A lot of the time it seems like Apple just changes things on iOS just because, not because there's actually any tangible benefits to doing so. The UI changes for Messages iOS 10 is a perfect example - it feels cramped and complicated where it used to feel intuitive and easy to use.
- cocktailpeanuts 10y agoI think this time it's different. In the past it may have been true. That's why a lot of people hated iOS7 just because it was different. But Apple's recent updates are all bad because the root cause goes up to how Apple is trying to push their own agenda--they want to become the "Services" company, because the wall street thinks their device growth has stalled. For example their stickers is an attempt to monetize their user base with app purchases. They don't care that people would rather be able to take a photo and send with one tap, because they know users have no choice anyway. But this is super short sighted, Apple's recent moves reminds me of how Windows lost significant size of their users with Vista and went downhill.
- threeseed 10y agoMessages is a terrible example of that. In fact what you are talking about makes absolutely no sense. The reason the UI is designed this way is because they decided to cram 100 features in a space that simply can't accomodate it properly. Stickers, Apps, Photos, Animations etc all of that takes space.
- hasbroslasher 10y agoDid you my point about it being complicated and cramped? It seems like you're saying the same thing, so please, don't come at me with this "makes absolutely no sense" hyperbole.
