Apple is split between being this poppy, fresh company for the creative, as they were with their skeuomorphic designs and a more security savvy crowd with their new marketing bent towards organizations now that windows is less than reliable. Perhaps this was the right move for their consumer-bent OSses like ipados or ios, but there's a reason most enterprise companies used windows 7/vista with the boxy classic themes.

They will have a seriously hard time coming up with something new. The last thing they did was the iPhone and since then their output has stagnated. Yes, M series, yes Metal yes that dumb AR headset. They’re playing catch up to everything everyone else is doing and it’s not going well. That Liquid Glass thing is an absolute meme. I can’t believe they fell for it. We did it back in mid 2000s mostly because Aero was kitsch as fuck and having all those blend layers in Photoshop was phreaking cool. But 2025 with a whole OS/WM? Get the hell out I can’t believe it’s a thing. The pace of consumer tech has stagnated so Apple is going to have a very hard time finding something truly new that’s actually useful to put in front of people. Mostly it’s a fashion item right now with people upgrading to latest phones to flex on their friends and cow workers
