There's always grumblings about Apple not being as good anymore, but the voices around the release of iOS/MacOS 26 Tahoe have been much louder than usual.

I do hope Apple are listening!

That’s gross.

Yes, I know you can disable the colored tab bar. But that will still leave the gap between the website header and Safari’s sidebar.

Growing up with Windows, the first thing I did was make the folders yellow. I’m also curious to try Apple’s container framework and see whether it can replace Colima. And I want to play with the new ASIF disk image format.

That said, as expected, I really dislike the UI overall: smushy icons, menu icon overload, floating sidebars, inconsistent corner radii, and this general blurriness everywhere. I really hope they clean some of this up with macOS 27.

Since I’m on a Mac, I used to install major macOS releases on day one, sometimes even one week ahead with the GM.

With Tahoe, I was very hesitant for obvious reasons. But… I finally did it.

I was originally happy with MacOS 26 Tahoe. But since its release, I’ve stumbled onto so many interesting and amazing design blogs that utterly shatter the illusion that it’s any good.

Here’s one about icons that is incredibly thorough. Learned a lot from reading.

Update: After my terminal-fluent Mr and I futzed around with a partition solution, I ended up wiping the hard drive. Cue a panic attack when I couldn’t immediately recall the password on my backup drive…but we’re currently at about 20% files transferred and looking good! 🤞

Many many thanks for the boosts and helpful replies!

it's 2026 and #apple can't even fix their trash OS #ios26 #tahoe #macos #liquidglass but wants us to believe it has a #siri ai slop #gemini version all ready to roll out.

Mandatory squircle-cide

Every once in a while a post is made that must be celebrated, archived and lauded for the pithy zinger it is.

I am not arguing for maximalist icon designs anymore. However, there’s no denying that Apple used to have great icon designs (and icon designers). However, what’s clear is that Apple doesn’t believe it’s a meaningful value differentiator for them anymore and when you know that you are not putting in the investment to make that meaningful, of course you don’t want the rest of the world to surpass you and it becomes mandatory squircle-cide.

This isn’t limited to Apple though – this downslide seems more associated with “brand synergy”

Adobe’s total lack of personality has some personality to it while it looks like Google just went – I am primary colors and Microsoft split the difference. Weirdly, given its novelty, Apple’s icons are the ones lacking complete recognition – other than Keynote, I wouldn’t recognize any of the other icons anywhere. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Related, this is my absolute favorite Apple icon

I’ll miss you bud.
