Many people have already come to the realization that Apple products are overpriced because of style and “coolness” factors rather than actual usefulness. The latest OS for their popular iPhone is further evidence of this theory.
Earlier in the week, Apple started to blitz out push notifications, which is a sign that they will soon be releasing new operating system to the general public. This is where Apple is showing signs of usability weakness for systems that companies like Nokia have fixed years ago.
In order to handle the plethora of notifications, a novel menu was added, allowing iPhone users to handle the notification settings for individual applications, and provide a faster way of turning them on/off en masse. Unfortunately, this causes real headaches for business users, headaches that Nokia solved over 10 years ago.
What Nokia did back then was allow for quick toggling between multiple settings rather than the old “menu hopping” ways of the new iPhone OS.
