"Back buttons are there, you know, to get back. Very common usage pattern." Apparently not common enough to warrant having a back button on the iPhone.

"Back buttons are there, you know, to get back. Very common usage pattern."
Apparently not common enough to warrant having a back button on the iPhone.
- schrototo 16y agoI'd argue that it's in fact not common enough to warrant a physical button, since there are many apps, especially games, that don't have this specific notion of "back". In my opinion, it's probably more confusing to have a button that sometimes does one thing and other times something else or even nothing.
- webwright 16y agoGiven the inconsistent behavior of the browser back button nowadays (with rich apps, lightboxes, etc), would advocate that we get rid of them?
