Sometimes less is more. I can see why people like these features and would want the, but not all of them are a hit. The last one especially with app previews just isnt necessary. So are the "dynamic badges". We already have the notification center which is just as easily if not more easily available and it gives you the same information.
Other platforms already have these features. I think a lot of these people who create concepts of its features that exist on WP7 or Android etc. should just switch to that platform. It's not that these are a bad idea by themselves and a few are actually good ideas. It's just that there's a chance they can cause more problems than they solve and become annoying. Like I said, less is more especially when it comes to Apple and it's iDevices.
- technoslut 14y agoI completely agree. Most of these features aren't necessary and seem more interested in playing with your phone than using it for a purpose. People already have a problem with putting down their phones and being constantly inundated with notifications which doesn't make this a good idea. I do enjoy the app previews while multitasking since it is wasted space but it seems that Apple has been toying with this similar concept for over a year. A YouTube video shows an early build of iOS 5 running this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-gfF3Pryc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-gfF3Pryc
- joering2 14y agoI agree also. And +1 you. iPod still has the "old" slower CPU than iPhone. It take couple seconds before selected Safari tab will open. This feature of quick tab browsing would not work. Perfect example of less is better is the swipe-down notification. Totally useless (turned off everything since numbers on app badges are enough to know something new is going on), further they don't look Apple'ish, since I read somewhere they were direct rip off of Android after Apple got upset with Andro of stealing functionality.

[...] It's just that there's a chance they can cause more problems than they solve and become annoying. Sure there's a chance of that, but the question is whether that actually does happen, and you'd have to examine it rigorously (ideally with a working prototype) to know.
