I hope for a return to a natural or adult color scheme, no more disco cartoon colors.
Literally couldn’t not watch this video past the halfway point because he was so obnoxious. And it was trying making it that far.
His jokes, attitude, and overall demeanor are like nails on a chalkboard. I’ve always seen the complaints about him, but never really listened to him before this video. ☠️
I found him funny for a hot minute many, many, many moons ago. It did not last long though. It is not just him. I don't even bother going onto YouTube much anymore because everything I watched on there (with the exception of music) got stale very fast.
I don’t care a lot about the color scheme, but I would appreciate if they made UI controls more clearly discernible as such again (compared to, say, mere text labels), like they were before iOS 7, and also more uniform in general.
That home-screen looks kind of ugly. I really hope it looks more like Vision OS in the final release.
Glassmorphism is yet another type of flat design. Flat design was one of the worst things to ever happen to the GUI, but Tim Cook is too much of a dimwit to realize that. Dim Tim has no taste, which is why he allowed Jony Ive to copy the Microsoft-pioneered monstrosity known as flat design. Apple should rehire Scott Forstall and go back to the exact same skeumorphic design that was used in iOS 6.
A third of MacRumors users seem to believe Gurman, a third believe Prosser, a third don't believe either one, and the last third don't know what to believe and are fairly content to wait.
This guy gets it!
Apple had absolutely BEAUTIFUL design back then, and just destroyed everything good about the way iOS looked.
Nothing I've seen out of this supposed "redesign" is in any way an improvement. It doesn't fix flat. It doesn't make you want to use the device. It makes looking at it something to put up with.
Yes, what everyone wants is iOS Vista. I'm looking forward to this being completely wrong, but preparing for disappointment.
Just so long as there is a setting in Accessibility to turn off the transparency they can introduce whatever glassy junk they want to waste their money on.
Then that's one of the ones he confusingly made up and put in the thumbnail. I'm not one of the ones constantly going on about Prosser but I kind of wish he'd just pick a lane. Best thing he's done lately in my opinion was that WWDC parody video. He seems better at parody than actual leaks. I think Apple has burned a lot of his sources.
Whatever fill fix dark mode which looks messy in some places, both on phone and mac, will be welcomed.
