I've been a iPhone user for years. After having the iPhone4, I took a break and tried the Microsoft phones, and found them to be a breath of fresh air, except for the lack of specific apps. As a phone, it had all the core features, it was simple, and it worked well. After switching back to iPhone 6, Apple had added so many new features that it wasn't the simple phone I started off with years before, and I was a bit lost. If I was confused, I can only wonder how my senior citizen parents may feel after they inadvertently swipe from a edge of the screen, and see a view they've never encountered before. I feel Apple has crossed it and created something that isn't so simple anymore.

As for the Amazon Fire tables, I feel they were never simple to begin with. Maybe that's because I was coming from the iOS direction.
