Good callout of usability. Does it need to be presented so dramatically?
"she couldn't figure out how to share photos, so I called her"
Could this not wait until later?

Re: Perfectly Cropped
#12I switched to Android around the time iPhone 5 came out. Whenever I touch one now, I feel like a idiot and dinosaur. It can take me minutes to figure out the most basic things, and often I end up searching on the web. In the pursuit of a "clean" UI, iOS has become completely unintuitive and confusing.
My favorite unintuitive iOS feature is “shake to undo”

#13With the proliferation of different screen sizes and zoom factors, these kinds of usability problems will continue to happen. The only way I see around this is by re-introducing the 'obvious scroll bar' element, or alternatively a different kind of indicator that advertises where the current view is in relation to the entire content.
> The only way I see around this is by re-introducing the 'obvious scroll bar' element... Or Apple could do the right thing and go back to a 3.5" screen size on all their phones, no exceptions. Even a 4" screen size would be better than these clown-phone monstrosities. IOS could then just dead-pixel all pixels outside of the center 3.5" screen on all existing clown-phones for backwards compatibility.
Is this supposed to be sarcasm?
People it's clearly an unpopular opinion, and those bigger screens literally fly off the shelves...

Personally I hate the big phones, but I would prefer to have a dumb phone with physical buttons if I didn't need all the two factor apps, public transportation ticket apps, car apps and whatnot.
Right now I am looking at the Sony Xperia 1 as it seems to be the best "smallish" phone now a days.
Yes, I know I am in the minority.

My complaints are that the OS seems slow. Maybe it's the animations, but it feels slow.
Or when podcasts are buffering, instead of giving an indication, the play button stays on pause. Confused me until someone on the internet told me.
The UI is unintuitive, but for work purposes it was fine.
Found the near daily updates I had to "sign in" AND enter passcode for annoying. Especially when I was in work crisis mode.
Not sure why Android doesn't have these problems, but I don't understand why anyone would get an iPhone, they feel years outdated.

Like a tiny down triangle in the corner? This stuff is super not hard. You just have to give a shit.
Sounds like Linux excuses "you just aren't using it right"

It’s incredibly hard to make a great user experience look great.
Lots of people can’t tell the difference between something looking awesome and working well.
Re: Perfectly Cropped
#19I had exactly the same experience. It really is not obvious that additional buttons lurk just offscreen in that dialog.
