| Calendar in the notification center ain't no substitute. I'm looking at my iPhone right now. Swipe down: the screen is full of today's date, the weather, a note telling me that it would take me about 4 minutes to drive somewhere (why? I'm not going anywhere today? And why is it telling me it'd take 4 minutes to drive to the local Urban Outfitters store? Oh wait that's also a bus stop I walk to a lot, GOOD JOB APPLE), and telling me the next thing up on my calendar. At the very bottom of the screen is an icon and the very top of my calendar. And this calendar only shows me a couple things for today, because it insists on showing me the hour grid around them. In the future? It just says "It looks busy tomorrow. There are 7 events scheduled." Back on the Android, I would have seen something like this floating on my home screen the moment I unlocked the thing: Today:
9:00am refresh con signs
11:30am change patch!
6:30pm Jason's game night
8:59pm Sunset Saturday:
5:13am Sunrise
9:00am Market day!
3:00pm Yoga
8:00pm Sunset Sunday:
5:13am Sunrise
5:45pm Intermediate pole etc, etc, etc. There's my next few days, constantly there for me to glance at and have a chance to think "oh I have this thing coming up, I should prepare for it today". Doesn't tell me how long an event is but that's not a thing I actually care about most of the time. |
