User Interface

Everybody knows that Apple’s hardware is the most appreciated part but the user interface of its devices has astonished people as good as its hardware. And the man behind some of these UIs is also Steve Jobs. Even though Apple got the first GUI interface on Mac from famously compensating Xerox with pre-IPO purchase of Apple stocks, the company later decided not to depend on others.

#2 The Famous Dock

Dock was the all time feature of apple’s OS X. It was actually created and patented by Steve Jobs as early in 1991, when he was running Next.

When Apple purchased the company, the Dock also came with it and found a place in Macs. Even though it changed its position from side (in patent) to the bottom (in Mac), the functions still remain the same.   

#1 Onscreen Keyboard

Before releasing the iPhone, Apple had the idea of an onscreen keyboard, which is controlled by a clickwheel. Just like the old dial phones, spin the wheel to select number or letter and click on the centre to select! Fortunately, the touchscreen prevailed and thereby we got a beautiful iPhone with most of its screen covered in glass, rather than a bizarre wheel.
