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.

Sure, I just don’t think it’s really that much different than what we have now. I guess I’m just indifferent to it and don’t think it’s that big of a change.

I completely agree.

I see no reason to take their criticisms seriously. Have you ever seen a chinese website?

I like the direction, but I’d need the transparency to be dialled down a bit cause the contrast is missing.

XP was “the Linux” of Windows releases…

I share the same feeling. The flat lifeless interfaces need to go.

This article really needs some illustration of what the new UI looks like, and what the old one looks like for comparison

I bet it's going to drain more power, since you have to render all the diffraction in real time...

the new one looks like shit.

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

I knew it. I knew someone would manage even the most innocuous news into a "China Bad" take.

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.

And most other consumers, I would wager.

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

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?

Those damn corners weren’t round enough yet, thanks Apple designers

after using it for a bit, i’d say in most cases i agree: bit of a nothing burger in a lot of cases (to the point where a few times i’ve thought it was bugged and reverted to the old UI style… it wasn’t), but it’s pretty great when it comes to apps where the UI is secondary (content etc)… the diffraction in the UI rather than a blur makes the whole UI able to be ignored much easier, and IMO it’s still about as legible in most real scenarios

I like the way it flwobs her face, but where there aren’t distinct background shapes, it’s like a glass of water on a plain background, just kind of a dull nothing.

The more I look at it, it’s making me feel a bit queasy actually
