>>105614039>In fact I've come to the conclusion that this should have been the logical continuation of UI design after Fruitiger Aero, shader oriented rendering.Had it not been for Windows/Android, it definitely would have been. The problem with Vista wasn't only that it was demanding on anything other than premium spec PCs but also because Vista came preinstalled on plenty of different OEM computers (Vista Capable) which of course the OEM or Microsoft wouldn't properly QA for. This led to lawsuits and Win7 was clearly just a rushed release to fix Vista before they shifted to the far more performant Metro design introduced in Win8. The harmony between hardware and software is Apple's key advantage, which they haphazardly neglected when Forstall was replaced by Jony Ive. By 2013, Apple were already late to adopt flatshit and by the time iOS 7 rolled out, flatshit was the norm. Now that Apple have their own M/A chips across the board they can properly QA this UI redesign to make sure it isn't sluggish on their devices.
If anything this design is an incredibly smart move by Apple because if Windows/Android doesn't move past flatshit, they will look incredibly dated especially in contrast to the third party apps which are being redesigned to fit the new design trends. If they do, then it's another Vista situation waiting to happen because some Androids run on cheap shitty MediaTek processors and some Windows computers can't even run W11's transparency effects without shitting themselves.
Google's Material Design 3 already looks dated and people are shitting on it. Windows 11's adoption rate is the worst of any Windows in generations and 10 goes EOL this year. Liquid Glass will kill flatshit once and for all, the assblasting will be so spectacular we won't see even a hint of until at least next century.
