Opinions are one thing, but the hyperbole around here is hilarious… saw someone say they were ‘queasy’ trying to read something yesterday. Sheesh.
I’m always (every_year.EXE) amazed at people who will see the keynote, SEE some glaring issues present there, STILL run out and install the first Dev beta (sometimes on their primary/only devices), see the SAME issues… and come here and be flabbergasted. 😂
Aside from rethinking the whole ‘glass’ concept altogether, I feel that a simple translucency/opacity slider for specific elements (e.g., Control Center) would do wonders - I’d be shocked if something along those lines isn’t offered.
There are the occasional graphical overlaps, definitely stuttering, Mail hiccups… I haven’t run into any showstoppers for my particular use case. iPadOS was definitely the bigger swing this year - it’s a great first attempt; still rough around the edges a bit with the windowing, resizing, tiling, etc. with or without a keyboard/trackpad.
FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW TO THIS, A WARNING: Betas 2-4 are many times waaaaaaaay worse than the b1, while Apple incorporates feedback and “plays with the switches a bit” on different features. It will likely get worse for awhile. Their goal isn’t to have it perfect in June or July - it’s to have a solid OS available for the billions of eligible devices by September. If that doesn’t work for you, or you’re using your daily device that you rely on for communication or (yikes) work - or you get so viscerally angry at design choices (good/bad) that you may actually vomit 🙄 - you might want to sit these first few rounds out and wait for the Public betas. Just a thought. 🤝🏾✌🏾
