One of the most egregious issues with macOS 26 is the accessibility/usability regression. Apple prided itself on making their operating system accessible. Good ux is inherently accessible.
There are so many parts of the os that flagrantly ignore well-established accessibility standards, some of which Apple themselves advocated for
- xp84 10mo agoIt’s what you get when you install a hack print designer who knows nothing about UI as the head of software design and leave him there for a decade. Even Jony Ive, who also had no business designing software, didn’t respect Dye. Thank goodness Meta has done Apple the biggest favor of the century by poaching him.
- hu3 10mo agoI hope I'm wrong but I don't see quality control improving with Dye's leave. The man had a bad taste for design but bug prevalence is endemic and changing head of design won't fix that.
- franktankbank 10mo agoHow is it possible that the head of a divisions particular UX taste pervades the product?
- mvkel 10mo agoI largely agree. The product decision deficit at Apple is cultural, not due to any one person missing. Stephen Lemay, Dye's replacement, has been at Apple since 1999, yet was passed over for the design lead position multiple times. There's a reason.
