Any new UI innovations that isn't already done in Android?
- canuckintime 9y agoDonwvotes? Alright let me reframe the question: Are iOS and Android continuing to converging on the same features? What new innovations can be found in the mature mobile market or should be look to other form factors?
- jsgo 9y agoI'm sure there are new things coming but the era of gamechanging (or at least gimmicks that felt gamechanging) is probably near an end. That said, I find nothing wrong with Apple adding features from Android (and vice versa) where it fits the device. The only thing I miss about the HTC One M8 I had was that I could double tap the screen to wake it (that rounded back loved sliding in the car. Reminded me of the iPhone 3G/3GS. Kind of disliked the phone outside of the double tap to wake and the speakers)
- freehunter 9y agoApple very rarely actually innovates. Their innovations tend to be the perfection of an existing technology. I can't think of anything they've done first. They're the prime example of "second mover advantage". AR/VR is where the new innovations are happening. ARKit, Tango, Oculus, Hololens, etc.
- Alupis 9y ago> Their innovations tend to be the perfection of an existing technology. Even this point is highly contentious.
- martin1b 9y agoThey used to in the Jobs era. Haven't seen anything jaw dropping since then. Mostly new colors, difference sizes and minor UI improvements.. Swift is cool, but it doesn't increase sales. AR/VR is interesting but won't take off until the hardware lowers in price..significantly.
