MacRumors reports that Apple will be switching the functioning of the iPad’s orientation lock switch to a mute switch.
Why Apple? Why?
If I want to mute my iPad I can simply hold down the volume key. That’s why the iPad has a physical volume key.
I guess they really want to streamline and standardize their iOS devices. So this leads me to wonder whether or not the next generation iPad will even have the orientation lock/mute switch. iPhone 4 doesn’t have one.
Then again, it just sort of makes sense for there to be a screen orientation lock switch on the iPad. The device is bigger and it would seem a little less practical to need to double click the home button just to be able to lock the screen orientation (like you do on the iPhone).
Leave it alone, Steve.
