What a ridiculous comment.
Ok but what about for people who spend a lot of time traveling and lose out on work productivity as a result? This is a game changer.
Go touch grass. Not every new feature is some nefarious conspiracy. Grown adults can have this problem too and sometimes they need to or want to use the phone in the car or train. I’ve never had this problem even as a kid but I’m not going to btch about an accessibility feature just because I don’t need it.
I'm conflicted here. At first that sounds logical, but who are these people traveling to work, but who have someone to drive them? A work buddy maybe? And where are they driving that takes so long that the rider needs to catch up on work? If it takes that many hours, they should fly instead. Then work at the hotel, instead of puking on an expensive iPad Pro!
If you’ve ever been in a road trip, you eventually get tired of seeing the same scenery. And it’s in the middle of nowhere, so you’ll be seeing the same hill and trees for a while.
As someone with ADHD and who knows how many other letters, I think it's funny how I can see the intended humour in the post you are replying to, and see the nature of your post, but all the posts that then follow on I quickly cannot actually tell if they are supporting you, or the original post you were responding to. So rather than trying to quip in myself, I'll just say this.
For some of us it takes less than a minute to get sick in a car. Here is a scenario for you, you get in a car (could be a friend, family member or taxi) and you have to send a text to someone, it’s urgent. Some of us cannot even finish typing up the text (shorter than this reply) before getting nausea in a moving car. Just because it doesn’t happen to you, doesn’t mean others don’t have such issues.
That's valid for some. I remember being on vacation and stopping in a tourist info in Oklahoma. I told nice elderly lady there that we were headed for Amarillo, and asked what there was to see on the way. Her answer was "A whole lotta nothing." She was not wrong. Fortunately for me, I don't get motion sickness. And the wife only noticed it when we were driving through the hilly & twisty roads in Tuscany. Oops, I forgot the fishing trip from Hell. We both got queasy, in a Boston Whaler during a 6 foot swell.
Maybe write the text before you get in the car? How did you make that urgent text before you had a cellphone?
I remember being bored to absolute tears long before the end of a 12 hour day in the back of a car traversing the Western Australian desert with nothing better to do than watch the power poles getting thinner and thinner as we got further from civilisation. If I’d had this feature and it worked, I’d have happily spent those travel days reading an ebook.
