Ten years later, they finally replicated my iPhone 5 jaibreak theme and widgets! Well, partially.
What was that Cydia theming app called... it was titled in leetspeak, I think?
This comment brings me way back haha. I had to look it up because I didn't remember but it was Winterboard or Dreamboard that I used on my 3rd gen iPod touch.

It is about managing risk, you do need real world testing for many products, and it is impossible to do that without risking the public sees it (you could camouflage it like they do with cars) , but at the same time it probably isn't suitable to take an unreleased phone into a bar where the risk of losing it is higher than say a grocery store.
It was in a rounded, 3gs-like case

I was worried it was gonna be Marquis Brownlee being sued.
Oh no, not the uber rich corpo shill YouTuber

Looks like shit IMO
Yep, when every app has a gray color, it’s much harder to find what you’re looking for on the screen.
Google committed the same sin when they made every one of their apps have the same four color look - now I can’t easily find the one app I’m looking for.

Intent. One was an accident, the other is potentially criminal if I'm not wrong. I could be.
Based on the article, the youtuber and an accomplice who knew an Apple employee accessed the employee’s phone while it was unattended, so technically it wasn’t intentional and more negligence. On the other hand, Apple also claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe this was the final straw.

Interesting to read that they actually fired the engineer this time. The last time this was reported (more recent than the phone proto left at the bar), Apple didn’t fire the responsible engineer. I guess that person was too important to let go.
The article says Apple claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe it’s the last of multiple strikes.

Winterboard, that's it!

solution is to not use any of their apps

Which red, blue, yellow, and green icon on a white background are you looking for?

According to the filing, Lipnik has been fired from Apple “for failing to follow Apple’s policies designed to protect its confidential information, including development devices and unreleased software and features.” The filing also accuses Lipnik of failing to report “multiple prior breaches” to Apple.
When you sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), you’d best protect the secrets. Then again, the guy who left an iPhone 4 in a bar didn’t lose his job. Wonder what the differences are between them.
Oh no, does that mean glassy look will be back the next few years? Bad legibility all over again?

Willfully breaking an NDA with one of the most litigious companies in the world for what is essentially fake internet points is a bold strategy Cotton. Doesn't look like it is going to work out for him.

I've set my Android to the Glass icon pack. It kinda looks okay if the background is very blurry and featureless. Try setting a busy vacation pick as backdrop and you won't find any of your apps again unless you set the icons to a size normally reserved for the visual impaired.

Kinda reminds me of Windows Aero, but with Grey as your main colour.
Wait what would you call the main color of aero?

At least material design is readable.
Actually, in the latest beta, they reduced the glass effects.
In case you missed it, find an iOS beta 1 video and see how they are rendering photorealistic light reflections on the glass UI…

Users could choose their own color scheme, default was a light blue.

Oh yea I forgot about that! I miss that. (The color selection, not the….everything else lol. Well, maybe the widgets too.

Maybe. I suspect it will be much better than last time.
Processing power is much better now than in 2006. Back then it was about having some blurry transparency and lots of light beams and lens flares and shit, because it was easy to layer that over stuff. This is going to be more about refraction at the edges and clarity in the centers, with frosted looks as background when needed.
I am hopeful, it looked mostly good in the WWDC video, with only a few examples of poor legibility that hopefully will be ironed out.
I’m personally ready to move on from the flat look as long as it remains cleaner than Frutiger Aero. I miss having depth in my UI.

That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.

The lack of color isn’t the default, it’s an option (an evolution of one that already have). By default everything is still colorful.
