It frustrates me that the iPhone's UI is stuck firmly in what can effectively be considered the smartphone's past. The UI was revolutionary at first, but that was years ago. Now it's archaic and limiting. I understand Apple's reasons for disallowing UI change, as it is a support nightmare, but I do wish they would allow some kind of opt-in system where you could enable UI replacements, without being forced to jailbreak your phone.
- evo_9 16y agoWhere you see archaic and limiting, the market - aka normal folks like our mom's and dad's - see a friendly and consistent platform that doesn't change ever time they see a new Droid commercial. People need to realize Apple is a consumer electronics company now more like Sony than Microsoft.
- mrcharles 16y agoI don't think I've failed to realize that, in fact I specifically addressed it. But that doesn't mean that Apple can't enable power users in some fashion. Plus, a lot of the iPhone's UI now is just ugly, usability aside. The settings menu is just painful to look at, compared to the slick menus and options in Android phones.
- ugh 16y agoThat seems to have more to do with personal taste. I think the Android settings menu is horrible.
