some of their biggest frustrations about owning an iPhone too.
