Ask HN: Might Apple be botching their UI design lately, or is it just me?

4 pointsby joshjdrover 8 years ago
I'm just a bit frustrated with the elimination of slide to unlock iOS after years of developing the behavior. Also on the desktop, no more does the swipe to multiple screen gesture reveal the contents of the other desktops... now it requires the additional mouseover. I switched to Apple a few years ago, and up until very recently had been very satisfied because they didn't seem to do this kind of thing. Maybe I am just missing some settings? Please advise...

Don't worry, you'll get used to it. I think they're probably optimizing the UX for TouchID.

This is part of the premium you pay for using Apple products. While the design is aesthetically nice, you are limited in your flexibility. This is why I prefer other operating systems that I find easier to customize.
