Some faults i find with iOS7

A PHONE ISN’T LIKE YOUR
DESKTOP COMPUTER — YOU
DON’T SIT THERE WITH IT OPEN.
If Apple wanted to make iOS 7 more than just a
visual step forward, it should have changed the
way we think about information delivery even
more than its competitors have. Given Apple’s deep
control over everything that happens in its
ecosystem, and the fact that it always knows where
the phone is, the company could have done a lot
more to make sure the information you need shows
up on your handset without your asking for it.
These are the kinds of innovations we’re seeing
with Google Now, a you-don’t-even-have-to-search
tool that can, say, dive into your email and display
things like flight times and dinner reservations that
aren’t even on your calendar or show you all the
nearby restaurants at lunchtime without being
prompted.
On Motorola’s new Moto X, you can access this
information without even touching the phone.
Whether it’s in your pocket or across the room,
saying the words “OK Google Now” will muster the
full might of Mountain View’s servers. Imagine
what Apple could have pulled off if it had focused
on information rather than applications.
A phone isn’t like a desktop computer — you don’t
sit there with it open, staring at it, opening and
closing windows. You pluck it from your pocket,
unlock it, fire up an app, maybe toggle to another
one, and then put it back again. That screen in
your pocket may be the one you use the most, but
it’s a shower, not a bathtub. You’re in and out;
you’re not soaking. The new interactions on iOS 7
are great, but what we really need is something so
good at serving up information that we barely
need to interact with it at all.
