Design choices for iOS 10 is UGLY!

Haha these threads are amusing. Everything is the worst most ugly looking thing ever in the history of things...until the next thing. Rinse and repeat.
It sounds like you are talking more of a whole design change rather than visual changes that can be new or modified things within the same overall design aesthetic.
No, you were right the first time. I just feel like the small visual tweaks in iOS 8-10 were bigger than those in iOS 1-3 and 4-6.
I do... but that's not my issue... it's not the color of the boxes around the widgets... it's the fact that the widgets appear to be fixed size, regardless of the content... for example, here's my weather app (BeWeather) on iOS 10 and iOS 9.x:
The drop shadow on the album art looks terrible (but does it have parallax maybe?) Also the buttons, controls and text are way too big and bold. Also that "card" view is horrible IMO.
I guess I don't see most of what you're seeing. But thank god the buttons are bigger. That's one thing I hate about the current music app, the controls are way too tiny.

They also removed the repeat and shuffle icons... again.
Perhaps checking an existing thread on the topic might be it? https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/error-14-updating-restoring-to-beta-1-ios-10.1977156/
I really like the design of the new cards/notifications/widgets.
It's simple and professional and finally moving back to a mature design interface after the damage done in the iOS7 redesign.
Someone just needs to tell the team that worked on the messages app to use the same new design language and to move away the childish design aimed at teenagers.

It is really weird to see Apple returning to boxes and cards again, after they ditched everything for subtle, edge-to-edge designs in iOS 7. I thought the point was to remove visual clutter, not just replace it with translucency. We are coming full circle again and it seems that Apple is using more shadows too.
The music app in particular is the low point, the design is garbage. Supersized fonts, huge margins, no navigation bar, lots of non-standard UI components that you can't find in UIKit. They are even using different levels of translucency now. The result is messy and imbalanced. It is even worse than what Apple did to iTunes back in the days, it looks very foreign instead of being a proper native app.
Apple seems to be losing all the things that I liked about their design language, even if the style itself has not appealed to me since iOS 7.
