You're kidding, right? You're calling that beautiful and elegant‽ Even at the time I thought that was one of the weaker elements of the interface! It was always such a clunky intrusion. I'm glad that's been improved, though there is still room for more improvement
It was functional, intuitive and made sense. That goes in the direction of "It Just Works".
It’s a transition animation. It’s not supposed to be stopped mid-transition. Many transition animations used for years also look bad if similarly stopped mid-transition.
And there's the rub.
Yes, that’s my opinion, as I said. 👍🏻
Yep, exactly. 👍🏻. We all have different preferences and tastes. And they’re subjective, so there’s no one correct preference or taste when it comes to stuff like this. 👍🏻
False, I never said “everything is subjective”. I said people’s preferences on matters like this are subjective…. And it has nothing to do with being “politically correct”, it’s just incredibly obvious that such opinions are subjective and not universal truths…
Both are actually subjective.
The things you list here aren’t objective factors… Usability for example. This will depend on what the user is using it for. A spoon is very useful for ladling food, but not stabbing meat…. Usability largely depends on the end user’s needs and preferences. Say someone wants/needs an app that’s Android only, then iOS won’t have good “usability” for them, because it’s missing something they want/need.
Again, it’s your opinion that Liquid Glass “increases friction”, etc. It is not an opinion that is universally shared… It is merely your opinion, not a universal truth…
False. Nobody’s stopping anyone from criticizing designs. The problem lies when people try to claim their subjective opinions about said designs are “universal truths”, or “objective facts”. You can criticize designs all you like, it doesn’t mean your opinion/perspective is the only valid/correct one… One person might love Van Gough’s art, while another might hate it and criticize it. Both are valid preferences.
Again, it’s only your opinion that the new design is “crap”… I think the old screenshot (which I don’t think is Notification Center, looks like the weather app) looks like crap and is ugly, and the new design looks beautiful and visually appealing. And the picture you include of Liquid Glass is not accurate of what it actually looks like, notification cards have more background contrast. That’s probably from the early betas. But it is not accurate of the actual look of the Liquid Glass Notification Center.
there's just a group of people here who become enraged (or just indignant) when someone disagrees with their observations or opinions. i find it entertaining (at best) and exhausting (mostly) 🤣
And the inverse would also work: you know what, some people just attack whatever Apple does.
I get that, I don’t have an iPhone SE, so perhaps the experience is a bit different on those phones. A family member of mine has an SE3, and they haven’t complained about legibility or anything. But I think that’s just going to largely depend on the person. There’s a reason Apple includes customization features for things like text size, increased contrast, etc. Different people have different preferences and needs. 🙂👍🏻
It looks fine to me. 🤷🏼♂️. The playback control bar is finally where it is in basically every other media player on every other platform… 👍🏻
and some people have opinions that are different than yours. 🤷
I believe the point is how the transparency adds nothing but comic, child-like aesthetics, but hey - maybe that's what people prefer 🤷♂️
