Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] What happened to Apple design?

Apple watches what other phone companies do, looks at the most popular features and tries in some way to improve the feature(s) before adding them to their products. Remember, Apple is very security conscious, so if an Android feature does more than the same feature on the Apple phone, it could be because of sandboxing.

Never heard that before. iPhone users buy iPhones. They don't buy them based on feature catchup, although that will help. Note the word catchup. Often the catchup features aren't as full as the Android version as well

Ok. I'll
Say it this way.

When android borrows a feature it dies just that. It borrows

When Apple borrows a feature it seems to borrow it in such a way that Makes people open their wallet to get the apple version.

Cant see improving. Often they take an Android feature, and it is less featured than the Android version. I see the wallet thing as releasing a phone, or product, and drip feeding the features, encouraging, repeat purchases. Great move money wise, but quite shallow.

Both borrow and improve. To many people when Apple improves what it borrows, it's in a way that makes them open their wallet. lol.

Happily, Apple has been adding old Android features for a while now, and long may it continue.

Apple had no good notification mechanisms for awhile.

Android shamed them into them.

Apple usually excels vs. Android (I use both heavily) but not allowing you to have lousy options, Interrupting people with dialogs notifications on a touch device is a nightmare. Trying to get phone calls and use GPS and having messages overlay the core information (caller names, street names) and having to wait a few seconds to press the screen because I might accidentally click a notification and end up elsewhere is almost never a good experience that is why you and I and others would turn it off.

The fact it could ever be turned on EVER AND THAT A LOUSY OPTION LIKE THAT EXISTS is not a great continuity with their usual attention to detail of the UI experience,

I get what you are saying. So. Apple users are buying a device that is worse to you but seems to be not worse to them.

Apple has always said they intend to be better than Android because "less is more" providing people with options that are that different really makes the individual user experience a lot different for better or worse. I would argue worse.

I changed my notifications to not modal and disallow the ones I do not wanna see. Perhaps you should do the same??
