Has anyone else noticed how Cook has basically been axing perfectly good features/effects that Jobs made which should have been preserved? Like on safari when web pages loaded you would get a blue effect covering the entire address bar until the web page loaded. Now its a blue (or any other color in Catalina) line, a little blue line which is so much less satisfying than the whole address bar going blue or some other color. Also the tabs in the new safari are just blocks whereas the tabs Jobs left behind actually looked like tabs like real tabs in actual physical files and folders. Each one was distinct from the other one, they didn't run into each other like they do now. Cook has very bad design sense compared to Jobs. I could go on and on. If my MacBook Air hard drive was larger I would partition it and run a Lion or Mountain Lion on it just so I could see how great things looked on that compared to today's "macOS (what was wrong with Mac OS?)"
Does anyone else miss these things from the past? Like even the iPhone's size is ridiculous these days, its too big. I don't want a display so big the phone doesn't fit in my hand. I have large hands but the iPhone 5 onward iPhones have been ridiculously huge. I'm thinking of buying an iPhone 4s and like running iOS 12 or 11 whatever the latest is that runs on it. And don't get me started on the iOS changes like the 2D dock (compared to 3D dock in iOS 5/6) and the star on iTunes Store and the new meaningless A on the App Store icon. I could go on and on. I'm really holding back. Just want to ask is there anyone else who thinks the new guy is just taking a dump on the old guy's work? I don't think simply adding "Pro" to every product is innovation. Jobs said Cook wasn't a product person and he clearly isn't.
I haven't even mentioned the ******ness of the changes in Mac OS like the icons are just too bright and gaudy not low key/easy on the eyes like the previous icons in 10.7/10.8. The launchpad icon was so beautiful with the metallic finish on it now it looks just like grey plastic, 2d and nothing special. The bezels are gone from the safari icon and so is the North south east west, the dock is 2D which sucks so I got cDock which allows you to make the dock 2d again. its good but not as good as the 3d dock Jobs made still better than the default 2d dock. Its the little things that make a difference. I even miss the older more creative bulb in energy saver in settings. I know things have to change and evolve but not like this. This is making what was already there worse and devolution not evolution. Anyone else see what I see?
The traffic lights (close, minimize, maximize) used to be 3D and had some cool lighting effects making them look like actual traffic lights now its just plain, bland, pungent 2d colors which really suck.
I have gone from Catalina to High Sierra just because I like iTunes (didn't find it bloated), Cover Flow (in Finder), Dashboard (although its no longer being supported by Apple so weather widgets don't work). If anyone has noticed the internet radio stations that were categorized by genre were removed at some point by "the genius who took Apple to the next level" which also sucks because it was really good radio stations. Even cover flow in iTunes was removed which again is a hugely bad thing for me and others who liked that sort of thing. The iPads do we really need so many iPads? Isn't one iPad enough. Just keep making it lighter/better instead of releasing minis that are too small and Pros that are too heavy. The home buttons on the new iPads aren't curved to fit the user's thumb/fingers like the older one was (pic attached).
The MacBook Pro used to come in three versions 13", 15" and 17" with option of glossy or anti glare screen. That was sensible! Now, you only get the glossy screen option and just two sizes 13" and 16". It just doesn't make as much sense as it used to. Who needs these glossy displays? Give the damn customer options.
Cook's kooky cookery is gross and ugly.
