iOS; Deeper Problems




His original job and it's responsibilities: Human Interface stuff, hardware and software, are now Jony Ives's.


Since Scott Forstall has left Apple, surprisingly, it's had a positive feeling.
Simple things in their software that were there before, like boring textures, like the gray linen in the backround for the multitasking menu, and backgrounds...but their is more Problems in iOS. The real problems aren't User-Interface (UI) related.
Accourding to Kontra, author of the counternotions blog, states this, the exact words were;

“In the end, what’s wrong with iOS isn’t the dark linen behind the app icons at the bottom of the screen, but the fact that iOS ought to have much better inter-application management and navigation than users fiddling with tiny icons. I’m fairly sure most Apple users would gladly continue to use what are supposed to be skeuomorphically challenged Calendar or Notebook apps for another thousand years if Apple could only solve the far more vexing software problems of Apple ID unification when using iTunes and App Store, or the performance and reliability of the same.
 Even though the excerpt is only, well, an excerpt... it's summed up mainly in these words, and it's worth it to read the entire post, I'm going to tell you; it'll tell you what you read (in gray), but way less brief.

The first main ( and common) would be the exchange of files to another iOS device, or even an iMac, it's obviously too difficult if the average person would have to google how to do it, or have people more like me, too stubborn to google it and try to figure it out on my own,and end up potentially messing up the process.
The second would be toggling and adjusting settings that take many taps just to get to them.
Wifi, Brightness, bluetooth, and others take more then necessary... which mostly kill battery.


However people like Craig Federighi, SVP of software, and Mr. Fixit Eddie Cue are working on it...be careful now, that's no reason to think they'll come to the rescue.
