On User-Focused Design

Monday, July 26th, 2010

So, as you probably know by now the new iPhone has some sort of problem when you hold it a certain way. Apple has apparently been telling people that they’re just holding it incorrectly.

Now, I have no special love or hate for Apple.  I think their products have a really nice design and their user interfaces work well for lots of people.  I think I might get a Mac for my next laptop.

But I have to say I was pretty peeved with Apple’s response here.

As a rule, one does not design for how one wishes users would behave, but for how users really or are likely to behave.

It’s a phone!  Guess what. A WHOLE LOT of people are going to hold the phone by gripping each side.  Even Steve Jobs holds it like that sometimes.

So, don’t tell your users they’re doing it wrong.  Design your product around your customers instead.
