Also nice how the built-in Iphone calculator app is plain and simple in portrait mode, and rivals a scientific calculator when rotated to landscape mode.

  The problem is that this is only discoverable by accident in specific circumstances. I almost never hold my phone in landscape.

    Apple did the same thing with undo. Such a commonly used feature, hidden behind shaking your phone? That’s not even an interaction. They’ve slightly improved it with three-finger swipe to the side, which at least is a bit like a gesture, but again completely undiscoverable. Apparently under no circumstances will we just be getting an undo button. It’s not just Apple, though: there’s a whole page of useful settings for Instagram’s Hyperlapse app. Guess how you open it? You tap the screen four times with four fingers. Why on earth did they build and maintain a settings page and then hide it like that?

  You just blew my mind.

  It should go RPN when holding the phone upside down. ;)
