They don't have much of a choice. They bet the house on liquid glass and need to keep up appearances.

I think they just need to wait a bit and then present something more sensible as the new hot design.

How? If they reverted to the previous iOS and macOS designs, Apple would go out of business?

  • Of course not, but I'd rephrase what the OP said as something more like "it's unrealistic to expect them to go 'hey, guess what, never mind about all that' after a half a year.

    I think it's more realistic to expect that they're going to stick with a UI officially called "Liquid Glass" for the next decade, but it's going to go through some serious iterative changes in the next couple of years -- probably much more than it would have were Alan Dye still around.

  • God only knows how much money they invested into the new GUI engine for all their platforms. It was a super expensive bet.

      What are you basing these claims on?
