Yes, if you read the thread plenty of people do not have unlimited texting, especially if we are talking about all kinds of different plans people might have throughout the world.

Something to do with not being charged 90p a text when abroad.
Also, it's not been molested by FB and it's an uncluttered, easy and quick messaging service.
Apple's expertise is not in nuclear power plant design (a highly specialized field - my father spent decades doing reliability studies for nuclear power plant design). Apple's expertise is in personal computing technology, both hardware and software. And they've been doing a tremendous job (a service to everyone, whether folks know it or not) lately of standing up to governments and government organizations that would like easy, undetectable, access to spy on everyone's personal data. This is becoming vitally important for the increasingly computer-and-networking dependent future of modern civilization.
What have you done lately that has had a positive effect on the entire world? Failing that, name another business that has been standing up to the government on privacy issues.

I have three Raspberry Pi's running in my living room - they clue me in to what other home server farms are doing.PS- how did you know about my nano server farm in my shoe closet? did one of my nano bugs got drunk and spall the word..?
Are we serious right now? I can count at least 10 UX faux-pas in the iOS 10 beta alone that are signs of regression from iOS 9. The addition of extra taps to get to something that was within one swipe or tap to begin with, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to UX. We haven't even begun to mention actual visual design language that looks so hokey now it's borderline unbearable. You can claim they're "mandating" it, but that's from a business perspective -- and if they want to make the most money by targeting tweeners and the east, good for them, but once again it DOES NOT have to come at the expense of an overall unified experience.
They've regressed, end of story.
A "faux pas" (n.b. no dash) is a mistake made in a social situation. it is not simply a fancy way to say, "thing I don't like", which appears to be the way you're using it. Nobody outside of Apple has spent a week living with iOS 10, and even then, it's still a beta. You're working from a few tens of minutes of video footage. I liked a lot of what I saw in the keynote (even more so things in the "Platforms State of the Union" and numerous sessions throughout the week). Out of all the recent iOS releases, iOS 10 could be characterized as the "Christmas Morning" release, with tons of small changes that users (and especially developers - it is, after all, a conference for developers) have wanted for a long time. Outside of this thread, I have seen a lot of positive reaction to everything shown at this year's WWDC. But we get it, given a few minutes of preview video, you hate iOS 10 because it doesn't appear to be exactly like iOS 9 (actually, you're making a good argument for going back to an entirely closed/NDA'ed developers conference, to avoid months of semi-informed complaining about beta software). But please don't try to make it sound like you know what's best for everyone or that you can speak for what everyone wants.
You, and some others here, keep trying to make it sound like "tweeners" and inhabitants of Asia aren't real actual people and anything that might appeal to them is bad and should be avoided, or, at minimum, ought to count less than things that appeal to us "real actual people". How condescending. I am not a "tweener". I have never even been to the Far East. And I like much of what I've seen of iOS 10. How about you stop trying to condemn it with an air of authority and start saying, "I don't like it" - that is an accurate and undebatable statement (and if you can do it in a Dana Carvey-style crotchety old man voice, so much the better).

Man I'm telling you. All I want is easier navigation to old messages. Fix that and save the emojis....
Thanks for the Webster's description, as if it were necessary -- you must be really fun in social situations if you don't know there are multiple meanings for a singular phrase.
As for the rest of your rather rambling reply that really only goes to show that you have no idea what you're talking about, those two segments of the population ARE indeed who Apple are targeting with this mess. If you like what you see of iOS 10 so far, good for you, but you also don't come across as having so much as one ounce of education or experience in visual design language standards and user experience best practices -- but I do.
I hope your spirited evangelism of everything Apple continues to go however you think it's going.
