My dad recently had me help him remove "Maps Galaxy" which had taken over his Chrome homepage, and which he had accidentally picked it up trying to get to Mapquest (which he apparently still uses regularly).
He is also the kind of person who wants an iPhone because he was impressed by the quality and capabilities of the Apple ][ computers he used in college. It's difficult for me to understand, but I have to respect that kind of loyalty in our rapidly-changing digital world.
Oh no, he has a low/midrange Android and upgrades every couple of years. But occasionally he mentions he's thinking of switching to Apple, and mentioned that as the reason every time.
Incidentally and unrelatedly, I have had the same iPhone for the last 7 years, but I've been using a feature phone for the phone part the last 5. I'm reemerging into the smartphone world with Verizon's 1X network shutting down and I've realized I am also definitely rapidly becoming "old people" myself.
All of the phones I thought were so cool are now hopelessly obsolete, and most may not even be able to activate on a current network. Even beyond the obvious headphone jacks, physical keyboards, and removable batteries, what happened to phones with FM radios, tiny secondary screens, and IR blasters? Everywhere I look all I see are big screens and fancy cameras.
