Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers
Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers
Pretty sure it disappointed most people
Not Apple fans though. They can't wait to use their new Vista!
Yeah, I used to be a typical Apple fanboy circa 2010, always watching the WWDC like I’m going to church.
Keeping up with Apple over the past several years has been very hit or miss, and watching it yesterday just kind of pissed me off.
I just checked the Apple website and it doesn’t really look any different to me.
I can see there are changes, but I don’t even know if the average user will really notice it.
This article really needs some illustration of what the new UI looks like, and what the old one looks like for comparison
the new one looks like shit.
What people really want is less control and cat videos. Perhaps a screen with two knobs on the side...one for the volume and the other to change the picture?
We're all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:
One of the greatest videos ever.
The platform saw more than 20,000 mainland netizens express their discontent over the new design.
Halt everything!! 20k people saying things on the internet!!
And most other consumers, I would wager.
I bet it's going to drain more power, since you have to render all the diffraction in real time...
The whole update being design focused is kinda disappointing. But the Liquid Glass UI does look kinda intriguing. I'm glad to get back a little of the old Skeuomorphism of old.
Though I don't have any Apple stuff at the moment
Yeah I actually liked the whole Vista/7 era Windows looks. Didn't like anything else about Vista but that wasn't Windows Aero's fault.
you spelled Liquid Ass wrong.
If this were an optional "skin" of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don't like the design direction, nor the performance implications
Those damn corners weren’t round enough yet, thanks Apple designers👍
Apple: adds blur effects, rounded elements, and color themeing
Homo Sapians: "Wow, another groundbreaking idea from Apple!"
It's not just blur though, it actually refracts what's behind the element, which sounds more performance intensive than it needs to be, and sometimes it's heavily distracting, but let's not kid ourselves that this is just windows vista on a Mac, they're emulating more of the physicalities of glass than just a static shine
Liquid ass
You know
Sorry, I really don‘t mean to be rude or hurtful, but from all I‘ve seen and I mean ALL I‘ve seen Chinese consumers have no taste whatsoever. Yes, their manufacturing has become great if they actually care about something but this argument is not about stability. What I mean is the more a company relies on the Chinese market and tailors their commodities abd luxury products around Chinese consumers, the uglier they become. Just look at European cars lately. Hideous. So yeah sorry again but I take that as a seal of quality for Apple‘s UI design.
I knew it. I knew someone would manage even the most innocuous news into a "China Bad" take.
Sorry but any article about what internet users are saying about any topic is not real news. It’s not even noteworthy.
