And yet, in the world of GUIs, discoverability is getting increasingly rare. I don't think it's prioritized at all anymore.
And I'm utterly lost. At one time, Apple was said to be the high priests of user experience, with intuitive interactions that would just work the way you expect. This seems to have fallen by the wayside, pushed out by making it more sophisticated I suppose. Because things that I do instinctively on Android, I just can't figure out how to do. I've had the phone a week now, and I still haven't figured out how to do a "Switch App" (like Alt-Tab). A few times I've accidentally hit it, but I can't figure out what the trick is.
I don't mean to say that it's objectively bad, but it sure has erected a wall against anyone who might migrate from Android.
I don't think it's the iPhone's fault. I think it's because I am used to Android.
Both Android and iPhone are very unintuitive and lack discoverability. You learn how to use them with experience.
People say that, I always wonder how much of that was true. It took me three days to figure out how to get my iPad Touch to stop repeating a single song. I don't know how a single song got selected on repeat.
