Annoying little arrow in beta 4

[Alex Crane]

By the way, why we can`t unlock device in BOTH directions? I think it would be useful for left-handed people for example =)))

Just checked out, personally, I can unlock in both directions with the same comfort.

FWIW, I showed my wife the arrow and she goes, "Yeah, so?"

People with too much time on their hands like to moan about everything.

I actually thought it worked that way when I loaded up beta 1. It would have been great for all the left-handers.

No man, seriously! Why complicate things? And why is that Phone icon on the left side anyway? It will just confuse the already confused people.

Many of Android people not getting confused (I`ve never used Android though.)

How about something like this?

And many others do! I used Android and I actualy find it quite good but I know many people who have moved to iOS simply because of simplicity over complexity.

How about something like this?

With the icons up top and down below, you wouldn't even need the arrows, really.

I don't know. I'm not a fan of how "hard left" and "hard right" the unlock and camera are really.

I would hate designing for an overhaul for the iPhone. Those poor developers can never win...

Interesting, but I can see the camera being activated in someones pocket even more than it does now.

 

[Alex Crane]

Try to tap the camera icon. See what`s happening? UI showing in which direction you should move it.

Now try to tap the "slide to unlock" text. See? The same thing. Along with "unlock in both directions", this asymmetric (I insist) arrow not needed.

It`s tooooo different (from iOS6) =)

Like the rest of iOS 7.

i don't understand why so many of you think a little arrow is ugly. how long do you spend looking at your lock screen?

 

[Sodner]

Maybe and arrow in front and at the end of of "slide to unlock" to even things out?

> Slide to unlock >

Or

- Slide to unlock >

Or

- Slide to unlock -

Thoughts?

Ohh... Now I have iPhone 4, but when I get iPhone 5S with amazing parallax effect on a lock screen, I`ll spent hours there =))))

The '-' make no sense as they don't contribute anything. The two arrows version is the better mock up.

< slide to unlock >

and implement unlocking in both directions =)

Hmmm... Didn`t know that.

I was trying to imagine how it will be.

I`me sure that Apple designers will do better though =)))))) And hey, this will appear just once =)

You think a giant man hand is better than a small arrow point? Good lord!

It doesn't really affect me at all. I hardly realized it was a change until some people got all aggravated about it. There are so many other things in my actual life that are more pressing and annoying than a little arrow.

But hey, down with Ive and his ******** arrow!

In my mind this hand is smaller, cuter, moving to the right and dissapears forever after first unlock (see "Cut the rope" first level).

 

[TrenttonY]

Can somebody make a mockup of

> slide to unlock >

and

- slide to unlock >
?

I wouldn`t do with `-` cause it`s ugly (believe me).

That doesn't look too bad. I still think you are focusing on this too much. It's not that important.

 

[MacDawg]

I think the green battery indicator in the upper right corner is far more annoying and asymmetrical in your pic

Really? Maybe only visually. In fact all elements in 90% of cases on the same places. Have a look at Settings app, Phone app, Messages. All the elements have a new look, but on same places and behave the same way.
