Disabled state
A component that is visible but can't be used right now, usually shown greyed out.
Definition
A disabled control tells the user an action exists but isn't available yet, for example until a form is complete. It must look clearly disabled, ignore taps and keyboard input, and ideally make it obvious what's needed to enable it.
In practice
The "Continue" button stays disabled until the user accepts the terms. A classic bug: the button looks grey but still submits the form when tapped.
