Does anyone Wish the iPhone had a Back Button?

[jburke82]

Nope, I don't wish for one at all. I have had android and windows devices in the past, and I still don't miss those extra buttons (back, menu, etc).

 

[projectman]

Nope. Swiping the screen "backwards" works well for me. Missed it when I first switched over from Blackberry but not anymore.

 

[applejosh]

I don't. I do wish the swipe to go back gesture was more consistent among apps and in the system, though.

I think BB10 gestures on iPhone would set the device on another level.

Most of the BB10 gestures that are worth anything were already available in some form on the iPhone. The rest of them are unintuitive and generally clunky. They would NOT be a welcome addition to iOS.

I hate pressing the home button 100 times per day. BTW, for how many clicks (presses) is the home button designed to handle?

Probably the same as a back button would handle.

The back button in android devices aren't physical anymore.

Ahh so just soft buttons off the main part of the screen?

Another one here for the swipe motion. If that weren't around, I'd probably agree that a back button could be useful. Then again, most apps have a back indicator in the upper left corner don't they? Why create a button that does the same thing?

Yep

Nah. For me, the back scrolling drives me crazy. If I'm trying to scroll down or up with my left hand, it always ends up on the previous page. That just really gets my goat, especially when I'm reading something....

I think it's frustrating.

Personally, I also subscribe for a "Back Button".

Love the back button on my Note 4,,,,, wish the phone 6 had a back button.

The lack of a back button on my iPads does not bother me though.

I am sure you are Android Lover or recently shifted from Android to iOS platform. I like my iPhone the way it is!

 

[papasurf]

Satan, no.

My first post after just reading stuff......and your reply made me LOL! I have been thinking about missing the back button for a long time. Then I picked up my first iPhone which is a 6 Plus 64 GB. I can live without the back button.

No need for the back button. I quickly got used to it since I used an iPhone 3G before my Galaxy S3. The only trouble I had was getting used to the double click for multitasking and the press and hold for Siri. On the S3 it was double click for s voice and press and hold for multitasking.

I wouldn't mind consistent back nav support. Devs have to come up with buttons to do it when the app calls for it. Might be nice if there was a system wide way to go back when appropriate. Doesn't need to be a dedicated button. Might confuse some people though. The way the devs do it now is certainly easy to understand.

The way it is , works for me. No need for a back button.

EXACTLY....I feel the same way

 

[codyoehl]

Yeah I did at first, and that was one of my main concerns when switching to iOS
I got used to it though
