I don't know about the UI or anything but it's 2016 and iTunes still makes me re-download any firmware from start in case of any network issue. So if you are downloading a 2.5 gigs file and that screws up even once in that whole download at any place, iTunes says fuck you. This becomes a problem when they screw up iOS 10 update and brick your iPhone and the only way to fix it is restoring from iTunes and then iTunes keeps giving you the middle finger.

Not only that, when I had to re-download the firmware due to the failed iOS10 update, even pausing the download caused it to restart..

  And interesting if it's downloading some purchased content from the iTunes Store, this doesn't happen. Also, those downloads don't throw a modal dialog when it's trying to "contact the server". It just seems like downloading firmware doesn't reuse existing code for downloading content.
