> It’s an experience that is taken for granted now, but relative to the competition then it was revolutionary. Call comes in while music is playing. In response, the iPhone fades the music out while fading the ring in. The call can be taken seamlessly, and once ended the music fades back in. Simple. Obvious.
So much romanticization, but let's we forget it also had no copy/paste. What's more important? What's the better UX?
- redis_mlc 6y agoApple History Lesson I was the Apple Forums technical administrator at the time the iPhone 1 came out. All the hardware competitors said in print that Apple couldn't make a phone. Pleasantly surprised at how very, very few bugs/problems were reported on the forums. Yeah, but no copy and paste initially. (The forum databases ran on 3 PowerPC minis running MySQL using statement-based replication. Those were later upgraded to Intel minis. We didn't use any endian or isa-specific column types like float, so seamless upgrade.)
