Disagree with the premise that there's less room for major exciting changes. We're still using the same dumb grid-of-apps home screen on iOS, which has been nearly unchanged since its 2007 inception.
I refuse to believe that swiping through pages of icons or typing their names into a search box is the best we can do. Some day we'll get a radically new iOS.
- lostgame 5y ago…what? It’s like you’ve never heard of Folders…the App Library…or dragging down for Search? For God’s sake; the App Library organizes things and was only introduced recently. Improvements are clearly happening. Are you an Android user, and not aware of these things? For crying out loud - Widgets were recently introduced! Meaning - literally - my iPhone looks nothing - atm - like a grid of icons. I feel like you’re inferring things haven’t grown at all since like iOS 3…that’s clearly not the case. iOS 7 was probably our radically new iOS. I don’t know or get what you’re expecting. Your comment reeks of inexperience with or bias against the iOS platform. It’s simply factually, objectively untrue. I’m guessing it’s bias against the platform, because it’s HN - and hating Apple is almost as annoying of a problem here as the Linux evangelism. (In the real world - especially in business - we need to run this thing called commercial software, kids. And not through an API emulation layer. That can affect our warranty and support. It’s cute that your unique position as the rare type of developer allows you to use a non-proprietary system such as your favourite distro. Reality check, though - shocker, I know - 95% of people who work with computers in business can’t do what you do. Stop telling us what to do.)
