Love the 3D. Would actually love a 3D display on iPhones. It's going to happen eventually. I seriously don't get the anti-3D mentality. People are no fun.
Got a tip for us?

I guess I'm in the minority that really likes the icon. I love the depth and showdows. Maybe we dont need to go back to the realism look of old iOS, but some depth and character is a welcome comeback. I cannot wait to get new icons for iOS.
So they let the intern use inner shadow on Photoshop on the old logo 🤦🏻♂️
Gradients in design can look really nice if they’re considered and executed will. These just look like cheap versions of icons circa iOS 7.

I don't mind the shadows, but my issue is this logo lost its meaning when Apple removed the pencil/brush/ruler that formed the "A". Now it just looks like shadows-on-top-of-shadows with the weird gaps. It would look so much better with 3 straight lines forming the A.
Lol that’s like me finally learning to tolerate and even appreciate disco...in 1982. 😆
Oh no… they're trying to bring embossing back. This pendulum of flatness to dimensionality is quite confounding.
What I hope is coming next is a translucent rainbow interface. Iridescent, not ultra gaudy but that features a mix of solid whites and blacks along with borders. Kind of an even more interface-less design. I've always thought it'd be cool if you turned the phone, the image could change like a holographic effect. And there could be a way to hold the phone to turn that functionality off and "lock" to a certain interface view. Right now, the swipe function is way too frequent.

Luckily that boring flat style is getting out of date and we’re going back to have more complex visual styles with shading, transparency effects etcetera.
I like it. Just 3D enough to feel interesting but not overwhelmingly skeuomorphic like pre-iOS 6. Hope more iOS icon follows this trend.
eh, there’s always a few years of transition when Apple switches icon styles. I remember some of the older iOS 6 style icons sticking around as late as iOS 8 or 9.
