Putting software design under the hardware design folks after Forstall was outed was and remains disastrous IMO.
Dye and his team continue to make beautiful hardware but fuck me hiding every function of a program behind a hover state or overflow menu absolutely kills usability. Productivity is being sacrificed for some weird notion of “cleanliness”. We’re all running displays with millions of pixels, we can afford buttons for stuff.
- urthor 4y agoThis, absolutely this. The hardware is getting better. The software is getting worse. They're hiding usability.
- ksec 4y agoThis, and iOS7. I know I am in the extreme minority but I do miss Forstall. I just dont like Craig Federighi much.
- solarkraft 4y agoI also find software quality to be getting worse (more glitches and bugs, which can be very distracting), but I actually like having the main UI as free of distraction as possible. Though I'll agree they've overshot their goal a little/are focusing on the wrong things in places (I always use the search to crop things in preview).
