Apple UI Design Chief Alan Dye Leaving for Meta

[Astuces iOS]

Why is everyone from Apple leaving all of a sudden lol

They love the samsung 3 fold flip flap

 

[cjsuk]

Ok so that's Ive and this guy gone and Tim going soon.

 

[filmantopia]

Employees leaving left and right, Tim when will the mass exodus end?

BREAKING: Tim Cook leaves Apple for OpenAI

 

[JaydenA]

In terms of Liquid Ass, I hope the last thing he does before handing in his security badge is

git reset --hard IOS18

Divisive theme packs should be from the store, not baked into the OS.

BREAKING: Tim Cook leaves Apple for OpenAI

No AI company would want Cook!

 

[257Loner]

My Mac apps are already squircular—will Alan Dye’s successor Stephen Lemay bring old-style apps back?

Cancel Liquid Glass?

 

[Pitogyro]

One company's trash is another company's treasure.

Employees leaving doesn’t always means trouble or doom and gloom for a corporation, it could also mean fresh minds join the company to catapult it from the comfortable.

true, but in this case he’s being replaced by a guy who’s been there for 25 years.

 

[Harvey Zoltan]

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. I have never been entirely convinced by Dye's work. Apple can do better.

 

[rishey]

Bye, Felicia!

 

[porkflyingfish]

Did he remove the launchpad button from the keyboard and also remove the launchpad in macOS 26? 

I’m not a fan of either.

 

[LiquidGlassfan]

Alan has an amazing voice, like that guy who introduced iPhone Air(he left too)

 

[Permanent Sigh]

Going to meta seems like he’s being punished 😂

 

[Wx_Man]

If the exodus of Apple employees to Meta continues Ol’ Zuck is going to have to adopt a new “fruitier” company logo.

 

[loyalraccoon]

Transitioned? Come on! They MOVED. Sounds like an AI article.

 

[Donkey Man]

The arsonist has left the crime scene...

Given Apple’s current disastrous state of UI, probably all the design work is being done by interns anyway…

 

[19callum93]

What is going on behind the scenes at Apple? Do many talented employees are leaving.

 

[Aftershok]

I thought the rumors of Tim Cook's role change was good news, but that’s nothing compared to this! Hallelujah!

 

[19callum93]

No complaints from me. The less Liquid Glass the better. IMO

I want MORE Liquid Glass.

 

[Starfia]

I don't hate liquid glass, but ever since the first beta I was like "are they gonna tweak this or..." I currently have the frosted option turned on my Mac mini and iPhone since it's more readable.

About right. After so much Apple-related drama, I was ready for tasteful refinement, but not another round of internal overzealousness from which there seemed no subsequent step but to dial back after a minimum of a year.

 

[Devyn89]

Dang that sucks. I liked his designs. Also, it seems like Meta is slowly taking everyone at Apple.

 

[TMRJIJ]

Meta might be getting serious with their hardware. How many people did they poach from Apple, Google, and Microsoft this year?

 

[antiprotest]

And we feel like victims of a massive hit and run. I hope Apple will recover from recent UI disasters in the coming years. But I don't think they will.

 

[BigJohno]

Dude takes a dump on the UI then leave right after it’s launched. Wow.

 

[fonzy91]

Damn, so many haters lol Liquid Glass looks so beautiful and 'lickable' like Steve Jobs wanted Aqua to be back in like 2001. Legibility needs some tweaks in some places but still. Anyway, people rotate through companies, new people = new ideas!
