One the most interesting changes in the IOS beta are a radical redesign of the Safari interface to place the URL bar at the bottom of the page and CRAM the usual browser navigation tools. As I could expect, this has been a controversial change.
But the last developer of IOS 15 Beta 6 has retreated these Safari changes to a degree, and even allows you to restart the web address bar to the top of the screen. MacStories EIC Federico Viticci tweeted an image that shows the new Safari distribution:
We did it to all: Safari in IOS 15 Beta 6 presents a new address bar at the bottom below the content of the page. A toolbar with buttons is back.
IOS beta 6 Add the Safari gray background navigation bar to the bottom, and the URL bar sticks to the bottom by default, although there is an option to place it at the top of the screen, as usual , since the MacRumors Sami Fathi reporter confirmed in a pity. Instead of the URL bar that floats above a web page (and disappearing while traveling), the new design has the web address in a white field on a gray background, with other white fields that appear from other sides, They look a lot like the clean eyelash that comes in iPados 15.
While this is only in the newly launched IOS Beta 6 for developers, it is possible that the function is also in updating the 15 beta 6 iPada developer, which was available at the same time. In addition, this feature is debuting in the beta developer, which obtains the first new settings, may not have come in the public beta version for some time.
IOS 15 beta: Safari Safe finally finally?
While the Safari redesign was one of the various new changes in the Beta of IOS 15 that have reached so far, it has been the most Jarring. Apple clearly wants to place the URL bar closer to the user’s thumbs, but it was used to get used, especially that it float above a page and disappear / reappear while traveling.
The reaction to redesign is not unexpected, but it shows how burning users are about consistency in their IU. The Safari version of Walk in IOS 15 Beta 6 for developers feels like simply return to the design in iOS 14, but at least gives users the opportunity to test the URL bar at the bottom and move incrementally More controls near the bottom. (As did with Apple Maps instructions).
Since it is a beta, there is no guarantee that Apple uses one version or another, although it certainly seems that the company listened to beta users who do not stick to their floating URL bar idea. We will see if that radical redesign makes a reappearance in subsequent Beta versions, since we anticipate the full version of IOS 15 in September.
