Pre-sales of ‘disappointing’ iPhone 4S fail to disappoint

My Motorola Razr, released in 2004, had volume rockers on the side, which I used to turn my ring volume up or down. I highly doubt it was the only example of that sort of behavior.

Apple changed a lot of things with the iPhone, but let's not get into revisionist history.

Ring volume up and down. Ring volume. Not toggle between quiet mode.

All the phones had some sort of way to get into quiet mode. Apple did it right, no-one else had.

There's a vast gulf between volume controls and a tactile feedback of 'is my iPhone on silent, [move thumb over toggle], yes it is, brilliant'.

And that was the genius of Apple. But not just there on all parts of the phone.
