Apple probably has the biggest hold on the tech market. In fact, there is a high chance that you are reading this article on a device made by the California-based tech giant. And among that huge user base, there is Chase Elliott, who uses an iPhone too. However, he has one issue and recently, the Hendrick Motorsports’ Golden Boy has revealed his pet peeve with Apple products.

In a recent interview with The Athletic, the interviewer asked him, “On a scale of one to 10, how good are you at replying to text messages in a timely manner?”

And, Elliott replied “Not great”. But he has one pet peeve which he thinks can be a genuine feature Apple can introduce to make it better for him.

He said, “So this is my pet peeve with text messages and what I wish Apple would do. You know how you can read an email, but then you can mark it back for yourself as unread?”

“So my problem is if I have my phone on me and I’m doing something, I might see a message somebody sends me and I might open it and read it and think, “OK, I need to get back to that person later.” But now I opened it. So it’s gone on your unopened thing.”

Elliott has been leading the drivers’ standings for most of the season so far. And he continues to lead at the time of writing. Certainly, the driver for the #9 is incredibly consistent. Moreover, he’s a driver with good experience and has already won a Cup Series title.
