The rule also mandates universal Bluetooth standards and volume control compliance for all smartphones.

    “We”.

    Try being autistic and not disabled and using smartphones with sweaty hands and tired eyes. And modern UI design in general.

    I’ve been dreaming of a certain legislation for PC user interfaces and the Web since 10 years ago ; in essence that would mandate that everything governmental and commercial should be usable for blind people (because with modern UI\UX I want to close my eyes and pretend I’m blind) with screen readers and Braille terminals.

    That legislation would absolutely kill what clueless crowds call “user-friendly UIs”, and I would be happy and gleeful, because it wouldn’t kill UIs following good old industrial ergonomics.

    It would, of course, present a lot of challenges for such a transition.

      So you want to severely inconvenience the vast majority of people for your own personal gain?

      Surely there is a better compromise

        That’s what they do with walkways, is it not?
