Hopefully getting a true UX practitioner in as Head of Design will help avoid these incredibly obvious usability issues.

"OMG this one thing doesn't work in macOS, looks like 2026 wont be the year of the macOS desktop!"

Maybe you didn’t catch this yet, but Apple pulled their latest iOS 18.7.3 update and they seem to only promote iOS 26 now. They really want everyone off iOS 18 :/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2026/01/07/hundreds-...
You can sign up for Apple beta and keep doing iOS 18 updates.
Not anymore. Tried this but the pulled 18.7.3 for beta upgrades too.

#834Not upgrading my personal iphone/macbook and I wish I didn’t upgrade my work iphone/macbook (unfortunately I had to)
For the first time in 15 years I am considering to not buy apple as my next phone/laptop regardless of the specs.

I'm not sure "it works this way in Application A, and this other way in Application B" is a particularly strong rebuttal.
It wasn't meant as a rebuttal. Just as a point of thought: By showing that at least one application doesn't exhibit the problem, I thought I was showing that the problem might not be related to the Tahoe redesign at all but might have other causes. It definitely serves to prove that this is not a design-issue but just a simple bug and thus has at least some chance of being fixed. FWIW, I cannot reproduce the issue de…

“As much as I like to *” is a common way to start a rebuttal (the subsequent “I’m not going to see/do that” is implied by that turn of phrase).
> but I thought that listing a very commonly used application alone would be enough to challenge the article's assertion
So it was a rebuttal? Why the disingenuous doublethink?

Not to beat on my own drum but as a mac convert from the days of Tiger I saw the writing on the wall from miles away. Still on iOS 18 and macOS 15 (Sequoia). I was a day one upgrader up until now, never had any regrets but this time things seemed very different. It's worrisome but all is not lost, I'll start sweating for real if next year's releases don't improve things substantially.
My phone updated on me and yesterday it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to listen to my voice mail. Like seriously, how do we go from clicking on the name calling to clicking on the name to see the voicemail left by that specific caller and no others
You can tap on the filter button (three stacked horizontal lines of decreasing length) and select the "Voicemails" filter to view them all.

Windows also used to have a "grip" indicator. Nowadays I only see this in resziable textboxes in browsers...
To be fair, this grip indicator only (and still) exists when the window has a status bar. It's part of the Windows status bar design, not of the window design. Of course, many more applications used to have status bars than they do now, so that's why you see it less often.
What's up with that, anyway? Statusbars are great. They are one of the most useful parts of the window.

One of the most annoying things after installing Tahoe for me, that for no good reason an ordinary app would randomly lose its focus. In the midst of my typing. This is unbelievably preposterous and I just can't stop hating Apple for this crap. How the fuck this is acceptable? I just have no words. What makes it even worse that I couldn't even complain about it on their support pages - they just keep removing my comm…
The support pages are not for you to contact Apple. They are there for users to help other users. The cynical person would say they are there to get unpaid labor from other users so Apple can spend less on support. If you want to report something to Apple you use the "Feedback Assistant App"
This is starting to make sense. In the past I've been confused at a seemingly useful question thread there and the answer from some other user there with some like "top support user" badge or something, is just not an answer at all, and then the thread gets locked because they deemed it resolved.

#839What does it take for a megacorp to admit a mistake and correct it???
I think it all boils down to this one question. It’s not complicated.

#840Modern interfaces are digging a bigger and bigger gap between UI and UX, while UI-UX is actually a balancing act. Let's face it, new glass UI is stunning - not for everyone's taste, like everything in art - but it has the Wow effect. Fresh look, transparency, new colors, wow! Same goes to many, not all, web sites, apps, etc. On the UX side, with some exceptions, it is a disaster, though. Why on Earth would I want an…
But is it really stunning? When we first got Aqua and Vista they were stunning because nobody had seen anything like that before. But Liquid Glass isn’t really new in that sense. It’s just some transparency with background blur which anyone who’s used, say, Windows 7, has already seen.
