1. Is it important to breathe lightly?
Breathing light on the mobile phone is a great design. Simply put, the vibration of the bright screen and the ringing of the mobile phone are strong notifications, while the message notification in breathing light is weak notification. Breathing light's function is not so much a notice as a reminder. For example, when the mobile phone is placed on the table, the flashing of breathing light can remind us.
Breathing light's role is beyond doubt. Many people are used to the existence of breathing light. For some people, you don't need a bright screen to judge what kind of information your mobile phone has received, whether it is a missed call or a short message. And breathing light's power consumption is extremely low, so it won't consume too many resources of your mobile phone. And the reasonable decoration of breathing light can also increase the beauty of your mobile phone.
But then again, due to the increasing functions of mobile phones, telephone calls, text messages, emails and notifications are extremely frequent. Spam messages and harassing phone calls sometimes trigger breathing light, which makes us have to light up the mobile phone screen, which makes us very annoyed, really annoyed.
In addition, when it comes to practicality, many friends may think that breathing light's practicality is not too high, because many people may always keep their mobile phones in their pockets when not in use, and when they take them out for use, breathing light's role will not be so obvious.
2. Why doesn't 2.iPhone have breathing light?
From the above, we can see that breathing light has advantages and disadvantages, but users' comments outweigh the disadvantages. As far as reality is concerned, many high-end Android phones will be equipped with breathing light, and even some WP phones have begun to join this function. Then why is the iPhone indifferent?
In fact, this is a cliche. Apple doesn't have many things. This is because Apple's hardware and software are closed, which depends on Apple itself. There may not be flash just because Jobs thought users didn't need it at first.
Apple is different from Amdo. Many times, Apple will regulate users' habits. In addition, the iOS system of Apple iPhone is different from the open source system of Android. Sometimes some patent problems are circumvented. If you don't use it, you may be afraid of touching some patent problems or technical problems to avoid conflicts with the incoming flash.
Of course, it may also be Apple's next big move. Cook has been following Joe's legacy and slowly adding some features to the new iPhone to create new selling points. This idea is not unreasonable. With the functions of breathing light, calling place, nine squares, theme change and so on, it can become the new selling point of iPhone7/8/9.
