   One of Apple’s worst pieces of user interface design: the “Reply” button in iOS and iPadOS Mail. Two identical icons, one at the top and the second at the bottom. The top one opens a reply to the email, as you would expect. The bottom one opens up a smorgasbord of options. What a mess, and so easily avoided. #apple #ios #iphone #ipad #ui #ipados
