Can we agree that touch control instead of knobs is worse UX for often-used functionality?

@gimsieke well since I'm using an iPhone right now, er, no.

But I definitely agree that THIS UI is worse. Not only that but sharing the cooking service with the button that turns it off is a possibly fatal mistake. Especially when the control system responds to boiling hot fluids as if they are touch.

@Alexbbrown How do you adjust the volume on your iPhone?

@gimsieke To be pedantic, I use the touch controls on my AirPods half the time, and have turned off 50% of the volume control functionality (ringer volume) because of the physical buttons getting triggered by mistake and ending up with inaudible alerts.

But I take your point. I wouldn't mind a couple more buttons on the phone to drive a custom function.

@Alexbbrown @gimsieke These stovetops are sold on their own, so there really isn't anywhere else to put the controls.
