Now that he’s gone can they roll back to Material? Please?
Material is Google’s design language
Whatever it was before, go back.
Read their design guide when I was learning proper UI/UX design and there was a lot of detail on how designing it to be simple and intuiting how users used the interface. Not putting options behind a ton of sub menus, making buttons a certain size, what feedback is expected, how best to make notifications readable, etc. It’s like they threw out everything and said fuck it.
Some options hidden under submenus are just almost never used
Maybe you select some text on iOS and clearly your first instinct is going to be to do something with Apple Intelligence. What are the chances you would want to look the text up? Like zero so that’s an extra tap
(Uhg)
PS: retesting this now, maybe it got better with 26.1
My "favorite" thing in iOS is when you're composing an email and want to insert a photo. You press and hold to get a context menu, then you tap the right arrow on the context menu a few times until you get "insert photo" (because apparently inserting a photo in an email is the last thing you'd ever want to do). Easy enough (lol) except that the right arrow changes position every time you tap it because the width of the context menu changes based on the width of the text options, so you're likely to tap outside the menu and dismiss it accidentally. For bonus points, I get to watch my 90-year-old mother with long fingernails try to do this.
