Why iPhone notifications need an overhaul
Everybody hates smartphone notifications. They’re interruptive, distracting, annoying, and increasingly less valuable.

But it’s a constant struggle: every new app you install wants to get on your lock screen and the little pop-up box is all too easy to just say yes to. Ten-ish years into the smartphone revolution, we’re still coming to grips with which things we should allow to interrupt us.
