Jobs-era iOS and the Mac had all close buttons on the left. Jony Ive–era started moving the close buttons to the right. Today’s Liquid Glass iOS has moved about a third of the close buttons back to the left but some are still on the right. Sloppy!

In the screenshot you can see how the photo edit cropping interface has the close button on the left (the white area), but then the weather app still has it on the right (which used to be on the left in earlier iOS iterations about 15 years ago).

The design reasoning for it being on the left:

It’s distinctly Apple (Microsoft is on the right).
We read from Left → Right.
Back → Next.
Small → Big.
Negative → Positive.
Off → On.
Cancel → OK.
Close → Open.

The close button on the right came from Windows to avoid being too similar to Macintosh. Then people got used to it, even though it’s backwards. Android has a “Windows-y” feel to it and has also done the close button on the right.

Early iOS had close or “Back” on the left.

More inconsistencies.

Stocks app: close is correctly on the left.
Weather app: close is incorrectly on the right.
