The back button's presence or lack thereof, Can have an effect on interfaces, as you know. Take eBay's app for example, on iPhone and Android too, Where a back button is in the top left corner view. On Android though there's a menu button instead, Which opens up more room to add a left slide interface instead. But on iPhones this isn't possible due to the lack of a back option, Limiting what can be done with the app in motion. It's an important factor to consider when designing apps that work well, For different platforms so users don't feel like they're in some kind of hell. Having different interfaces for different devices is something that must be done right, So users can navigate through your app without any fights. No matter what device they use they should have no issue finding their way around, And if it's not designed properly then you'll hear people making sounds!
