Here's the thing about smart phones: you cannot reasonably prop them between your shoulder and you ear. Not only will you get an instant muscle cramp (and probably scoliosis within minutes if you persisted), but the thing won't actually stay there. In that respect the really, deeply suck.
But whatever. Price you pay for the benefits of the form factor. Or whatever.
That said, this has a consequence: if someone calls and (a) you don't feel you can skip it, (b) you still need to have both hands for something (anything) other than the phone, and (c) you don't currently have your buds in then you must, in short order:
- answer the call
- switch to speaker
- prop the phone somewhere
Presumably the people who write the UI for these things have this experience, too.
But recently with my phone, when I tap to answer, the UI goes through some flashy, batter draining, nonsensical animation which results in the hang-up control landing right where the change-the-audio-button was a moment before. I have no words.
Random musings
If you found yourself in the same room as whatever self-satisfied twit is responsible for foisting "liquid glass" on us and asked the two nearest other iPhone users if they wanted to help administer a swirly, what do you think the odds would be?
I put them over 2/3, personally.
