Yes, the people of Earth could never grasp the awesome complexity of a new edge gesture.
Of course the home button was such a simple UX though:
* Press place your finger on it to use Touch ID
* Press once to go the home screen
* Press twice when unlocked to bring up task switching
* Press lock button then press twice to initiate Apple Pay
* Press and hold to talk to Siri
* Press at the same time as the lock button and then release to take a screenshot
Yeah, it was such a SIMPLE bit of UX. If you’re a UX expert arguing for the supremacy of a verb with at least six overloaded meanings, imho you’re UX charlatan.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> a single new edge gesture There's at least three - swipe up for home; swipe up halfway and hold for task switcher; swipe left for previous app. If you've turned on Reachability, there's also swipe down to activate that.
- grabcocque 9y agoThe edge gestures for switching apps aren’t new, they’ve been on the iPad for some time. The swipe up to app switch/go home is the only new gesture. Anyway my point stands: the home button was a massively overloaded bit of UI and no serious UX person would defend that.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> The edge gestures for switching apps aren’t new These aren't edge gestures - they're on the Home Indicator. And "3D Touch Edge + swipe" was already on the iPhones. > the home button was a massively overloaded bit of UI Cannot disagree.
