The initial excitement surrounding Apple’s redesign has quickly turned into disappointment for many users. As we approach September, there is still hope that they will address the current issues. However, it’s clear that Black Wallpaper users and others will not be satisfied with the current state of things.
The readability of the new interface feels problematic, complemented by low-quality app icons that detract from the overall experience. The inconsistencies within the user interface are particularly evident and suggest a downgrade rather than an improvement. While the new design may look appealing on a case-free 16 Pro Max, the previous version excelled in its adaptability across various devices and environments.
I never expected to feel let down by Apple’s design choices, but here I am, sitting at my MacBook while attempting to restore iOS 18 on my 15 Pro. The question remains: how can something so “clean” end up feeling so unrefined? I recognize that changes will likely occur, yet the so-called “unifying design language” appears to be causing division among users.
First impressions hold significant weight, and it’s evident that Apple has stumbled in this regard, a sentiment echoed by many. Despite the backlash, there seems to be a dismissal towards those who criticize the preview. Editing my initial thoughts did not alter my perspective; I still believe that if a redesign is the highlight of a release, it must impress from the get-go.
Users are always vocal about their opinions, and the current situation does not bode well for Apple’s reputation. Only time will tell if improvements will be made by September.
