The question at issue: ergonomics new iPhone

For six years the iPhone has come a long evolutionary process, continuously changing the design and number of features. To date, this device is not only thinner than the first iPhone but also contains a number of things that are absolutely impossible to imagine in the original device. Remember, though, about such innovations as the antenna iPhone 4S, located at the edges of the body, or the iPhone 5, with its magnificent display and ultra-compact design. These innovations have led to a deeper change in the look of devices always successful from an aesthetic point of view. But when it comes to ergonomics, it is impossible to say with absolute certainty that the new iPhone in the hand is better than the old one.

If you, like me, bought their first phone from Apple in 2007, you probably agree that with each new model it is beautiful and ... convenient. The first three versions, especially the 3G and 3GS, were pleased with the rounded corners and were almost perfectly in the hand, they do not slip, unlike modern variations.

Starting with the fourth version of the iPhone devices have become angular edges: it is, on the one hand, Apple has allowed to reduce the size of the phone, and the other made it less successful in terms of ergonomics. I remember being tormented, when he first took the iPhone 4: 3GS after it was quite a walk to hell. Because of the glass, which produces the rear panel, my phone sometimes slipping out of hand - especially when they are wet.

With the release of iPhone 5 the situation has not changed much: yes, the back panel now does not slip, and allowed the new nest for a few millimeters to reduce the thickness of the device. But again - the iPhone 5 sharp aluminum edges, it is not so easy to hold in hand. Of course, everything is relative: millions of people daily by the five and feel fine. But many, like me, complain about the ergonomics of the latest iPhone - especially those who began his acquaintance with the 3G or 3GS.

 

What do you think: Does inferior ergonomics current iPhone first versions or is it just my grumbling?
