It's sad no one bothered to copy ideas from Windows Phone 8, its UI had a lot of thought put into it and was exactly as efficient to use for left-handed users.
- sajithdilshan 4d agoIt’s not only the UI when it comes iPhone Duo. It’s the hardware as well. Currently it folds open to left and because of that’s it’s convenient for a right handed person. You hold the phone on your right hand and use the left to fold open. To support a left handed person it should fold open to the right, also that way it’s a bit weird, although I’m curious to see how the animations would work for notes apps for Arabic language UIs where text is written from right to left.
- qingcharles 4d agoThat's interesting. It's not just left-handed people, you're right. It's whole countries with LtR or right-bound standard for book opening, e.g. Middle-East, Asia etc.
