It seems counterproductive to force an up-to-date, streamlined functionality, such as iOS to emulate an older, difficult, clumsy system, namely OS. If I'm not mistaken, there are more users of the iOS than the OS. The iOS represents a gateway experience that the public has readily adopted. Among the public are large numbers of blind and disabled users. If this new mail modality represents Apple's future for iOS, I am going to be forced into seeking another phone and notebook alternative. This mail issue mushroomed, full-blown, from an update promised to improve, to make simpler, to add features. My experience has unfortunately invited an opposite opinion. No release notes guided usage; it was just changed, just done and just not helpful or easily usable. It feels as though there is a tug-of-war between some who learned on that clumsy, multi-step, multi-keyboard usage system and those using the iOs. It is my opinion that the older, less easy OS needs to give place to the more modern, more intuitive, more usable iOs and not the other way round. Each update adds extra complications to iOS in the name of improvements. There are a cadre of blind and sighted who, like the old friends at rehab, insist on speaking for us, the user/consumer blind, for our own good. I recommend that all of us speak up in our own best interest or risk losing something that could and did change the world for us.
