Just dont pull a Windows 8 and try and force me to use it.
While I appreciate all the updates and features added inside the apps, I'd have to agree that you'd think they'd put SOME effort to making the MAIN page a bit more feature rich and functional.
Not even in the ballpark of truth. The reason Apple hasn't changed the home screen has nothing to do with an inability to innovate or a general disinterest in that area of their OS. If MSFT and Google have done it, you can bet that Apple's UI team has considered it.
Still, I think it would be nice to be able to have a quick launch from Control Center to Settings, it still feels like a natural place for it.
Some of the best ideas (wether they come to fruition or not) come from the fans!
This looks needlessly complicated. Not sure what this would add to the user experience.
Why not just get a Windows Phone then?
Why does anyone think that is a valid question? This is actually one of the nicest features about Windows Phone.
I don't get a Windows phone because I use Mac OS at home and at the office. Meaning all my content (and most purchases) live in iTunes, iPhoto, App Store, etc. Unfortunately I'm stuck within Apple's walled garden and locked in pretty tight. Will have to think about this more going forward.
Regardless, that doesn't mean Apple can't look at something done better that improves their user experience and leverage it in some way. Doesn't have to be exactly the same.
Just reduce the amount of damn clicks I have to make. Are you going to argue that what the video demonstrates in the beginning is a "good" or "great" user experience? It WORKS fine, but could seriously be improved.
I said it's limited to which apps it will be useful with, the majority of apps will not need widgets, however I think developers will push one on there in anyway.what if you wanted to check some sports scores and the weather w/o having to enter a sports app, exit, then enter the weather app, then exit.
Interesting idea. But I think widgets on ios are obsolete. App icons like calendar and clock do already show up-to-date information, and for stocks, weather and calendar events this information is in the drop-down.
Wdgets on Mac OS X are great.
Ungodly numbers of clicks to the damn home button is what's needlessly complicated. This looks pretty damn slick and would save me tons of time.
Weird, that workflow demo'd is almost verbatim of what I do throughout the day. Weather, stocks, messages.
Launch. Close. Launch. Close. Launch. Close.
No good for the one-handed users.
