It's definitely not obvious, but there's only so much that you can make _obvious_ on such a small screen. Its important that cancel and done are obvious, as they're the primary action here. I think its important that you know you can delete some of this info, so the delete is buttony. Is it nice knowing that you can change the label of a phone #? Yep. Is it important? Not really, especially if the contact has only one number (probably the overwhelming majority of contacts). If you care and start poking around, will you discover it? Probably.
- scottbruin 16y agoI actually didn't discover it. I had to look online to figure it out. Think too of how one would come across this screen. My goal was to add a home phone number. One doesn't think that you need to change "iPhone" to "Home" to add a phone number. The older way with the green plus buttons (http://artoftheiphone.com/2009/02/02/how-to-add-prefixes-suffixes-middle-names-etc-to-iphone-contacts/ http://artoftheiphone.com/2009/02/02/how-to-add-prefixes-suf...) was easier to intuit so I'm not sure why it was changed.
- DougBTX 16y agoFWIW, you've just pointed to a howto article which describes it as "hard to find" - and they must have thought it was hard enough that people could do with some extra help before they wrote the article. You can't please everyone! I can't remember how you would change an entry labelled "other" to "home" with that version of the interface. One benefit of the current one is that you change the field label in the in the same way that you set it the first time, so there are less "parts" of the interface.
