It’s well documented that what Android “Was” was very different prior to the iPhone and that they had seen the iPhone and then threw most of Android as it was away to start over.
- formerdroid 7y agoIt was actually pretty easy for Android software to change to support full-screen touch UI. Just add a software keyboard and inertial scrolling and enlarge the button sizes. You can verify this by reading the AOSP sources to see how little code was added/changed. Android was lucky to have an internal software architecture that was easy to reskin to support iPhone style UI. All the alternatives had more work to do.
