If Apple's not careful, it's going to turn me into the world's most ardent Reminders user. Slowly but steadily, the built-in task manager on my iPhone seems to add features with each iOS overhaul that make Reminders even more essential.
I did not feel that way when Reminders made its debut on the iPhone way back with iOS 5. It struck me as superfluous, duplicating list features I could already find in Notes. And if I really wanted a dedicated app for reminding me about everything on my to-do list, it seemed like there were far more robust options available to download from the App Store.
