After using similar icon packs on Android, I can tell you that having all icons the same color makes them much harder to find. We rely heavily on color to navigate; form is slower for humans to recognize than color.
I'm using the Pix Material Expressive icon pack at the moment which is a nice compromise - all the icons are similar colours, but they alternate between a few different shades of blue. Keeps it clean but also easier to find the right app compared to if they were the exact same colour
No we don’t, recently decided to go for a full black theme on mine, literally the entire background and apps were all black. But without even giving it a thought u could smoothly operate through the entire system without even realising. It’s not the colour that helped, it was the habit that did. If you shuffle your apps about or have some serious level of incompetence with repetitive tasks, you will indeed struggle. Currently my entire apps and background is all white on white on white. Still no trouble. So maybe I am just different or some.

6:20 Readability is the main reason I don’t use many cool looking wallpapers. I’ve leaned to simple colors and avoid complex modern art designs and fractals.
That's the problem with overdoing transparency. Good design means you don't have to worry about the mere choice of theme colours or wallpapers impeding basic things like readability and accessibility.
This is following the trend in a lot of media: watch movies/tv and everything is too dark, try to hear dialogue and everything is garbled and you have to turn subtitles on. Now our phones will be barely readable for aesthetics.
no suprises for me... from the company that gave the butterfly keyboard, the macbook air with just one usb port, the macbook pro with the oled function bar. Things that are beautiful and not practical - form over function.
I remember downloading the 3D parallax lockscreen with cydia on my jailbroken ipod touch 4th gen. 15 years later we're getting the ability to do this natively!
@@wruxThey do. You can enable reduce transparency to cause the glass to become semi translucent, you can turn on increase contrast to create a black border around the glass along with the glyph being thicker along with also becoming semi translucent white, and reduce motion will reduce the refractive effect and the “bounciness” to the glass.

@Sourcingisresearch101 I think the word windows vista and you are somehow related. Coz, everywhere I see windows vista, I see your reply there. The ultimate DEFENDER
Apple were always copying 3rd party apps. 1Password, Dropbox, Better snap, Alfred and many more. Once the app became successful it will be integrated in to a Mac 10:55 .
I’ve been thinking about this. Are they really just copying 3rd party apps or are the apps no brainer solutions that would’ve been integrated natively eventually anyway?
no i wont say its copying in a sense by that logic every new feature in any phone or sofware is copied cause they are not the original iteration of said feature @RENX5
Linux containers support natively in the OS is a surprisingly big feature. Not just for devs, but because apps can now launch Linux processes as container sidecars. So you can have a native macOS frontend in swift and the application's internals is one or more Linux processes. There's a massive ocean of Linux software this could be great for.
@@matt5721 No, the only thing it shares with Docker is the OCI container format. The runtime is entirely different, and at least for running containers, looks like a much better implementation in terms of things like isolating different containers from each other. Might not be as nice for building container images, though. Frankly I really don't like the Docker runtime, I prefer to use containerd or Podman in production environments. Simpler, faster, and more secure. (containerd is what Kubernetes uses under the hood instead of Docker.)
People missed just how incredibly broad and significantly detailed all of these updates actually are. I’ve used Android and iOS for over a decade and I have developed software for both as long as they have existed. Apple has the benefit of being a smoothly integrated system across all devices, something Android/Google and Samsung just cannot do.
Back in the days you’d have to raid a village, steal people’s cows and swear at kids to be called a savage, but nowadays it suffices to read an Apple event on a non Apple phone. How times have changed
By far the biggest feature for me is just that hold feature, not having to put up with waiting for an hour with obnoxious hold music and instead I can get on with other stuff is so good
It's great. I've had it on my Pixel 6 for almost 4 years now. One of my favorite features of the phone. That and the automated call screening. It's so satisfying to see spammers hang up when they hear the automated message. Much much fewer "Scam Likely" calls now.
The new liquid aesthetic is incredible. To be honest, I'd like to get a leather background that makes the phone feel like it's made of liquid crystal. XD
Everything Apple does is for a reason. This interface is to get people normalized to seeing things they would through Apple Vision googles. Slightly translucent against a faded background so you can still see the surroundings.
When your PC uses glass interface: ew, you use old unsafe windows When your android uses glass interface: ew, you are stuck in 2013 When apple uses it: yay new design
At approx 13:24 you said they aren’t going to cannibalize their own product. Years ago Steve Jobs famously said , “If you don’t cannibalize yourself, someone else will. It may have been in reference to the iPhone taking away from the iPod business. We know how that turned out.
I thought about this a lot when I bought my Macbook Pro and I just completely stopped using my iPad. I’m probably “the short term goal” in Tim Cook’s books, I worked my way up to buying into the top of the totem pole and now have a $500 product collecting dust. Steve Jobs would roll in his grave at this 😂 The iPad should be the ultimate digital notebook on its own that blends seamlessly between Mac and iPhone as an accessory to both. I should WANT to upgrade my iPad every few years to match my powerful Pro that I won’t need to upgrade for another 10 years.. but that’s long term goals, and Tim hates to cook those
I still believe the iPod could have been a huge hit in this day and age among younger generations. Now with apple music and apple fitness. What a shame they ditches the playful nature of the iPods. Great device to take with you to the gym without any distractions!
The UI team at Apple ran out of things to do about 13 versions ago. I love that you describe almost every change in this video as "interesting". Literally nothing is an improvement in usability.
True, and that’s a VERY bad sign. Design should ALWAYS prioritize useability and put everything else second. If it looks pretty but gets in the way of doing what it’s meant for, it misses the mark. And "liquid glass" seems to be a prime example of that. I’m extremely disappointed.
@@dreadz1421 Apple will tell you how much time your iPhone needs to finish charging... to 80%. Then you have to find the remaining time in the settings.
Yeah, the iPadOS stuff is pretty big but other than that it's quite weak. People are on the fence about the new theming but overall I think their UI/UX team is pretty talented still. Can't say the same about their OS feature teams nowadays in my opinion, the pace of development feels slow.
I bought an M4 iPad Pro and didn't end up using it as much as I thought I would. It basically became a media consumption device because it was so hard to use for any meaningful computing. This update is huge for iPadOS. Finally feels like they're unlocking the potential of the hardware of the M4 iPads. The multitasking, window management, and the new Files app functionality makes it feel like I could actually finally take my iPad with a keyboard on a trip and not feel limited compared to a laptop to do some basic work or writing and such.
Same. I use my iPad Pro for UA-cam😂. I didn’t even get a keyboard because I quickly realized this thing cannot do anything productive. It seems to be moving towards what it should have been all along.
I have to say as a professional musician, my iPad is the most important part of my professional life. I use it every single day for the majority of my work, and when I do hit the limits and need a computer it drives me crazy. This is awesome for me because my entire life is getting easier and easier in just iPad alone
@@delenius1 Out of curiosity, what sort of productivity tasks have you felt unable to do on your iPad? I first bought an iPad for drawing, then later got a pro because I realised I could do more with it than I first thought.

One Mac feature that I miss was looking up words in the dictionary straight from spotlight, which I believe was removed in Big Sur. It used to show you the full definition right there, now it opens the dictionary app which if you’re in a full screen app takes you back to the desktop.

5:16 The translation shown here is wrong. In german it says, "Hallo, sind sie für eine Hochzeit am 6. Dezember verfügbar?", which would more accurately translate to "Hello, are you available for a wedding on December 6th?". The original german sentence never mentioned a catering or anything of that kind, but Apple's translation did. I'm sure that's what the german sentence was meant to say, but it's not what was actually said. If this is what Apple decides to show of as their new great translation feature, I'm not sure whether this is going to be reliable at all.
Hello, we are Apple and we are so thrilled to introduce the best UI we have ever created. We are bringing the new UI that nobody asked for and as a result you get lower contrast and worse readability. This is Apple
the theme looks great but yeah they could improve readability in a lot of areas literally just going further with the skeuomorphism and just adding shadows and depth to things would fix it

I've really enjoyed call screening on my Pixel for a couple of years. Basically, I have no spam calls I need to deal with. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't a bigger deal.
As someone who works in cell phone retail, this is going to be a nightmare of customers coming in saying they don't know how to use it because over night it completely changed itself.
A large part of what led the iPhone to being great for older people was it's consistency for a decade plus of everything being in the same spot in every app.

This is following the trend in a lot of media: watch movies/tv and everything is too dark, try to hear dialogue and everything is garbled and you have to turn subtitles on. Now our phones will be barely readable for aesthetics.
no suprises for me... from the company that gave the butterfly keyboard, the macbook air with just one usb port, the macbook pro with the oled function bar. Things that are beautiful and not practical - form over function.

yes
@@wruxThey do. You can enable reduce transparency to cause the glass to become semi translucent, you can turn on increase contrast to create a black border around the glass along with the glyph being thicker along with also becoming semi translucent white, and reduce motion will reduce the refractive effect and the “bounciness” to the glass.
@@CommanderCodey Yeah I'm a developer that works on accessibility a lot so I'll be interested to see how scaled back the glass effect will go with controls

Apple were always copying 3rd party apps. 1Password, Dropbox, Better snap, Alfred and many more. Once the app became successful it will be integrated in to a Mac 10:55 .
True that.
"copying" so you mean they shouldn't add features cause other companies have them?
I’ve been thinking about this. Are they really just copying 3rd party apps or are the apps no brainer solutions that would’ve been integrated natively eventually anyway?
no i wont say its copying in a sense
by that logic every new feature in any phone or sofware is copied cause they are not the original iteration of said feature @RENX5
how did they copy dropbox lol
Linux containers support natively in the OS is a surprisingly big feature. Not just for devs, but because apps can now launch Linux processes as container sidecars. So you can have a native macOS frontend in swift and the application's internals is one or more Linux processes. There's a massive ocean of Linux software this could be great for.
Linux containers outside Linux are just Linux running on top
It's just built in docker
@@matt5721 No, the only thing it shares with Docker is the OCI container format. The runtime is entirely different, and at least for running containers, looks like a much better implementation in terms of things like isolating different containers from each other. Might not be as nice for building container images, though.
Frankly I really don't like the Docker runtime, I prefer to use containerd or Podman in production environments. Simpler, faster, and more secure. (containerd is what Kubernetes uses under the hood instead of Docker.)
does it work with windowing? could be big for something like Proton (commenting before i actually watch the video)
This is for non-GUI apps as far as I know. You could pair a container backend with a Swift frontend, though.
People missed just how incredibly broad and significantly detailed all of these updates actually are.
I’ve used Android and iOS for over a decade and I have developed software for both as long as they have existed.
Apple has the benefit of being a smoothly integrated system across all devices, something Android/Google and Samsung just cannot do.

It's great. I've had it on my Pixel 6 for almost 4 years now. One of my favorite features of the phone. That and the automated call screening. It's so satisfying to see spammers hang up when they hear the automated message. Much much fewer "Scam Likely" calls now.
The new liquid aesthetic is incredible. To be honest, I'd like to get a leather background that makes the phone feel like it's made of liquid crystal. XD

At approx 13:24 you said they aren’t going to cannibalize their own product. Years ago Steve Jobs famously said , “If you don’t cannibalize yourself, someone else will. It may have been in reference to the iPhone taking away from the iPod business. We know how that turned out.
This. It’s in the biography as well.
I thought about this a lot when I bought my Macbook Pro and I just completely stopped using my iPad. I’m probably “the short term goal” in Tim Cook’s books, I worked my way up to buying into the top of the totem pole and now have a $500 product collecting dust. Steve Jobs would roll in his grave at this 😂 The iPad should be the ultimate digital notebook on its own that blends seamlessly between Mac and iPhone as an accessory to both. I should WANT to upgrade my iPad every few years to match my powerful Pro that I won’t need to upgrade for another 10 years.. but that’s long term goals, and Tim hates to cook those
Well the new Apple would never do anything like that. Which is sad cause it was a success !!!!
I still believe the iPod could have been a huge hit in this day and age among younger generations. Now with apple music and apple fitness. What a shame they ditches the playful nature of the iPods.
Great device to take with you to the gym without any distractions!

The UI team at Apple ran out of things to do about 13 versions ago. I love that you describe almost every change in this video as "interesting". Literally nothing is an improvement in usability.
And still they’re living rent free in your head. Frustrating isn’t it?
@@Ryotsu2112wtf are you talking about. Just using random phrases
Half the things he mentioned improve usability. Especially for the iPad
True, and that’s a VERY bad sign. Design should ALWAYS prioritize useability and put everything else second. If it looks pretty but gets in the way of doing what it’s meant for, it misses the mark. And "liquid glass" seems to be a prime example of that. I’m extremely disappointed.

I bought an M4 iPad Pro and didn't end up using it as much as I thought I would. It basically became a media consumption device because it was so hard to use for any meaningful computing. This update is huge for iPadOS. Finally feels like they're unlocking the potential of the hardware of the M4 iPads. The multitasking, window management, and the new Files app functionality makes it feel like I could actually finally take my iPad with a keyboard on a trip and not feel limited compared to a laptop to do some basic work or writing and such.
People are celebrating file apps? In 2025? Wow
Nope, Apple won’t let you do enough to cannibalise the Mac.
Same. I use my iPad Pro for UA-cam😂. I didn’t even get a keyboard because I quickly realized this thing cannot do anything productive. It seems to be moving towards what it should have been all along.
I have to say as a professional musician, my iPad is the most important part of my professional life. I use it every single day for the majority of my work, and when I do hit the limits and need a computer it drives me crazy. This is awesome for me because my entire life is getting easier and easier in just iPad alone
@@delenius1 Out of curiosity, what sort of productivity tasks have you felt unable to do on your iPad? I first bought an iPad for drawing, then later got a pro because I realised I could do more with it than I first thought.

One Mac feature that I miss was looking up words in the dictionary straight from spotlight, which I believe was removed in Big Sur. It used to show you the full definition right there, now it opens the dictionary app which if you’re in a full screen app takes you back to the desktop.

The original german sentence never mentioned a catering or anything of that kind, but Apple's translation did.
I'm sure that's what the german sentence was meant to say, but it's not what was actually said. If this is what Apple decides to show of as their new great translation feature, I'm not sure whether this is going to be reliable at all.

As someone who works in cell phone retail, this is going to be a nightmare of customers coming in saying they don't know how to use it because over night it completely changed itself.
