I love hands free, but apparently my iphone doesn’t know its in my car. It seamlessly can answer calls, or play music through my cars speakers, but thats about it. Everything else is just about it being mounted on my dash.
Why doesn’t the UI of my phone change when its connected to my car via bluetooth?
Let me first say that I love apple products. However, as a driver, this most recent iOs update made is very hard to perform basic functions while driving. I am not talking about using Siri or playing a game, I am specifically talking about how the button to hang up the phone went from 2 inches rectangular to 1/4 inch circular. Thats a big difference while you are driving. I expect for the UI of my phone to become simpler and bigger while I am driving. I do agree that is looks better, and is more cohesive, but that is not the point I am making here. I am talking about usability of a smart device during certain types of activities.
Ui elements – smaller buttons
Phones need to become more contextual to meet our needs. Context doesn’t have to be magical, however connected devices should give clues to a phone about how it could work and behave.
My phone is beautiful, but I am waiting for the utility of it to catch up to my expectations.
Good vs Better
