If I were to charge people to email me, I could likely retire before the year is done. I more than 100 emails per day on a slow day, and can easily top 200 emails on a busy day. This, of course, is why I had no choice but to destroy email.

Since then, iOS has grown more and more complex as hundreds of new features are added each year. On the plus side, more functionality obviously makes the iPhone more useful and capable each year. But this flood of new features also means that there are some great things you’ll never find because they’re buried.
Of course, that’s where we come in.
