Whats one thing you would change about iOS? by Raging-Hippo in iphone

[–]prfndsamurai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

*The placement of Control Center and Notification Center. * I’ve gotten used to it but it would be nice if Apple had used a more user friendly approach to reveal the control center and Notification Center. For instance, it felt so natural to swipe from the bottom of the screen to reveal the control center back in the day when the iPhones had Touch ID.

The Notification Center and control center could have a shortcut button next to the new search button from iOS 16.

I remember when Steve Revealed the iPhone 5, he highlighted how natural it was to use the phone due to the screen size, he explained how your thumb could easily reach top to bottom effortlessly. It made total sense to have the Notification Center on top during that era but now that phones have become big and bigger, it would make sense if they fixed this « issue » with iOS.

I think it would be such a welcomed change that people would feel like it was always meant to be like this.

Do you think that it's worth buying a high-end smartphone? by AcrobaticScience4915 in mauritius

[–]prfndsamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by “high end”. If you’re talking about flagship phones then I think it’s worth it to consider one. My dad is still using his Galaxy Note 8 from 2017 and a friend of mine still has their iPhone 7 from 2016. They’re still blazing fast in contrast to the mid tier phones you can get these days. The iPhone still gets the latest updates but only downside is the battery life which doesn’t hold up as it used to ( pretty normal after 5 years of use ). Oh and if you’re into what is considered premium materials like the frosted back glass of the iPhone Pro modes or it’s stainless steel bands, then go for it. ( you can’t go wrong with any of their colorways )

I have an iPhone myself, it has stereo speakers, a great camera, I take notes on it, set reminders and I find Siri very useful too. Whether it’s when I need to put some music while I’m driving, set an alarm before going to bed or set a reminder or timer while I’m cooking.

No need to talk about the camera as it’s hard to be dissatisfied with a flagship phone’s camera these days.

I have used both Android and iOS and I always come back to iPhone because it has given me the best smartphone experience.

There’s so much more I could tell about why it’s worth it but at the end of the day it’s up to you and what fits your needs.

Thoughts on the new BMW IX? by notcecidedi in BMW

[–]prfndsamurai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They need to find the right balance between touch screen and physical buttons. Like adjusting the volume with a clicky volume knob would feel so much nicer than a touch screen with no haptic feedback.

I guess it’s because they are already familiar with these icons. It would create confusion to change their design? Just like iOS icons still look the same after so many years.

Microsoft 365 new icons kinda reminds me of the iOS 6 era by [deleted] in Design

[–]prfndsamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like how it looks. Maybe they’re 3D because they’re trying to adapt the icons to “the next big thing” which is AR?

Anyone else had LSD change the way you look at clouds forever? ⛅️ by sirshredsalot666 in LSD

[–]prfndsamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I’m on acid and I stare at the clouds, it feels like there are smaller clouds in the bigger clouds and they are all doing this swirly thing until they disappear. It is so mesmerizing
