I would be so, SO happy if iOS 27 reverted all the pointless UI changes since Snow Leopard and went back to that good old-time 2009 design language!

@cstross @iamlayer8 Not sure I totally agree actually! The early Connery's are more serious but by the time you get to You Only Live Twice and Diamonds are Forever they have become self aware and very very silly in parts.
IMHO the amount of silly Q stuff in the film is directly proportional to the camp factor, basically. The amount of Q in the franchise is a sine wave.

I think you can make a movie funny or silly without it being a farce. A farce would have to not be funny or silly to work.
It may be more of a persiflage when it‘s also funny. So that may describe my reaction better. And I still know it was not meant as a persiflage. I‘m just coping. -
@cstross I am putting off upgrading my original iPhone SE to something newer because I can not stand this god damn new UI they've come up with.
It's hideous.

@cstross I don't know who started this rumor but from what I saw it seems Apple is not going for a 2009 look but they are focusing on improving existing features rather than going for new things much like they did with Snow Leopard. That means nothing is going to change drastically.
@abhijithb21 @cstross It is likely that things will change visibly. The guy who was head of design when Liquid Glass rolled out, Alan Dye, absconded to Facebook shortly after, and Apple promoted Steve Lemay internally. They also just re-hired Sebastiaan de With, who had been there before and then went to Halide. Before Apple rolled out Liquid Glass, he posted this entirely speculative story about what it might look like. In the abstract, he was on the mark, but note how much less of a disaster his renderings are. He’d be a good candidate for fixing things. https://www.lux.camera/physicality-the-new-age-of-ui/
