So why not allow both?
Did I say it should only be that or did I only state what my preference is?
So why not allow both?
It's completely unnecessary. There are already multiple ways to EASILY open the camera app. You are just choosing to argue against using those multiple existing ways.You are saying that a button with six functions (and maybe more) is not complicated?
You are also saying that adding a seventh (or maybe eighth, etc) function would be an unnecessary complication?
Why do you assume that I didn't give feedback to Apple already? I already told you that I might have done.
And why are you badgering people for supporting a request from someone else for a clearly rather popular feature? We are testing out the idea out by discussing it - that's the point of these forums, right?
Now, let's get back on topic. So far, the only arguments against are:
1. I don't want it. Fair enough, but people who don't want to use it don't have to. I don't personally use every feature of my phone, but I'm not asking for any to be dropped.
2. It's unnecessarily complicated, which I think we have disproved above.
Any more?
The power button already has multiple functions:
On/off, dismiss a call, calling Emergency number, showing the medical info and such.
Adding a double tap will only complicate the functionality of that button more.
As you know, complicating stuff goes against everything what Apple stands for.
I doubt if they’ll change it. It’s convenient to swipe left & double clicking is extremely convenient for Apple Pay.
The OP was talking about double-clicking the power button, not the home button, but you can add that function to the list of home button functions in my earlier post.
Gotcha! Thanks for pointing that out. I misread the post. However, I still feel swiping left is just as easy from the lock screen.
Wasn't aware. Thought it would be an appropriate topic given the forum it was posted in
It's less about ease of use and more about speed. You can open the s8 camera faster than the iPhone one every time.
With "raise to wake" enabled, I can get a cam shot off in less than a second with swipe left. That's fast enough for me. But I haven't needed to to be in that much hurry for a shot yet.
