#62It will be hilarious if Apple's telemetry shows that most people go out of their way to disable this in the Accessibility settings.

#63I know people hate this but it shows a huge problem: innovation in operating system design. It's really a tough one. You really want the basic functionality to be very stable and unchanging to save yourself and others incompatibility pain over the next decades. OTOH, you need to release a new OS every now and again to show the markets that you are doing something. So they did a cosmetic upgrade like changing the grap…
It's why Linux with a sane WM has become the most pleasant client OS almost by default.

#64This is something I posted on Threads yesterday, but this kind of thing comes up every WWDC and every September. > It’s WWDC week. Every time this rolls around, I see people saying the same sort of thing. “Steve Jobs wouldn’t have done this”. > Firstly, Jobs wasn’t perfect. He got a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. His opinion wasn’t the end of the argument when he was alive, and it’s certainly not now…
The folks saying "Steve Jobs wouldn't have done this" didn't know him at all and have no idea what he would do - They just want their opinion to have some form of validation because they feel that no one will give it to them otherwise. Additionally, the dude's dead because he refused chemo. He wasn't a genius saint.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
react nataive gets some design refreshes for free. its native.
But not these, afaik. RN only supports basic view types and composes them into controls. But these offer complete distinct controls. Using these in RN is possible, but usually via iOS-only plugins
A < Glass $gt; component that's an empty container everywhere else, except on iOS it a glass.

IMHO the next actual OS design innovation isnt stylistic, its AI integration and everyone knows it.
Siri was a fun toy, but "Siri except not an idiot" is a revolutionary step, and how to tastefully integrate her is an interesting, challenging, and active problem with tremendous upside. I know enterprise moves slow but do they need Open AI and others to build a fully functioning alternative OS before they wake up?
Re: Steve Jobs would have fired everyone
#67The "it would have been different under Steve Jobs" trope is coming up every so often when Apple introduces a radical new feature. Oftentimes I don't agree but in this case I absolutely do. A huge amount of engineering to get these shader effects right, but the outcome will be that the platforms will look more like a fruit salad and less coherent. Companies that invested in React Native, Flutter, Tauri, or alternativ…
I think this will lead to many apps looking out of place which worsens the overall experience.

#68Why does it say Tesla at the top?

#69The kind Vladimir Illych would have shot everyone here.

#70I can't get over this from Apple specifically, I offer joke about how UI/UX designers just make work for themselves but here someone was missing to call these things out. The rounded edges are all a hodgepodge, the different levels of transparency is uncomfortable and the overall lack of coherence is really bad..
it's incredibly bad in every way and people defending it are completely out of touch
