![]() ![]() I’m still standing on my soapbox that the iPhone Home screen needs a radical redesign. I can’t imagine how cluttered and random most peoples iPhone home screens are, and one of the solutions is “bigger physical screen”. Which is an interesting idea if you think about it. #Accessor launchbar freeI’ve always kept my bottom row free from icons so now I can fit a 4th row without cluttering up my Home screen. On another note, with the extra vertical space there’s room for another row of icons. ![]() My question, which would solicit a different answer from everyone because it’s unique to hand size is if the iPhone 5 is as easy to use one handed as the past iPhones have been. Jim Dalrymple reported that the iPhone 5 is, in fact, easy to use with one hand. #Accessor launchbar androidMy biggest qualm with past Android phones I’ve tested or borrowed is how difficult they are to use one handedly. Especially for a guy like me who is 5’8″ and has somewhat small hands. The onehandability of the iPhone has always been a great advantage. This image from Dustin Curtis is often referenced as a prime example of why the smaller-screen of the iPhone is superior to the ginormous screens of Android phones these days. And a lot of people are going to call us fanboys. The iPhone 5’s 4-inch screen: If the new iPhone screen is just as easy to use with one hand as all the previous models have been, a lot of iPhone owners are going to be very happy. ![]() Knowing about the iPhone 5 before it was announced doesn’t make it any less a device had we not known anything at all. The mystery and surprise of today’s announcements may have been diminished, but the quality of the products themselves was not. That is not to say that today’s event was a disappointment. It was like the whole internet had the run sheet for today’s event.Įarlier this year Tim Cook said Apple was doubling down on secrecy, and yet virtually every single thing announced today was called by the rumor mill. Even iTunes 11 was leaked via Apple’s own website earlier this morning. And though we didn’t have pictures of what they’d look like, we were told what to expect in the new iPod touch and also to expect new nanos today as well (not to mention the “Loop” accessory). Like we saw with Gizmodo and the lost iPhone 4 in 2010, the iPhone 5 looks just like the leaks and rumors said it would.īut that’s not all: the new dock connector - Lightning - and the new EarPods also look just like we’ve already seen. This marks the second major hardware revision for the iPhone that Apple didn’t get to introduce to the world. But at each turn I couldn’t help but think how nearly everything being announced was something we’ve seen already or expected. There were some great announcements from Apple today. ![]()
