    I honestly don’t even know why I’m paying attention to Apple at this point, I think it’s like digging my nail into a freshly scarred-over cut, just to tease that sting out a bit. It’s the only way in which they have ever contributed to my feeling alive.

      I only “follow” because whatever Apple does gets broadcast by every media outlet in existence. Also Google started blindly following Apple design since they killed my beloved blob emojis.

        The blob emojis were one of their best features, that’s so true! I kid you not, every single time I’ve used Slack for work, for every single company which used it, someone had already uploaded the blobs! I really didn’t understand that move, the current Smile emoji looks psychotic.

        Did they? MD2 and MD3 look very different from Apple’s design languages

  i mean yes, but this is a more dynamic transperency that reacts more to backgrounds, merging/separating with other elements, etc.

    I mean… look, I’m genuinely not trying to be a sour asshole, but why did we need this? How is this furthering the development of smartphone tech? It’s, like… sure, pretty graphics are nice, but do we really need ray-tracing on our phones? (I know it’s not ray-tracing, but you get my point)

      It’s what happens when they run out of useful things to improve but still need to announce something to make people think they’re getting an upgrade.

      I don’t actually like this redesign tbh, but come on, people do care about design and UX.

      Nobody said we need pretty UX design, it’s just nice to have, and that’s fine. Not everything needs to be furthering the development of XYZ. Beauty is fine, aesthetics is fine.

      It’s just a UI update, you know, like literally every other OS does periodically?
