There is a series of novels by Neal Stephenson collectively called The Baroque Cycle where historical figures like Newton, Leibniz, Locke, Wren and Boyle are prominent. I've heard that many of the broad strokes in their lives are true. It's a long read but worth it IMHO.

I read this book, quite a few years ago and I still think about the things I learned about Newton.
Isaac Newton (Giants of Science)[^]
It is a young adult book and you may make fun of me for that ( I read it when I was 45), but it serves as a really great wide coverage of the interesting parts of his life which you can always follow further if you want to know more details.
Light Made Up of All Colors
I remember him creating a test to prove that light was made up of all colors (very cool) Spoiler -- he used two prisms to prove this. Very simple idea but he thought of it first.
Staring At The Sun
He stared at the sun so long (to study it) he went blind for a while.
Many other great things revealed in that book and it won't take you long to read (126 pages) and it is very entertaining. It isn't written down to a child it just provides facts directly. Great stuff.

My mom, a 92 year old grandmother, dreads every ios update pushed to her phone. Why do the Apple UI/UX people have to move EVERYTHING every time? Seems to me Apple has WAAAAAY to many UI/UX folks that need to justify their existence?
Now, grandma is no slouch. We're talking about an early adopter here. She always gets the latest iPhone and loves it. Uses her iPad constantly. But the updates are keeling her.

Because the alternatives are even worse.
I hate to put it that way, but...that's reality.

I have a cheapo galaxy A25 or something. I love it. Then again, I don't do much with phones, but it's unobtrusive and fast.

Whether it's a sign of too many UI/UX folks, it's a sign very poor planning in that area. The changes could be reduced if capabilities planned in future releases were taken into account instead of churning the UI every release.
I worked on a product that decided to change its UI. The difference, compared to the Apple, was that it had a much smaller customer base consisting of large companies. The people in those companies who used the product pushed back on the UI changes because they already knew how to use the product and didn't want to learn how all over again. This killed the UI "improvement" initiative. Apple, on the other hand, faces no significant, if any, pushback.

Err... usually Apple gets grief because the iOS UI didn't change enough (compared to Android).

I feel ya as a long time iphone user. But I gotta say that Microsoft started that trend, afaik. Microsoft has been rearranging the furniture for 3 or 4 decades now.
I think that's their attempt to make you feel like it was money well spent.

Yes, it depends how you define "being productive"...
