One word : Gestures.

We can think of things like slide to unlock but much more importantly scrolling. If something shows more the mastery of the iphone UX of that time it is definitely scrolling, who categories it as gesture now? It's completely normalized, on all other Platform of that time, you had to play with arrows and the scroll bar. Now every platform has it.




Ah very good. Yes, I agree. Simple things like a scroll bar in a browser window right? I remember how difficult it was to tap that small little icon on the lower right corner of the screen. They simple copied mouse behavior onto the phones. And Apple that this out from a 0-level perspective. Thanks for the insight!
