Which proves that history repeats itself. Apple goes overboard with its initial design and pulls back in places with subsequent point releases. Everyone in 5 years forgets that their phone was allegedly unusable!!! for a matter of months.
- r00fus 13y agoSorry, it's hardly been unusable. I've had almost zero issues with iOS 7.0 - most of my gripes are my dislike of the new icons and bad discoverability (e.g.: casting a song to airplay /bluetooth speaker), but none of that made the phone unusable. The control center by itself makes iOS7 better than iOS6.
- calbear81 13y agoSame here, running on a 4S since release and haven't had any crashes or stability issues. The only thing I had to change was the "bold text" option since I found some of the text too light for my liking and that got fixed in 7.1.
- frou_dh 13y agoI just wish the forest that is Settings was searchable. One example being to find all the similar "Use Mobile Data" toggles. It's odd that it isn't searchable since OS X's analogous System Preferences has had its cool search with the fading light graphic for many years.
- r00fus 13y agoI hear ya - this is one area where Spotlight on Mac OSX Tiger (10.4 - almost a decade ago) really innovated - I could tell my folks to "use the magnifying glass on the top right corner and type 'mouse'". The same on XP could be a nightmare depending on how it was setup. Apple definitely should have kept the settings in the search in iOS. Right now it's sad I have to search google on how to find some of the settings on the iPhone.
- frou_dh 13y agoThe menu-searching (Cmd-?) with the auto-reveal and floaty arrow was similarly brilliant. I still use it to this day.
