I decided to install the beta to get a more informed opinion. I think the UI looks better when you’re holding it vs seeing it in the pictures.
Control center, however, sucks.
- microtonal 1y agoI installed the iOS beta and thought it was as bad, if not worse than the WWDC demos. In a lot of cases, text becomes outright unreadable. Control Center looks like a mess with all the transparency. Like the grandparent I'm much more excited by Material Design 3 Expressive.
- argsnd 1y agoThere's some instances of text illegibility that seems to be caused by buggy contrast detection and I think they'll probably fix that pretty easily since this is only the first beta. I think the readability concerns are really overblown.
- int_19h 1y agoIn Vista/Win7, they mostly used glass background for parts of the window that didn't have any text on them. And for the few exceptions where that wasn't the case (like e.g. window titles) they added a kind of halo so that black text would always contrast with that regardless of what was below the window, or else just significantly darken the glass and use white text. All for obvious reasons. Looking at the new iOS screenshots, I'm surprised that those reasons apparently aren't obvious to Apple designers.
- aaomidi 1y agoMaybe I've dodged this by having a fully black background! Hope they improve on some of these issues.
- MisterBiggs 1y agoSame experience. I hopped on the beta because I thought the current version was going to be really bad and I wanted to watch them move towards something more functional. Its definitely not perfect but the way that the UI reacts in real time to holding the phone and elements moving makes it work really well and isn't something you can capture in a screenshot or video.
