iOS14 UI

When we looking at iOS and Android, clearly Apple paid attention to smoothness and usability more than Android. Apple always uses only one method to get what they want: naturalness. iPhone was inspired by nature like Apple’s many products.

When we look at Steve Jobs’ biography, Jobs felt that Apple should create products that everyone can use; even without the user guide.

For example, iPhone’s home screen can be compared to a book page in real life. When you look at the movements you can understand what I’m saying.

We can’t flip a book page up or down, so we can’t do it with the iPhone too. If we ask that every smartphone is not like that anyway; old Androids were very confused about this.

Another example will be the cursor. Gestures on the iPhone screen are designed according to our cursor usage habits. We move our finger on the screen like a cursor. Just as we used a cursor on the computer.
