One of my two iPhones — this one — last week offered me an update to iOS 15 and I accepted. I didn’t notice many changes, but I did notice this one: the address bar in Safari, a browser app (as The Economist would put it) is now at the bottom of the screen.
Erm, why? We’ve had nearly 15 years of Safari in iOS and more like 30 of browsers in general, and they’ve all worked just fine with the address window at the top. Have Apple had the feng shui-ists in? And, even if they have, couldn’t they just have moved the smoothie machine the other side of the climbing frame? Rather than mess with something I use every day that was just fine as it was?
