This is the kind of thing that separates Apple from the rest of the crowd.
In this case? A small, but nice feature. But it's this degree of perfectionism that also means that they have the smoothest animations of any smartphone OS, the most responsive interfaces, the most carefully constructed hardware that feels just right in your hand.
Taken together this stuff makes a huge difference, but it's only achievable with a pathological obsession with detail. Android and Windows 7 don't have that. At least not yet.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI don't actually like the look of iOS very much, but the attention to detail they put into the user experience is a wonderful thing. Perhaps it's why Apple is slow to add features, because they spend so much time trying to perfect things.
- myko 14y agoI agree with your feelings on the look of iOS, and I think the attention to detail is generally really good. Given that I don't understand why their soft keyboard doesn't show lower case letters when inputting in lower case.
