Major 🔑s to iOS design
summary
Promised takeaway: start with actual API responses and real photos not lorem ipsum, sketch on paper, then prototype on-device to reveal cramped text and cut names. Tools mentioned: Sketch and Craft for injecting JSON, Google Forms to collect test data, export 1x/2x/3x assets or use PDFs/vectors. Case studies compare airline and fitness apps to show when custom controls help and when they confuse. Build an ugly, data‑filled prototype quickly and measure whether the interaction actually works.
