When I was at Apple, HI designers would each print out images representing the key "screens" of their apps, and assemble them into a wall where they could see "all of iOS". My favorite designs were always the ones that *couldn't* be printed—they were fundamentally dynamic. ✨

good interactivity is about being able to wiggle stuff, not about being able to click buttons

Inertial scrolling, rubberbanding, the keyboard, pinch to zoom, and slide to unlock are the classics. Some other faves: the back-navigation gesture; the iPhone X-era multitasking interactions; the iOS 7 level; parallax.

Ofc these aren't quite what "interaction design" means. That's generally more scenario-/architectural-level. But these little interactions (esp the classics) define primitives which absolutely define the high-level ix design.

Oh, how I miss the feeling of iOS 11 multitasking. Swiping the app into the display, such a fluid and organic experience. I’m still sometimes swiping down from above the app to enjoy the effect.
