IOS changes
As time goes on, I’m much less willing to accept the changes being made by Apple.
In the past, I used to really look forward to the changes, refining an already great UI.
This is not a rant and neither am I judging other people for their choices, but for me I have stopped updating my many Apple products because of the poor choices made by Apple.
Moving input bars around so you need to build up new muscle memory, floating elements, effects like liquid glass and far too many distracting animations.
Then the soon to be forced AI knows best approach is disturbing to me and there’s the introduction of ads gradually being introduced very slowly to different parts of the UI on each new generation of IOS, which seems very un-Apple like.
To top this, being badgered constantly to update, when I’m quite happy with what I already know and like.
It has now got to the stage now where buying new Apple products means excepting Apples new approach and system, so I’m not buying anything from Apple.
I find the whole situation a little sad, no longer are Apple the innovative people’s choice, instead they have become a corporate monster with no thought to some of their customers. Instead profit seems now to be the most important thing.
Unfortunately, there really isn’t a good alternative that isn’t doing exactly the same thing to their customers.
So here we are…….
