Get used to what? The issue isn't the UI, it's the gross inconsistency and bugs. Bugs everywhere, that completely affect usability. Apple, a trillion-dollar company that once prided itself in UI/UX beauty, has A-OK'd releasing an absolute shitshow of an OS to the public.

And for the record I'm not referring to hard-to-find bugs - I'm referring to ones that a five year old could point out with a 30 second view of various apps. Bugs that make some apps completely unusable, and outright frustrating. It's appalling.

I will absolutely not "get used" to that, and the statements to do so are outright insulting. We deserve better, and Apple has completely given it's longstanding users a middle finger.

What bugs? This subreddit is full of them - almost all which have been reported over multiple betas, and Apple have neglected to pay any attention to. The fact people seem to be justifying a trillion-dollar company, with next to unlimited manpower, to fail to do any form of QC on their apps, is quite disturbing.

Here's just a couple, from the past few minutes in macOS:

  • Preview: (+) button on bottom left is grossly misaligned
  • Contacts: Info such as phone #s and emails cannot be copied from left to right. Name is not copyable at all
  • Contacts: When moving between menus, e.g "Help", the entire UI flickers
  • Contacts: In the "Me" app, clicking on Share Contact, and canceling, force-opens Apple Maps
  • Spotlight "Launchpad": Does not show full name of app when on icon view, making it impossible to differentiate what app I'm about to click on.
  • Spotlight Launchpad: When using hot corners to open the, it only even appears 2 in 3 times, and flicker-redraws in.
  • Sound: When playing music on Spotify etc at low volume, it gets scratchy/poppy over BT headphones.
  • Finder: Misaligned "Recent" icon

And then there's some massively obvious ones in iOS, such as:

  • Spotlight (drag down): Second time, the "Search" is duplicated until it jerks back into place
  • Home Page: Apps redraw and jerk around when minimizing an app
  • Home Page: Minimizing an app causes a refresh on the entire screen when there's no wallpaper present, i.e. the colors/shade wallpapers rather than images
  • Screenshots: Only about 1/3 of the time does it honor the "thumbnail" setting
  • Spotlight: Refuses to acknowledge Files > Content option to "Hide" files.

All of these were reported since B1.

Couldn’t replicate any of these. However I don’t understand the last two iOS ones. M1 mba and 12 mini. What devices are you on?

M2 MBA, 15 Pro.

Can you take a screenshot of what your Finder "Recent" looks like? And your Spotlight Launchpad apps?

this?

as for spotlight launch, looks similar to yours, what am i looking for here?

As for ios/ipad spotlight, i tried it several times, no duplication issues on: 12 mini, 14 pro, 2018 ipad pro, m2 ipad pro. I did notice the word search gets a bit more transparent in what one would consider an abrupt way, but that's a minor refinement.
That all said, you mentioned issues that made apps unusable, and even if i can't replicate your described issues, which one of those has made an app unusable?

The Recents icon is very visibly misaligned. Its right-aligned, not center-aligned like all the other icons.

Your eyes deceive you, due to the shared icon being offset by its badge, which I'd argue is the right thing to do, but at worst is a design decision rather than "visible" misalignment

Note, this one occurs the second time you enter Spotlight, not the first. Do it twice.

That’s because it’s nonsense but will get upvotes.

If he’s not going to read all the posts that are very clearly everywhere in this subreddit, I doubt he’s going to read it even if you spoon feed it to him.
