After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
That's a poor analogy.I say NO, to a notification light. Do you have a notification light on your computer for new emails, etc.?
You have locked screen notifications, you have a notification screen, you have icon tags. I don't see a need for a stupid LED light flashing.
They took a page outta android why not poach some good bb features as well.
This and imessage will put Rim 6ft under.
I hate the idea of an LED indicator. I hope if it is true it can be disabled. I always thought they were stupid and annoying.
@redbeard, with iOS5 you don't need to unlock to see notifications. Just press the home button to see notifications on the lockscreen.
I use to love the led light on my bb and also bought the app to customize a color for each notification like when it is yellow i know it is a certain email account, green another, and etc. I really missed it when I first switched to apple but now I don't miss it at all... now I feel more relaxed and no longer a slave to my phone as I need to attend to it for every single blink it gives me (having the led flash at me just drives me nuts and makes me NEED to check the phone for whatever it is that I received). I also got to a point that when I see a color blink from something else I would think it's my phone and ended up looking at my phone every 15 minutes.
I mean it is useful but everything has it's cons and pros right? I think it really just comes down to personal preference... I wouldn't mind at all if the LED notification really comes true but I certainly do hope that apple gives us the option to turn it off...
I'm sure you will be able to turn it off. You could have turned it off on the BB as well before it "enslaved" you but yet you chose to enhance it even further...hmm.![]()
