Can you succinctly explain why having a single button is better ui design than multiple buttons

The back function is built into the apps. The other functions are built into the swipe gestures along with the ability to go to the previous app. It takes minutes to get used to and is exactly as functional. This feels like a complaint from 2010 when the home button only went home. Only the iPhone SE even has the home button anymore.

Tech illiterate boomers can figure out either OS just fine, but it's awesome to see goons in 2023 still making "I prefer Android" a big part of their identity.

Yes, my wife is getting one because she has a 3-4yr old iPhone 11 that now has the battery life of a Sega Game Gear. I will not be getting one because I don't swing off Tim Cook's balls.

I don't need an iPhone, I just look up phone specifications and find one that does what I need for usually about 1/3 the price and own it outright. I like Android because I can install the apps I want on it.

The iPhone is literally a social anxiety purchase. If you're an impressionable teen this may be a problem for you, if you're an adult that's pretty sad and weird.

But I'm sure you can all find excuses for needing a $2000 phone you pay for on a plan with interest and never use most of its power or functions.

Or people like things that work well together and that is a value to them. If you have an iPad(s), iPhone(s), Mac(s), Apple TV(s), Airpod(')s and buy supported products like ones that support AirPrint, Time Machine, Homekit, and Airplay, you pretty much know it is just going to loving work.

And this extends to other products as well, when I plug my iPhone into my Car, Carplay automatically pops up and presents a coherent interface that I know how it works regardless of whatever fuckery the car maker is doing.

but no, i will not buy the new iphone, op. because i know someone who will buy it because they're an idiot and they will also probably give me their iphone 14 (junk now, no good, the 15 is coming out) also because they are an idiot.

then i will also sell the iphone 12 this person gave me when they got the 14. because while i, also, am an idiot, i am a resourceful one.

I'm getting one because my iPhone 11 PRO MAX is on its last leg and I have been holding out for a USB-C iPhone for as long as I could. Truth be told if it wasn't for the lovely lightning connector, the cracked screen and lack of magsafe I'd probably try to hold on a bit longer.

Steve jobs was right, not about cancer treatment options, but about big phones being lovely. The standard size, like chemo, is the best.

The first smart phone I owned was an iPhone 4s, and man was that thing perfect in size and weight. No one needed to improve upon phones that size; it was a good phone.

Airplay is cool but it needs to let you play movies when the car is in park.

I can almost certainly promise you that my home has more embedded tech than like 99% of the planet, my kitchen alone has two Windows 10 PCs, I currently have 74 devices on my home network.

Sometimes you just want to print something or play Spotify in your car.

She knows how I feel about Apple, but I don't feel strongly enough to go all "e/n Chick-fil-A sauce guy" on her about it. She can keep her MacBook, iPhone, ipad, airpods, apple watch, and the two ipods that are in the junk drawer.
