While some of these are obvious - removing borders from buttons on iOS made everyone confused, in my personal observation - others are not necessarily "a naive attempt to emulate Apple". Eg.: you can't have (useful|easy to figure out) tooltips or "right click" on touchscreen devices.
- js8 11y agoThat's because touchscreen devices suck for the real work! Their popularity is actually mostly due to Apple, too. Still, that's not an excuse, think out of the box, come up with some other way to do the same thing. There are ways. Some applications for example had a "query" button which let you examine the UI, what each element does. I don't see why touch devices couldn't have the same thing as a (hardware) button. Steve Jobs hated buttons, but they have their place. If you eliminate all of them, of course you end up less productive. And yeah, unfortunately, my list is very obvious.
