I’m going to go against the grain here (please don’t shoot!) and say I think it’s kinda pretty. They probably overstepped the mark here a bit, but likely they’ll dial it back over the betas and the actual release will be a little more tame.

I get there are accessibility concerns, but apple has the best track record of any os building company at making sure accessibility options exist and work well, so I hope that will address that. As for people here saying it’s ugly… how do I out this delicately. They do huge amounts of product research and market research as a company, it’s likely this will go down very well with the public even if it doesn’t go down well with the average HN reader… if you catch my drift.

It’ll be fine, IMO at worst it’ll be a bit ugly and they’ll be forced to walk it back a bit. The way people here talk about it it’s like this design kicked their dog or something.
