What commenters say

  • A visible scroll bar or indicator is necessary to help users understand their position and navigate effectively. Some argue that a simple indicator, such as a line or triangle, would be sufficient to inform users that there is more content available. Others believe that Apple's design team prioritizes minimalism over functionality, leading to usability issues. The introduction of a scroll bar or indicator would require a re-evaluation of the design team's approach to minimalism. Some commenters feel that the issue is not with the design, but with the user's ability to adapt to new interfaces. A few suggest that standardizing screen sizes or introducing new form factors, such as folding phones, could help alleviate usability issues. There is disagreement over whether the problem is specific to Apple's design or a more general issue with user interface design. Some argue that other platforms, such as Android, have similar issues with usability and intuition.
