Rethinking the iPhone’s App Switcher
Some interesting ideas from Verge Forums user brentcas.
I’m a little crazy about user interface design. And while I am no professional, new ideas for how software could or should work can keep me up late into the night, sketching in my Moleskine. About a week ago a really simple idea hit me as I was falling asleep: the App Switcher in iOS should be taller.
And why not? When you double click the home button and the screen rises, the status bar also vanishes, and you only have visible access to four apps. If you want to change the volume, you have to swipe over twice. Meanwhile, the raised app is taking up a lot of real estate.

Only in my wildest dreams would I actually own one of these beauties. At a astonishing $3650, this gorgeous piece of furniture is well out of my reach, but that doesn’t mean I can’t admire it from afar! With it’s sleek and modern look, this trunk would fit seamlessly into any stylish urban loft. Don’t live in a stylish urban loft? No matter! This trunk has such a strong an versatile presence I bet it would look good anywhere.
