but the tab bar is within apple's design guidelines. it also makes navigation a whole lot easier because you don't have to go back to the springboard.

- jazzychad 15y agotrue, however guidelines are just that. and sometimes rules are meant to be broken.
- ethank 15y agoTo this point, there is no better party at breaking the HIG than Apple. Case in point: Garageband for iPad. And likely cases in point: every app they are releasing this fall, which were all made post-Garage Band for iPad.
- bignoggins 15y agoyes but I'd argue apple is right when they say don't make springboard UIs (which they did @ WWDC). Think about it. If a user opens up a program in windows, and he get another UI that looks like windows, he would be very confused.
- lyime 15y agoWith Lion, Apple broke their own OSX UI guidelines. Sometimes to innovate you have to break the rules.
- bignoggins 15y agodifferent tastes I suppose but I've never found springboard type apps visually appealing.
