Did they seriously backpedal this fast, or is it a meme?

They couldn't figure out shadowed text?

the bigger puzzle is why they thought it was good in the first place
it was immediately obvious how stupid it was

Still looks like W10

They should have made the icons themselves sculpted out of colored glass, rather than flat trash.

Apple, put me in the game coach, I'm ready to play.

>>105848904 (OP)
Yeah, it was fucking retarded to make it completely transparent to the background.

Good.
Frosted glass looks better on the iPhone.

>>105849924
tim cook was too busy snorting drugs out off the butt cracks of under age columbian boys on his boat and somehow the pajeets got loose in the design department.

A shitstorm and a hype cycle are indistinguishable nowadays and therefore both a positives for a company.
Remember le cyber truck shattered side window stunt?
We're living in an attention economy after all.

>>105848925
aero at least looked good

>>105848904 (OP)
they should just go back to light grey text on dark grey background or black text on light grey background, with rectangular input fields and buttons.
Fuck all this designer bullshit.

>>105848904 (OP)
both still look like dogshit.
wtf is this?

>>105850775
No. It never looked good.
>>105850809
This. I’m still mad at Microsoft for killing the classic UI with W10, but at least W10 default was a step into the right direction, but W11? Fuck that shit. Oh well, I’m dreading the day we’ll get “upgraded” at work. W10 already feels like I’m constantly fighting my fucking PC, W11 will probably be even worse.

Text was unreadable, it lacked contrast.
WCAG AAA tests require a minimum contrast of 7:1.
Liquid ass in beta 1 couldn't even reach the WCAG AA contrast requirements of 4.5:1.

>>105848904 (OP)
kek it's funny but I went through all the same iterations for my website.
it's as if they never even did focus groups to figure out the issues, they did do a lot of basic stuff like gradient blurs on top and changing color depending on background.

*cracks can open* *takes a sip* they don't make GUIs like they used to do I'll tell ya

>>105851130
They really don't

>>105851334
Holy shit I just realised that this must be one of the reasons why iToddlers hate the green bubble, it had great contrast up until the iOS 7 redesign.

>>105848904 (OP)
I liked this. If the end product is just gonna be more slightly transparent white backgrounds with a gaussian it is dead to me and can fuck off. Mobile software is painfully boring today, no one does anything new or exciting, just more flat design and literally every phone looks the same now. Everything is iphone. Look at the original iphone os and now look at every smartphone ever. They are all just iphones with an icon pack, this has not progressed in 15 years, smartphones peaked and are now about as interesting total about as microwaves and toasters. In fact fuck all smartphones, and they're stupid, mobile slot machines you don't even make calls with anymore

>>105848904 (OP)
what did we learn, kids? bullying works.

>>105851373
No, it will never be the same

>>105848904 (OP)
A whole year of researching gaussian blurs for that.

usually apple is more stubborn than that
regardless of how bad it is

>>105848904 (OP)
The thing about transparency that any UI designer should have learned a long time ago, is that it fucks with usability. Sometimes it can be a neat effect, but it almost always hurts usability.

>liquid saars

>>105848904 (OP)
so all those years of engeenering the light refraction went to the garbage? how are they going to justify this to their fanbase?

>>105851423
Green bubbles were fine in early iOS since it was the only bubble color before iOS 5 introduced iMessage. 7 fucked the colors really bad for MMS and it's stuck like that to this day.

It's really funny in a sad way how Accessibility settings have become the de facto workarounds for poor or malicious design choices in the last 10-15 years.

in a way, they are trying to pump their vr headsets.
it also stopped any talk about failed ai rollouts, a failed updated siri rollout, and how being in certain countries magically gets you more functionality on your ios device, and that functionality not being shared with the rest of the world.

I don’t really care about that I still think it’s retarded even if they had a “reason” if they’re gonna commit atleast give us a toggle

hope so. and it'd well deserved.

>>105852620
do you notice how windows blurs search libraries but still has a base white overlay it writes text on?

Does even work in AR/VR?
Transparent UIs only work in movies, because after about five minutes the wow-effect subsides and then it starts to suck because you cannot read shit.

Have you guys seen this interview where the interviewing whore tells Joz and Craig it looks like a wodka bottle design?

The shock on their faces was priceless. I am still chuckling. They didn't think of that.

>>105848904 (OP)
Why don't they just add a transparency slider and you can choose the amount you want?

>>105856240
The translucent effect actually works pretty well in VR.

>>105853723

>>105848904 (OP)
BUT THEY WORKED SO HARD FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are tweets from the design team saying they have been working for so long!!!!!

>>105848904 (OP)
ah so they found out what microshit found out 15 years ago

transparency + battery life = 0 battery life

there's a reason all that windows 8 shit and their tablet/windows mobile push back then was all flat colored boxes

>>105857247
They ran on computers that were plugged in

>>105857275
They managed to have transparent UI that was still easily readable and useable, why is Apple unable to do this?

>>105857254
it was the one indian guy saying how proud he is for designing it,
anyone has the tweet?

>>105857220
Steve Jobs already designed the perfect UIwhen he was with NeXT. You should give window maker a try.
The real mistake linux distros made was not adopting gnustep.

They actually should have different contrast levels by default otherwise colorblind people can’t tell what messages are going over iMessage and which ones are going over SMS/MMS/RCS
In that light it makes sense the shitty unencrypted protocols get the shaft

>>105857236
I will use minimalist flatshit before this abomination any day

>>105852620
notice how everything in the bottom image has a 1px outline to give it contrast on the blurry background. liquid ass would look much better if they just added outlines everywhere

>>105857192
Magical.

>>105848904 (OP)
So they're still doing the expensive refraction calculations but now you can barely see it. Genius

>>105857509
Microsoft used to have actual ui people but then again so did apple. the mac os even in 1 bit is beautiful and functional
the fact is all of this shit is a solved issue and it should not be changing. at this point in time the interface should be set in stone much like a car with only small changes for aesthetics.

You mean the modern cars which got rid of pretty much all buttons because buttons are ick despite being usable without having to look at them and not the street?

I literally can't tell what changed now. They wasted months of work because of some dumb faggots opinion on twitter.

>>105857553
There is change, and then there is a complete overhaul just weeks from feature freeze.

>>105857557
well yes you are correct cars are suffering the same fate.
the newest car i have driven is from 2015 and that still has buttons but yeah.
shit is fucked and i don't know how people have just forgotten the lessons of the past
