i kinda like it because i dont even like hitting back even on my 5s so i cant imagine enjoying it on a 6+. reachability is a shameful hack for a shameful problem and it would be could if i could make a custom gesture to go back, like drag from bottom-left-to-top-right and bottom-right-to-top-left. i thought maybe assistive touch could help me do that but nah

they've already hosed up the sanctity of drag directions with "drag down from top for notification center" and "drag down for search" anyway

you cant use swipe to go back in all instances because sometimes items on that page have hidden directional swipe commands

actuallyl reachability owns withotu soidng something idiotic like making a nother button for no reoason like an adnrdoi.

difference being of course that iphone has one button that makes sense and anroid has multiple buttons with meaningless confusing symbols. the first time you use the iphone home button, you know what it does.

on anroid, youd have to remind yourself what the hell circle means compared to a square.

dont get me started on the useless back button.

instead of having seperate buttons like android, the way apple does it is give you one button that you need to press in a combination of morse code like presses to get it to do what you want

yea I've never understood how someone could prefer the navigation on an iphone. the back button behavior on android can be annoying in some apps but its still way better. last chance sorry about your brain damage also

the back button on android can do the following things:

1) back
2) forward
3) execute the selected button
4) nothing
5) clear the screen of all input
6) close the app
7) minimize the app
8) launch the app
9) minimize and launch another app
10) fill in default information
11) many more

all of these are app dependent and you have no way of knowing what will happen if you hit the back button!

I could say the same about the home button in ios and my statement would be equally as true as yours (ie false)

yeah i'm starting to care less and less about being Always Online and answering texts asap and poo poo, especially since i can do it from os x messages when i get home

i was never one for APPS APPS APPS. i have five rows of apps (apple bloat in a folder). the biggest feature of the 5s to me is its camera, so when my 5s dies or gets slow in 2019 i'll probably get another iphone for its camera or get a feature/flip and live an ascetic's life

It is critical that we remember the real victims of the Holocaust: the Soviets.

Claiming that the Holocaust was about Jews is Zionism. Biden is doing it to provide cover to Israel!

there's some infographic that shows everything the iOS home button can do to make the ux seem confusing.
over half of the graphic is accessibility stuff you have to enable.
