Issues with Mobile Native controls

Well, looking at my iPhone, there are many many designs for apps, but there are very often (OK, not always) tidy little icons which lead to settings/preferences or give information, or make it clear that you can close something. I don’t know if my finger uses them as buttons exactly, but I find the idea of touching one to make something happen to be perfectly intuitive. And nearly always these are unclunky little objects taking up a minimum of screen real estate. I would like there to be a library of such things, and hoped they’d be SVGs. Still hoping.

To make such a subtle distinction (graphically) between a "touch link" and  "label" gets you nothing but N number of people not clinking!
