@D-4got10-01 the original isomorphic design was pretty nice for the time. The flat icons were really nice in my opinion, and when they started adding that glassy material I did really love it.
But making everything out of glass is so tacky and difficult to read. Oh well. -
@D-4got10-01 I think it's pretty nice looking. What was really bad was their first gen "flat design" in iOS 9 or something... got damn did that look bad

@AlgoRythm, @12bitfloat:
What can I say, to each their own.
Some people like Apple's design choices && that's fine.
Personally, out of the three contenders at the time, I really liked the Windows Phone's tiles the best.
I do tend to like the sharp edges more than the rounded ones.
I also prefer legibility to clutter, 'nice', && 'beautiful' effects. -
@D-4got10-01 funny you should mention clutter. The tightly tiled windows phone design (I had both 8 and 10 winphones) really made me feel claustrophobic and the non beveled edges made it seem like they were all connected in a mosaic instead of individual units on a panel.
Android was pretty rough looking at the time. I still assert that iPhone really looked the best, even if the early versions of their flat design fell a little…
A little… fla- -
I personally like the design except the control center which is absolutely dogshit. Even with glasses it's hard for me to read through all those overlapping

AlgoRythm4991222h@AalbatrossGuy yeah honestly unsure of what idiot thought that “glass”, a material specifically designed to be seen THROUGH for all of human history, should be placed as the top-level UI background effect. They didn’t even start with frosted glass or whatever it’s just this liquid glass bullshit that I can’t fucking stand!
Wow, the new iOS design... looks like shit. It's hard to read text on top of the "liquid glass" and it's just sort of ugly looking.
