Nitin GanatraApple design can be exhausting at times. Quick, how much battery charge does my iPad have?
But at least the UI looks good on billboards though, right?
Drew Pickard@nitinganatra the answer is ‘circle minus a hair’
Tim Johnsen@nitinganatra this drives me insane. I know how to use Touch ID and I literally wake up my iPad to check battery like daily.
adacosta@nitinganatra Its a philosophy of #Apple products. Battery life is not something to think about or be fixated on. Things like battery, processor speed, storage size, how much memory are a common attribute of Steve Urkle/PC World. Apple devices, you use them, if its low on battery, it will let you know. Not saying I agree with it, but this is how Apple views things like this.
Sam Clemente@adacosta @nitinganatra One of those "How dare you not be as mad about this as I am even though it's just an opinion and people are free to have their own" kinds of things here
Like my answer would be "don't know, don't care"
Steven Huang@nitinganatra My pet theory is that something changed in HI between SJ’s and Forstall’s preference for on-device demos to Jony’s and successors’ preference for printouts on a board. I think that made massive, non-functional artwork gain too much screen real estate.
Jim Luther@nitinganatra When Nitin was still at Apple, this never would have happened.
@jimluther is everything okay, Jim? Have I not been giving you enough attention?
Steven Woolgar@nitinganatra I need to write some stories while I still remember. Like the time we debugged an AppleShare server bug and played like we were the guys from dumb and dumber while looking at their code without source using MacsBug.
@jimluther you really should..
donkey@nitinganatra @marioguzman Put the iPad in any other orientation and you’ll be fine. 😉
Harsh Dhabhai@nitinganatra yes, this. It drove me crazy! I ended up putting up the battery widget on the lock screen.
