On the new Apple software design
Before the WWDC event yesterday, the internet was buzzing with rumors that Apple might bring back skeuomorphism, and many people, myself included, rejoiced. Instead what we got was a weird Windows Vista, but somehow with worse readability. It's like the designers closed themselves off into a private room and heavily masturbated to the most shiny design candy they could think of, completely disregarding decades of UX design work and research.
Needless to say, I've been looking to go away from Apple for a while now, mainly because I have a 1.2 thousand EUR phone which does the exact same things a 400 EUR phone does. I have no use for it being Titanium, which I put in a case anyway, or its massively inferior AI, or its action button. I just want something that can browse the web, use some apps, take photos and make calls, and for the price of my iPhone, I can buy 3 Pixel 9a's, and so I did just that, I bought a Pixel 9a.
