So you can buy a nano textured screen on some devices... to have to OS introduce reflections??? Hahahah
I actually have fond memories of 2007 design... back when buttons looked like buttons.
Flat design simplified things and also made it harder for a lot of people to work out what to do.
The design pendulum was always going to swing back into fashion at some stage.
This looks nothing like Windows Vista.
I know right. I remember having all these new features and aesthetics on my iPhone X
I just did LASIK, and the picture used in the original post makes me think of nothing but a corneal flap.
For all the haters, the look of the UI (not necessarily the UI elements itself) is probably the single thing where I trust Apple the most to do the right thing. I have consistently liked the look of the UI of every single Apple product I have been aware of. But people are resistant to change. iOS 7 did look strange at first, but at the time of iOS 8, I got my hands on an iOS 6 device, and it looked like something from the Stone Age. I have sometimes rejected the look at first glance, but some months in I always end up liking it.
Bring it on, haters.
Edit: Oh, and by the way, strap in for the usual progression of Apple taking it too far in the betas, and rolling back in the final product.

Waiting for the 💩storm starting right after the presentation on WWDC. Remember when the current design was released originally. It needed several years and tweaks to get where it is now. Skeuomorphic
design felt old and outdated and it was time for a refresh.
But Apple reached its goal already. No one is talking about Apple AI anymore, the news concentrate on a may BS design approach from Apple with transparency, glass, blur and roundness. More roundness!!!

More interested in new features and not window dressing. Apple has not completed previous promises.
I am afraid that this redesign will be even worse than the redesign from iOS 6 to iOS 7.
It will, but the question increasingly is whether those changes will occur in the latest iOS/iPadOS.
Apple needs to force devs to make sets of icons for each app so you can have a more cohesive look without jailbreaking.
iOS was absolute dog **** prior to iOS 7. It was so ugly.
"You can tell it's a note app because it looks like a note... DERRRP"
If the new full screen Siri and rainbow Apple intelligence design is anything to go by, Apple may be indeed be going towards more garish designs. Also besides the shape, there’s no rumours on fully redesigned icons which is what’s needed after so many years.
Keep in mind that features need to target the broader user base. How many people would plug their phone into a display? AirPlay already does that.
I travel for work and sure some places do have tvs with airplay but the majority of places do not. And so i still need to plug in my device with hdmi. But currently you will see black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
The iPad Pro at the beginning also didnt have true display support. Even had the black bars on the side of the screen. But two years after its introduction, it got the full support. It was possible back then, so it should be possible now… no need to put in new hardware or even work on a software, just use the string of code they used for the ipad. Done!
Probably more emojis, because we all know those make for a brilliant OS.
