Journalists from BGR have listed features of Apple smartphones that were initially met with a negative reception from iPhone users. The article was published on the outlet’s website.
The publication’s team compiled a list of smartphone features that annoy a significant number of users. However, the authors noted that iPhone owners have grown accustomed to many of these features, with some even considering them useful or essential. For instance, they recalled the negative reaction to the shift toward larger screens, as the 3-to-4-inch display had previously been considered the “gold standard.” Nevertheless, the journalists observed that Apple made the right move, as the transition to larger screens was inevitable.
Many users were also dissatisfied with the swipe gestures introduced to replace the physical Home button. To accommodate consumers who could not adapt to full-screen phones, the company continued to produce the iPhone SE—featuring the button—for years. The Touch ID biometric sensor was also cited as an annoying feature, though users eventually got used to it. According to BGR, the introduction of the screen “notch” also met with a negative response, though it was later replaced by the “Dynamic Island.”
In conclusion, the journalists noted that many users dislike the camera bump found on iPhones. However, this design feature made it possible to equip the smartphones with higher-quality lenses.
Previously, writers at MakeUseOf stated that Android imposes far fewer restrictions on smartphone users than iOS. They explained that Android allows users to download apps from third-party sources and extensively customize the interface and functionality.
