      Far cry difference there. They worked on settings app more because a lot of people felt it was dated and needed an overhaul as did they. Even if the new look is disliked it's just one app/feature. All in all it is still very much a desktop OS and they're showing no signs of a desire to change that.

      When designing an app you try to do things that the user is already used to because otherwise they get confused and won't accept your app / design. I think that's true cause if you're not a very technical person you get confused pretty fast (looking at my parents and gf). So if you have an IPhone it makes sense to not make the MacOS experience completely different cause then the boomers etc. Get mad.
      Having and easy and used to experience is one of the main reasons many people I know say that they prefer Apple devices over android/windows.

      But this move is not a bad idea. Considering that the younger generation is more familiar with their smartphone instead of a laptop or a desktop computer, providing similarity within the user experience can make sense from a product strategy standpoint. Only 9% of Apple's revenue came from Mac sales. Although still an astronomical amount of money, it doesn't really make sense for Apple to invest an entire lot on MacOS. I agree with their current strategy, and actually want to see Apple Pro apps on iPad.

      It shows where the journey goes. iPad doesn't become a Mac. MacOS slowly becomes iOS while Apple tries to get rid of duplicated code. Now that they use the same processor keeping these two separate is just a waste of money for Apple. And the app store model from iOS is much more profitable than MacOS anyway.

      You're not on Apple's pay role, so you gain nothing by defending them.

    I think a feature moratorium is basically what Ubuntu does with LTS releases. As a release that's meant to be stable and supported for years, it normally doesn't get too many new features, most of the work goes towards making the release as day to day usable as possible. New features are released on the three intervening releases before the next LTS 2 years down the line. So 4 releases every two years, three of which add features, one of which is a major stability release.

    I bought my first Macbook about a year ago, because with m1 Apple was actually offering the best value for a premium product - who would have thought. A little bit later I got my first iPhone, yea know - because ecosystem. In my first year of having both, the only real cohesiveness I have actually used has been airdropping of photos and videos and very occasionally typing a long text with a keyboard is nice. Also hotspots work pretty easily between the two. Other than that, I really use the two independently of each other and honestly wouldn't mind going back to PC if a better machine for the money came along. That being said, perhaps Ventura will change that, I am interested in the "use my iphone as a webcam" feature.

      Honestly the phone and the Mac aren't nearly as complementary as common wisdom suggests. The only benefits that you can't get with 3rd-party alternatives are AirDrop and iMessage
      The real pairing is between an iPad and a Mac. Those two really do live up to the hype, having one can totally change how you use the other. I recently lost my iPad Mini to water damage, and my workflow has definitely suffered
      I have to find annoying workarounds just to mark up documents. Reading documents and articles and the like is suddenly a much more sedentary task because my phone is not fun to read on. Without Universal Control, my Mac is inundated with low-urgency notifications that used to be relegated to the iPad and I have to find a place for apps on the computer that are definitely better-suited to a tablet form-factor

      Heck for some Windows 11/10 stuff you need Computer Management which was last updated 15 years ago and is one of those things I find kind of annoying as a Windows user. If you are going to create a design language for how things should be and modify the settings app to go along with it you probably should do the same upgrade to everything.

      Yeah while I do agree that it's absolutely laughable how fractured windows is in its UX lugging around ancients bits of software I do also agree with steven: every single piece of completely newly created software that they put into windows sucks. The ui might look fancy (which doesn't equal better btw) but the UX is terrible. Stuff is cluttered and unresponsive. Simplest example: compare the new and the old snipping tool. They both have the exact same core features (actually I'm not sure if there is any difference at all except for looks) but the new one is extremely slow and unresponsive. Try copying a taken screenshot so you can insert it into a mail for example. Snipping tool you just click the button and it's done. New one after clicking the button the whole Programm freezes as if it's broken, takes like a minute or even longer sometimes to process that and if you are lucky when it becomes responsive again it actually copied the picture. But that only works around 2 out of 3 times. That is unacceptable. So I am thankfully for every piece of old software that they do still carry around because realistically, it's simply the better tool to use.

    One small nitpick -- at least at the available glance, the 8:39 chart doesn't really suggest that NOBODY is using ANY of the features. Rather, EACH feature is being used by a relatively small percentage of users. However, it is conceivable (if not likely) that most users find at least one or multiple of these features that they use with some regularity. It's suggestive of a "let's fit in a little something for everyone" approach, rather than focusing on features that will find widespread adoption. After all, that's a lot harder! :)
    In every other respect, completely followed and agreed with your points.

  • @dwighthouse
    @dwighthouse Před rokem +7

    Been saying they need a feature moratorium for a long time. Or rather, not so much new user-focused features but big stability, performance, and compatibility features and fixes. Like what they did with Snow Leopard. They could also use this time to simply shore up the feature sets. So many features OS X had in the past have been disabled or made useless through unnecessary or ill-advised desire to update things for change's sake. Like the gripes you put in about System Preferences. Apple's movement away from skeuomorphism, and towards flat shades of vector graphics for everything is a huge loss, in my opinion. To take one example from a whole host, it can often be hard to tell, at a glance, what window is what application because they all share the same shade of grey. In older releases, GarageBand looked very different from Safari, which looked very different from iTunes, which looked very different from Finder, all while having a level of uniformity that you were never confused about what was a button or a tab.

    What is with slide down mode on the iPhone 14 Pro? Swipe down from the bottom of the screen and the top half of the window slides down to make it easier to hit higher UI elements - but then you get TWO dynamic islands. WHY mirror the island halfway down the screen? Then, hit the lock button. The screen will slide up like 30%, darken, then stop. Then you will have the "actual" dynamic island at the top, the dynamic island on the partially slid-down screen, and an outline of the dynamic island halfway down the screen, over the clock... time for a bug fix release.

    The stage manager rollout frustrated me to no end. I first heard about it and got really excited, enough so to pick up a magic keyboard for my last gen iPad Air to use as a travel laptop, and then it came out that only M1 macs are apparently strong enough to multi-task, which is frankly a joke. My bad for jumping the gun, but I never would have imagined it would be feature locked to an M1 chip. Worse still, I probably won't have a real need to update my iPad for years because the non-M1 Air is overkill for most of what I use a tablet for.

Some decisions definitely do seem bizarre such as switches over radio buttons and the new gesture demonstration thing looks lazy but i don't think it's terrible and there is room for them to change that down the line.

    The new Settings app looks much better and consistent with the sidebar. I don't know why anyone would find it complicated. And that's the reason they changed the name too, too feel more consistent with iOS and iPadOs.
    The choice of using switches instead of checkboxes is arguable in a desktop os, but the old center alignment doesn't make sense with a sidebar on its left, it will look ugly. So they had to align in to start and end.
    The touch demo illustration instead of a video is a bad choice though.

The biggest change I need to adapt to is IOS, after several years of Andrioid... Homescreen customisation and the App store still take a while to get used to... moving from Windows to Mac OS was fairly alright on the other hand given I also use Linux on the side. Given the poor interaction available between Andriod and Windows, I do hope Apple could bring together some more usable features cross-platform besides Airfdrop, I mean, features users would actually learn and remember to use.
