Surprise T Rex posted:There’s also the Reachability shortcut, swipe down off the bottom of the phone to bring the UI down, then swipe control center as normal. Yeah I basically had to teach my mom this when she upgraded to an iPhone 14. She wants smaller phones like the SE and I'm like "well if you want one with a half decent processor, upgrade to one of the ones with Face ID and learn to use Reachability"

Question Mark Mound posted:Held the Pro Max in the Apple Store the other day and have come to the conclusion that until there’s a gesture that makes the control centre reachable when using the phone in your left hand, I can straight up never buy the big phone. Apple should absolutely just adopt Android gestures. Being able to short swipe from either side for a universal “go back one layer” is loving great for one handed use. It takes maybe a day to adjust when you’re trying to swipe through horizontal menus.

My hot UI take is every tap and swipe should be located in the lower half of the screen. Then they can make the dumb phone as big as they want and everyone can still access the controls.

It takes maybe a day to adjust when you’re trying to swipe through horizontal menus. My friend just switched to iPhone and the lack of a universal “go back one screen” gesture or button is the ONE thing that has him on the fence of staying with iPhone. The gesture is just a small little swipe from the edge of the lower middle right of the screen about half an inch to the center. It’s right where your right thumb goes naturally. Apple should definitely implement this. I’ve heard the complaint before but never really registered it as there’s almost always a button to go back, but he’s been showing me a bunch of instances on how the method to go back does in fact change often. Sometimes it’s a back arrow, sometimes it’s an X, sometimes the only way to go back is the app switcher or the tiny text in the top left. I’ve gotten used to all of this so it never registered to me as bad, but after the demonstration of the back gesture, I see it now.

Doesn't all that 'why doesn't Apple do this obvious thing that Google does or vice versa' type stuff always boil down to a tangled mess of weaponised patents stopping either company from naturally adopting the most sensible ideas?

Hdip posted:Isn't "back" just swipe from the left edge to the center? Often, but not always. Sometimes it goes to the previous screen, sometimes it opens a new menu. Sometimes it does nothing. Also, if a link launches a new app, sometimes there's no quick gesture to go back to the previous app because the app switcher will show you as still being in the original app. It's not enough to make me switch to Android, but I can see where the complaints come from. In similar vein, I recently got a Mac for the first time after being a lifelong Windows user, and the lack of a taskbar to very quickly switch between open apps AND see a clear visual of how many are open is still frustrating to me.

MarcusSA posted:This can suck my dick and gently caress off Imagine working in a cell phone store where literally 25+ devices go off at once plus the phone of every employee and customer in the store. On a real note, I will absolutely take those alerts for Tornado warnings alone, tornadoes are fast and not to be hosed with. They gave us a heads up this morning on the test and I still jumped when my two phones started bleeping the alert.

I’m pretty sure the alerts had a non-zero body count. I imagine old people dropping from shock in a nursing home and spouses slaying one another after discovering their secret phones.

lol @ americans freaking out over a single mandatory test alert. try living in a country that is both earthquake-prone and at risk of military invasion, which means at least two test alerts per year (earthquake and air raid). i've known the settings to opt-out of all the emergency/governmental/test alerts are useless for years, suckers.

Yeah the whole point of testing the emergency system is to make sure you know it goes to everyone and that everyone knows what an emergency alert sounds like. Letting people turn it off kinda defeats the point.

Bottom Liner posted:swiping from the right to go back was the worst part of android and the one thing i couldn't disable. Hated it. You can also swipe from the left like an iPhone to go back on Android. Edit: Or did you mean you were just constantly making back gestures on Android unintentionally. I guess if a certain way of doing things has become muscle memory in a UI it's kind of hard to change. I'm constantly inadvertently doing the right thumb swipe to go back on my iPhone and it's probably the main reason it's not my daily as a mostly Android user.

I mean I don’t know what it sounded like because the moment it happened everyone in my office just frantically swiped/tapped/did whatever they could to shut the phone the gently caress up so that we could all get back to work. It was more of a nuisance if anything. Like on the grand scheme of things one test alert is no big deal I’m not big mad about it or anything. But it is bullshit that turning off govt alerts and whatever on my phone didn’t, you know, turn off govt alerts. If we’re getting nuked I literally don’t care cause we’re all hosed anyway I’ll just find out about it when I start seeing mushroom clouds. And if another 9/11 happened 8 states away from me why do I care to get an alert about it? What am I going to do with this information?

I haven't had my iphone (a used 64GB 12 I picked up on the cheap) long enough to really make a determination on notifications. I do like the phone for other reasons though. Even with 88% battery health, it basically matches my Pixel 7 Pro in terms of battery life with half the capacity. The build and form factor are very nice. It's a 3 generation old phone now that gets updates day 1 and probably will for a long time. It will hold its value extremely well (apparently) as the Google store offered me more for it in trade-in than I paid for it, and also more than my 1 year old 256GB Pixel 7 Pro, as I was contemplating the new Pixel 8. Which I think is just funny.
