When you make major interface changes like this, Apple should have to explain why this is better. Please add me to your user testing group. Honestly, I could do a better job of designing and managing a rigorous review and user test testing process (if they’re even is one) then these supposed experts making $200,000 a year. This is the first comment I’ve written to Apple after many superfluous user interface moves and changes over the years that don’t add value.Įvery time some designer or engineer wants to make a UI change such as this one to a behavior and look that is so ingrained in users with no clear benefit over the prior way, Apple needs to first ask, how is making this change better? Why is this necessary? Who is requesting this and why? Are people dissatisfied with the current way we are asking them to perform a particular function or access a particular screen? Is this change worth the investment in resources and requirement for users to change ingrained/habitual behavior? Sometimes people (user interface designers, engineers) make changes just to make a change (job security?) The point is WHY make users change their behavior to do the same thing? Why spend the money to pay an engineer to do this and go through the review processes (presumably, my guess is it wasn’t user tested)? What possible value ad is there in making this change? Yes the point is not that we can’t find or figure out the new way to access find my phone, silence, sleep, etc.
