The new iPhone really shows what annoys me about Apple

Started by Glenn Slaven · 1 year ago

One of my mates got a new mac & the other day I was having a play around with it. It is sweet.  The UI is out & out gorgeous, no question. It’s intuitive too, I really haven’t used a mac since I was in high school, but it all just worked.  The photo application [...] ... Continue reading »

    Your whole Apple-doesn't-let-users-do-complicated-tasks-because-users-would-hurt-themselves angle is very naïve.

    Copy and paste is hard because it's hard to implement with the iPhone's UI. The web is primarily where you would copy/paste, and all the gestures are already being used for something else.

    You're crazy if you don't think Apple has tried several ways to implement copy/paste and hasn't found a satisfactory way yet. Anywho, the 2.0 update isn't out yet, there could still be some surprises.

    As an iPhone user for more than six months, it's really not that big of a deal for ne, I'm almost happy it's gone the way of menus and scrollbars.

    Cameron, my bottom of the range Nokia phone does copy paste. It does it pretty well too.
    I'd say it's naive to think you can simplify user interface without cutting features. Sometimes features aren't as necessary as we think they are. Other times people make mistakes and ommit ridiculously basic features such as MMS. Other times people release an unfinished product and then "get the rest in the first patch".
    Obviously that's a little cynical, but really, a "3G" phone without MMS? That's just lame.
