Apple’s iOS platform has certainly come a long way over the past decade. It started as a bare bones mobile operating system intended to simply the smartphone user experience, and it was welcomed with open arms considering how sloppy and overcomplicated platforms like Symbian and Windows Mobile were at the time. Then as the years went by, Apple continued to add more and more features to its mobile software. iOS 12 is now a feature-rich OS with more capabilities than most people will ever use. It’s wonderful that the platform has gotten more versatile as time has gone by, but it has also gotten a bit more cluttered and complex in some areas.
One example of a feature that could still use some refinement is the iOS notification system. iOS 12 introduced a bunch of big updates to notifications on the iPhone and iPad, and they’re so much better than they used to be. Features like notification grouping and per-app muting area great indeed, but Apple still has plenty of work to do before iOS notifications and the iPhone lock screen are no longer headaches for users. It’ll be interesting to see how much attention these crucial features get in iOS 13, Apple’s next big iOS update that’s set to be unveiled next June. In the meantime, a 17-year-old just whipped up a terrific design concept that might be even better than what Apple has done in iOS 12.
