My phone has a bottom panel... a left 'menu' touch screen area, a right 'back' area, and in the middle is a home button. Galaxy S6! Before that I used a droid and it had a nice optical joystick/center button.
I die inside a little when I have to use gestures to 'go back' whenever I must borrow an iphone.
I don't see the point in the entire front of a phone needing to be a screen also.
And audio jacks are just gone now from phones. Horrible designs and impractical decisions forced upon comsumers.
The fact that buttons reappearing on phones is now noteworthy is just hot garbage, it is all nonsense trends.
- naming_the_user 2y agoThe back button situation on iPhone is easily the worst thing about the device IMO. There's not even a universal gesture. I think that the Android panel works well, no need for a physical button, it'd be too fatiguing I think to use over and over.
- thebruce87m 2y agoI don’t know about universal, but every app I just tried went back to the parent page when I swiped in from the left side of the screen. This included apps from Apple, Google and Microsoft, along with some random others.
- naming_the_user 2y agoIt works until it doesn’t. Say you are in a picture gallery - then you might have to swipe down. If you’re in the file browser you might have to click back. It’s pretty arbitrary to be honest.
- amadeuspagel 2y agoBut android still lacks a forward button, and instead has two buttons (square and circle) that I can never tell apart.
