I bet after Year 2025, Android users will still be using "Back Button"

They just won't give up the "Back Button"

Biggest reason why I don't dare to change to iPhone is lack of the back button

This youtube video explains everything why iPhones do not need a back button. nod.gif

Iphone design is much more advanced than you thought. Until today, iOS still does not need a button.

Everytime i see Android phone users pressing the "Back" button. It makes me wanna laugh at them. sweat.gif

The only important button on an interface is the back button

That's why the Asha 501 series only feature 1 button which is back

The rest are handled by gestures ala the legendary Nokia N9

Meego Harmattan has perfected the gesture navigation 10 years ago

android now also uses gestures instead of back button, but functionally the same lah

at least the pixel does, not sure about other manufacturers

thanks but no thanks. i prefer specific button for specific function.

3 lines on the left : brings me to list of running apps i can kill/switch to back & forth
Home on the center : self explanatory so i can run new apps
Back on the right : brings me to previous page of the current active apps.

Till this day still good & consistent navigation.

One thing i'm still waiting for is the ability to take screenshot by knocking the screen aside from pressing volume+power button. I not sure if other phone brand but my kolik punya Huashit can do it and look sibeh cool.
