The Evolution of Touchscreen Phones and Minimalist Design

The Evolution of Touchscreen Phones

When Apple revolutionized the concept of touchscreen phones, there were actually many companies that had experimented with this idea before. For instance, Microsoft brought numerous phone models to life with its operating system called Windows Mobile for many years. However, none of these models had an impact as great as Apple’s iPhone.

Behind the success of the iPhone, Apple’s impressive design policy that filled touchscreen phones with colorful application icons played a significant role. This flashy interface that captured users’ attention allowed the phones to appear more modern and attractive. However, users with a minimalist aesthetic were not forgotten. In this regard, Android applications that offer minimalist designs continue to be developed. On the other hand, since Apple does not allow developers to intervene in the interface, developers are unable to offer customized solutions for iPhone screens.

However, a group of developers managed to push the boundaries of the iPhone’s Widget feature by creating a kind of “home screen” simulation on the main screen. This application operates in two different modes – dark and light – allowing users to have a black or white minimalist iPhone screen. If you have friends around you who boast about their vibrant and colorful iPhone screens, you can surprise them with this extraordinary minimalist screen.

The application called Dumb Phone can be downloaded for free from the App Store. This application offers a widget that contains the most frequently used applications for users. Since the widget occupies the entire screen, it practically gives your phone a new home screen. This widget, where you can find a list of the most used applications, makes the user experience quite simple and effective.

You can start by trying the one-week free version of the application. The paid version options include $2.99 per month, $9.99 per year, or $24.99 for a lifetime.
