As a VoiceOver user, I can provide a lesser known perspective. I've gotten used to waiting several months until I actually install a new major release. With the exception of iOS 12, basically all releases since iOS 5 were quite buggy when it comes to apples screen reader VoiceOver. Luckily, applevis.com these days publishes a list of known problems with accessibility on iOS a few days before every major release. So those of us that depend on lesser mainstream features feel the bad release quality already since quite a long time. Still, with all the hickups that Apple has during new releases, their accessibility stack is still lightyears before Android.
- Razengan 7y ago> their accessibility stack is still lightyears before Android. Don't you mean "ahead of"?
- chrismorgan 7y agoThat’s what that means, “before” being the opposite of “behind”. It’s just not as common a construction in most English locales as it used to be. It does still get more restricted usage in this sense: when considering the future, “this is what lies before us” wouldn’t sound out of place.
- curryst 7y agoOut of this context, I would assume that "before" is being used as a location instead of a temporal reference. I.e. "this" referring to some kind of object; "the food was laid before us". As a temporal reference, it's definitely valid, but it bears a somewhat highfalutin connotation. It sounds like someone who is trying to wax poetic. Not that I would fault a non-native speaker for using it; it's a very nuanced and probably subjective interpretation.
- mlang23 7y agoYes, "ahead of" probably sounds better. I am not a native speaker.
