606: A Decade of Half-Presses

So sort of delicate, like, just think about pressing it, and then you'll get into the menus. And again, it's not bad, because I don't think I want to get into the menus a lot, and I do know how to do it now. But it is so much... I don't know how to... So much more like... I don't want to say sophisticated. It's so much less...

straightforward to do like it requires more mechanical finesse than i would have expected way more mechanical finesse than half pressing a shutter button and having handed my very large cameras to many people over the years for them to take pictures i can tell you that the average person has difficulty half pressing even a gigantic shutter button that is very easy in my opinion to half press because it has like miles of travel and you literally push it halfway down you cannot push this button halfway down like the travel is so short if you try to push it halfway halfway down you will completely depress it you have to think about pressing

When you're using a camera, usually you are adjusting... Especially if you're fumbling for it, like real quick, you go, oh, I'm getting the camera out. It's not the time for a now. I'm going to apply the most controlled pressure I've ever applied using the tendons in my fingers.

Yeah, let me fast forward this for Apple. The solution to this, the real version 4.5 of this, I mean, I don't know how many years in the future this is going to be, is to solve all these problems. Basically, that entire side of the phone needs to be a giant touch-sensitive, pressure-sensitive clicky button. Because, for example, zooming and swiping...

The little interface that appears is maybe a little small, but the essentially trackpad area, it's a small button. That area of like swipe, swipe, swipe, it's barely enough to satisfactorily cycle through the menus, let alone being satisfactory for Zoom.

I feel like that whole side of the phone needs to be just one complete featureless thing that you can squeeze and it haptically clicks and the whole thing is touch sensitive and it needs to go in more. I don't know how they solve this problem, but it needs, it's strange to say, but I feel like the camera control is

too small like for what they want it to do if you just want it to be a shutter button and you can use it that way and by the way i will say that is the big benefit of the camera control if all these things we're complaining about you can just ignore them and just say this button is just a binary button and i press it all the way or not at all and it works that way i don't think you'll accidentally half press it a lot especially if you're just always saying press

press right but if they want to go whole hog and have this be like a touch sensitive thing to swipe through uis and stuff like that they need a bigger touch area and they need a way bigger button they need just that whole side to just be one giant button that also happens to click and i don't know how they do that but that would be that would be better than this tiny little thing

I don't think I need to go to the double click. And I also don't think I need to adjust the sensitivity. I've tried the different settings and I feel like that's not the problem.
