When I heard about the promotion of (Sir) Johnny Ive to lead the Apple UX for all products, including mobile, I had to smile.
Maybe now, Apple will fix area that have been clearly broken for 5 years. Like cameras and video recording, for example.
Other areas for improvement:
- Ditch skeuomorphism. I don't need to see textures of Steve Jobs leather-clad private jet seats in my apps.
- Make controls consistent. The Music app uses Fast Forward and Rewind icons for next and last song inside the player. On the lock screen, it uses the correct Next and Last icons.
- Bring back Google Maps. All things Google really. Enough said.
