Awesome: you managed to devote an entire article (and created the corresponding ad space) to a feature so self explanatory that its entire help text fits into the button itself...
How about a series of articles on other little talked about features?
Here some suggestions:
The headphone plug
The volume buttons (could be two parts, one article on the + and one on the - button)
The mute toggle
The power button
App folders
I'm sure more topics will come to mind as time goes by...
Ah. Reachability. The feature that in terms of usefulness competes directly with quick type for me. Especially when browsing: tap-tap. Then tap on address bar. Again tap-tap for copying link. New tab. Tap-tap for Address bar. Tap-tap for paste. And not soon after you can modify the link. Ok. Doesn't happen often. But still, all this tapping is close to overloading the UI IMHO. I'm curious whether force touch will simplify or add to the complexity.
Yeah, I activate Reachability by accident far too often. Why it's not a toggle in Settings is beyond me.
Why would they ever switch from Windows Phone? Windows Phone 10 is coming! Unless of course, they're just saying that in the forums to insulate that Windows had this feature first, and they have no plans to ever use iOS 9.
If Windows had it first...why does it matter if they say that? How many Apple fans go around pointing out all the things iOS had first? Heck, most of the new stuff in iOS is stolen from the jailbreaking community.
You're not sorry. I assume you guys only test the site with chrome.
Some of us still use Safari on iOS 8. I know, crazy right? Who still uses an iPhone to view this site? We should be using safe and secure android where Flash is still worshipped as a deity, am I right?
In the meantime, can you fix the issue for the last of us iOS 8 Safari-using hold-outs? Because Safari does in fact support HTML5 video:
All navigational buttons should be at the bottom of the screen.
Wholly agree. Something that every other mobile OS apart from iOS seems to get right. Reachability is an absurd solution for something that shouldn't be a problem.
I really hate it staying up there blocking the signal strength. I don't usually need to right back to the previous app. It's distracting. It makes me want to close the app and reopen it directly just to get rid of the stupid thing.
The new back button looks horrible, blocks other info, is not necessary, and doesn't match the rest of the UI.
What the hay?
Yeah. Duplicates functionality by removing other functionality (ability to see info). I'm with you
This button will only be on existing hardware. The new products, available next month will not show this button and be replaced with force touch. As new hardware cycles in and the old cycles out, this will be a temporary measure.

I'm not running the beta, so the feature is new to me. the article did its job by informing me how it worked and when.

I'm struggling to see how the new back button looks horrible? What's horrible about it? Plus it's not there all the time. It's only there to help you remember where you were and let you quickly get back when you get taken from one app to another.

None of the features you mention are in beta.
I haven't had the chance to see the feature in question to see its drop-dead simple interface in action.
It's too bad it's not as good as the Android back button.
In Android, if you click a link and get forwarded to a web site, and then click back, that web page will not remain open after you leave it using the back button.
Here in iOS, clicking on a number of web links ends up with a ton of open web pages in Safari. Seriously annoying. And no way to close all the pages at once either.

I see that message in both Chrome and Safari on my Mac.
Then someone at AI must have messed up real bad on the content side!
I can't reach up there on my 4" iPhone 5S without shifting my grip.
All navigational buttons should be at the bottom of the screen.

^ There's no need to swipe left either. The correct maneuvre would be double-click-then-tap.

So I found this information useful.
I honestly like reachability and quick type.
Right there with you, brother.
Heck, once I got used to Quick Type I couldn't believe I ever was able to function without it!
