Apple has increasingly delivered “looks good, feels bad” design since the Jobs era, and I suspect this is organizationally endemic.
- reaperducer 5y agoI think it was more specific to a small group of powerful people, because it seems to be reversing. Slowly, but I can see that progress is being made.
- setpatchaddress 5y agoThis sort of thing is absolutely not new since the “Jobs era.” Early Mac OS X had exactly these criticisms leveled at it, for years. Also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_metal_(interface) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_metal_(interface)
- sudosysgen 5y agoIsn't Mac OS X solidly in the Jobs era?
- luffapi 5y agoYes, it’s basically NeXT and is 100% a Jobs thing. The parent is correct that it’s had major ux issues since day 1 though. Interestingly they also mixed in terrible OS 9 ux (cough Finder, cough .DS_STORE).
- luffapi 5y agoApple has always been like that with the exception of the Apple IIe. Lately things have been taking even more of a nose dive though. Have you ever used Apple Music? There is no excuse for that product to be as bad as it is. It’s probably the worst mainstream consumer app in the market.
