How? If they reverted to the previous iOS and macOS designs, Apple would go out of business?
- pier25 9mo agoGod only knows how much money they invested into the new GUI engine for all their platforms. It was a super expensive bet.

- UqWBcuFx6NV4r 9mo agoStop being so aggressive. You can look at Apple’s own published consent regarding Liquid Glass development. It’s very evident that it was thoughtful and involved.
- lII1lIlI11ll 9mo agoTopic of discussion was the price of developing and rolling back the new GUI, not how much thought Apple put in it.
- echoangle 9mo agoThe employees aren't thinking for free, making something "thoughtful and involved" is probably expensive, too.
- chipotle_coyote 9mo agoOf course not, but I'd rephrase what the OP said as something more like "it's unrealistic to expect them to go 'hey, guess what, never mind about all that' after a half a year. I think it's more realistic to expect that they're going to stick with a UI officially called "Liquid Glass" for the next decade, but it's going to go through some serious iterative changes in the next couple of years -- probably much more than it would have were Alan Dye still around.
