Make taking iPhone screenshots easy again

Thanks for the post. I did not know I could change that new interface.

The worst part of that new interface is the removal of the universal symbol, the trash can for delete. But here, in Apple’s wonderful new interface, the replaced the trash can with an X in a circle, which is usually the symbol for closing a window, NOT delete. But if you hit X here to close the screen shot editor that pops up for you new screen shot, you delete the screen shot rather than just close the window. DUMB!

And actually, I wish they would move the also move the power button as well, because taking the screen shot is annoyingly so easy you take a lot that you do not mean to. Power and Up do a screen shot, but Apple, in its wonderful HI (UI to everyone else) design, put those buttons almost opposite each other, So if you grab your phone and want to use your thumb to turn it off, 4 out of 5 times, you take a screen shot, because holding onto the phone means your hands are over the buttons on the other side, so you often push the volume buttons at the same time. Same for changing the volume. Since you have to hold the phone’s opposite side to press the proper button, your hand is naturally over the buttons on the opposite side. The power button should be far away on the opposite side of the phone, like on the bottom of the edge for example? 

Personally, I am happy the Sr. VP if HI (what Apple calls HI,  everyone else calls UI) because for the  last 5 to 6 years, Apple had taken things that used to take one or two actions and now take 4 to 5. And like Adobe and Microsoft, they have started  moving  things around with each release, so finding the thing you used use and know where it is, has moved.  Kind of like if the grocery store rearranged all their isles and moved all the things you usually buy to new places on the shelves.
