Funny as I've seen iPad users complain that their iPads are getting too much like Mac OS. At it's core Mac OS is not getting iOSified. Some elements are borrowing ideas from the other platforms. Some things that have been in need of change for a while are getting addressed. I think it is a good thing that Mac OS is finally getting some TLC.
- nvrspyx 4y agoSorry, I should have been more clear. By iOS-ifying, I meant in terms of aesthetic (e.g. flat design), not necessarily in terms of workflow. I think that the flat, iOS-like design is worse for UX in a desktop context; just not to the point that it significantly changes the workflow. There's also iOS-ifying in regards to things like being more locked down, the introduction of the horrendous Touch Bar, redundant & useless Launch Pad, dumbing down apps like the iTunes >> Apple Music transition, etc. With all that said, I should also supplement that the convergence does bring some nice enhancements like consistent experiences across things like iMessage, complimentary features like Sidecar, shared workflows like the upcoming Stage Manager for macOS and iPadOS, etc. Heck, there's even some iPadOS features that I wish macOS had, like Slide Over app instances. I'd love to have a small floating Safari instance that I could slide in and out of view while I'm primarily working in one app full-screen.
