Maybe I'm missing something, but why does actively restricting features that people clearly want enhance user experience, and exemplify good taste? Where's the bad taste in NFC?
- rustynails77 14y agoI can assure you that that lack of a decent notification centre (like the one Android has had for a long time) is not style, taste or anything else. It's a MAJOR pain in the ass. To be able to disable wireless with a wipe and a tap is a VERY, VERY, VERY (you get the idea) useful feature. As I said before, this is not style, taste or anything else but a MAJOR pain.
- willtheperson 14y agoYou say "clearly want" but I you don't know that. You are making an assumption about what "everyone" wants based on what you want, or what you think is important. Maybe this demand goes beyond yourself to your friends (I mean hey, they're your friends because they are simliar to yourself right?) Tech savvy people get lost in this thinking all the time. I don't get why in a startup focus environment like Hacker News I see this so often. More doesn't mean better. I'm not trying to defend Apple here, I'm just saying that when you make a grand assumption about what the market wants based on some marketing hype, you've probably been steered in the wrong direction
- Mutinix 14y agoRight, maybe he doesn't know what everyone wants. But shouldn't the users decide that for themselves? Why put so many restrictions to prevent users from installing 3rd party applications?
