I hate this. I want to be able to pick up and hold my phone without accidentally tapping on something near the side.
Many phones already have this solved through software.
Well Apple hasn’t solved it, because every time I try to set my phone down but leave an app open like instacart or DoorDash or Uber, with a map so I can check where my driver is, and I go to pick up the phone again, it taps the map which launches the map app, so I’m in an entirely different app when I’m trying to quickly check on something time sensitive. It’s super fucking annoying.
Also obscuring the top portion of the screen with the speaker and camera is pretty fucking stupid too.
So yeah, I hope they “solve all that with software” or whatever the fuck……….
I wish they’d focus on removing that silly “dynamic” island. I’d actually rather have a bezel at the top.
Why? What are we going to do with 1.5mm of extra screen space? Seems like a lot of effort.
Haven’t we been through this before and we decided that small bezels provide a lot of utility for both drop protection and ergonomics?
