Adam Engst will examine Apple’s redesign of the iOS 26 Phone app, focusing on the differences between the traditional Classic view and the new Unified view. He will compare how each approach handles core tasks such as accessing favorites, recent calls, voicemail, and call filtering, highlighting the usability trade-offs in Apple’s attempt to simplify the interface. He will also explore how differences between the views lead to subtle behavioral changes—such as reduced accidental dialing and reorganized navigation—that affect everyday use. The talk will help users evaluate which view better fits their habits and expectations.
