Discovery's feel was off even in the first season. The Klingons always felt off, and there were a lot of places were things were just too dark for Trek. DS9 is the only time Trek successfully questioned and deconstructed itself while still remaining Trek.
I’ve always found iphones to be decent devices … except they are terrible phones.
Most smart phones seem to be terrible phones, probably because they're pocket computing devices first and foremost. We got the Pocket Secretary from Shadowrun 1e, but never got the Sixth World.
Not that I get involved with the weird mobile phone brands as religion camps out there, but as an aside I rarely actually use my phone as a phone. That’s the least of its functions for me.
I've often wondered what percentage of the time the average smartphone is used as an actual phone.
Well, I’m ok with their non-phone uses. The current iPhone cameras are great. I just wish they were better phones. The ergonomics are terrible and the speaker and microphone placement are lousy. And the volume upper limit is quite low. And the phone UI can use improvements. And call hand-off between devices often fails.
I actually use it a lot. It took me years to have the ability to call without limits, so I make as much use of it as I can.
