| This is all normalization to iOS horseshit. A list ordering is the most primitive and least memorable layout because lists sort arbitrarily and alphabetical listing of capabilities are not intuitive. But the weirdness only grows from here: For example, Photos shows library recents bottom to top, but pick-photo from library shows recents top to bottom Portrait orientation puts "Done" on one end, landscape puts it on the other. "Done" can be implied by a return tap or involve a "done" tap. Some controls tap, some slide and some do both. Release to release, the formats move around. Format varies between apps & modes. Mystery meat abounds Holding the device a certain way causes spastic mode changes, which vary release to release. Almost any way you touch the device instigates an action or mode change and some controls have 3+ levels of function: WTF does the "power" button do? - stand-by
- camera shutter
- emergency SOS vs shutdown
- arbitrary mode change depending on accessibility setting Bugs and features overlap. The UI is never baked, ever more modal... exhausting |
