One feature Apple must copy from BlackBerry OS 10
Do you own a BlackBerry? Of course you don't.
Nobody's owned a BlackBerry since 2009 or so, but despite that I decided to
pick up the BlackBerry Classic to replace my HTC One M8 as my non-iOS phone and I actually don't hate it.
With
its multitouch screen it's a lot like a cross between iOS and Android, but it
happens to have a feature than neither of those two much more popular options
have out of the box, and I love it. I was sorting the bounty of stock apps that
came on the device when I realized I had create two folders by accident.If I were on my iPhone, correcting this mistake would mean taking all the apps out of one folder and putting them into the other one, one at a time. I was prepared to do just that, but first I decided to just toss one of the folder icons on top of the other, expecting it to push the other folder out of the way and leave both folders intact -- as it would on iOS and Android. To my astonishment, BlackBerry OS 10 has a built-in "Merge Folders" feature.
How
on earth does BlackBerry -- the company that is literally gasping for breath
while Apple and Google casually erase them from the history books -- have a
better handle on app management than its competitors? Apple, it's time to fix
this.
