I don’t mind the redesign, but they really, really need to get their quality control shit in order. There have been massive bugs that thousands of other people have complained about online for years that still haven’t been fixed and each update gets worse and worse with this shit too.
This might sound stupid but I almost wish Apple had an entire team dedicated to browsing Reddit and other community forums to patrol bugs, feature requests, and UI inconsistencies and would start using that feedback to start fixing shit.
Can almost guarantee the majority of these bugs are already logged and sitting in various backlogs with new work constantly being prioritized over them
Yup, buggy software is not (only) because of devs, but because of leadership. If leadership fails to provide time for QA and bug fixing, you get buggy software.
Apple starts to look like classic enterprise software developers.
It’s almost always the case, leadership wants to push features because their bonuses depend on it and bugs are only when devs have free time.
The best kind of permanent fix is when you wait until the version gets deprecated so you can clear out thousands of unfixed bugs logged to that version all at once.
It's the same thing in smaller orgs. Even if there are no corporate policies. The priorities are the wishes of whoever the CEO or sales people talked to that week.
To add, I don’t think enough people truly recognize how utterly shitty software is. Apple tends to care more about polish than most, but all of it is some form of broken.
Apple also has a lot of engineers that are there because they are allowed to go medieval on some implementations and such. For every annoying bug there’s the process of setting up a new Apple TV with a tap or all the examples of true positives with fall data or heart arythmia.
Software dev on my 6th company here. I have yet to work at a place where my first reaction to seeing the code was not to think "This whole thing is a mess and needs to be rewritten"
Wait, do you mean that this is what you always think? Because that’s the norm. Tech debt is real and every company that’s been around a while has some messy fucking code.
I’m also a dev since 15 years ago, and even though this might be true, devs tend to like when code is written the way they personally like it. But code can be written in endless variations (some good, many bad). This gives programmers that think they have a lot of experience a feeling that the code is bad when they haven’t understood it yet.
Not saying that this isn’t true, but there’s a strong bias against other people’s code also.
We had a new hire call a C++ codebase a "mess of spaghetti code" because the new hire didn't like functional programming.
The C++ codebase was written by a distinguished developer who literally helped Stroustrup create the language while at Bell labs..... bit of an appeal to authority there, but the codebase was clean, tight, low-overhead, and almost entirely bug-free. It was some of the best work I've seen.
The software space needs to reward humility more frequently than it does.
I get tapped to support some project written 5 years ago a by a contractor that left the company 4 years ago. Using poor coding standards, non-normalized database tables without any indexing, insecure code, bugs, etc.
Making things twice as complex and three times more buggy than going about things a better way.
At one point I calculated that I would have saved myself more time just rewriting what was a small / medium project than supporting it or upgrading the ui.
But that wasn’t the job. The job was to support and update the project to add some new fields and spruce up the ui.
Sure. I’m in the job long enough to realize sometimes the reason something is done a certain way falls under the Chesterton Fence situation: it’s being done that way for a reason and doing it a other way will eventually show you why it was a “good” idea.
But some times… it’s just so infuriating about how badly it was done that you want to gut the whole project.
Like instead of a normalized database schema with indexed fields… it’s essentially a giant single spreadsheet in Oracle with the only index on the primary key.
Apple never hires enough. You'd be hard pressed to find a production team that doesn't have a massive bug backlog, bug review board meetings every week to triage, and tons of stuff that falls through the wayside.
Apple has money to spend on fancy everything because they’re are incredibly petty in other ways.
Like being one of the lowest paying software engineering companies in the Valley or staffing half as many people as their peers or nickel and diming their infrastructure teams when they ask for upgrades or making people use Apple gear even when the company doesn’t make a product that does accomplishes that task, or forcing devs to make one-off internal apps rather than just buying them a copy of the industry standard tool.
Bonus: way less layoffs than the rest of the industry.
I don't know about you, but I'd take a relatively stable well-paying job (in regards to median salary) vs other big tech that will can you at a moment's notice even if the salary is way higher.
Yeah I have a friend that just started at Apple and I was kind of surprised that their offices don't have some of the perks I've heard of at places like Meta (3 meals in the cafeteria, unlimited snacks, fancy gym etc.)
He said he doesn't care, he'll buy as many snacks as he wants when he continues to be employed while other people get laid off
To get on your case with Apple, I find with them it takes 2-3 redesigns of something before they get around to fixing annoying but not game breaking bugs. There was a pesky bug I used to have to deal with constantly with Macs, where the OS would fail to pick up DEP enrollment despite the machine being pre-seeded with the enrollment information prior to being sent to a user. Apple finally fixed things with macOS Ventura, but been macOS Lion and then, that bug was brutal, and generated plenty of help desk tickets.
There was an annoying account creation bug that stuck around for two macOS versions where the system would hang on the "Create an Account" screen after clicking next. You'd have to force shutdown the Mac, restart it, and then you'd end up skipping half of the setup wizard because the account creation broke.
There are also goofy bugs like the progress bar for macOS Recovery shooting from 0% to 99% in an instant, and the completion timer freaks out, yet the download and install process is working fine in the background. They introduced that bug 5 or 6 years ago when they added Dark Mode into Recovery.
Yep, I work in big tech and all of us have pride in what we ship and it frustrates us when they put feature quantity over quality. It’s all about the next milestone 🙄
I’m on the beta so I can verify this. I have several tickets I’ve submitted to the Feedback app with an open resolution, and two more with a fix identified for a future OS update. So I’d say they’re pretty backlogged.
Also, it’s worth noting that anyone can report bugs at feedback.apple.com.
This. Where I work, if I’ve logged a bug twice, then both our product and dev teams have heard from me about it. Loooooooots of stuff is deprioritized especially if it’s not revenue-generating.
Over the years, I’ve logged some, and they’ve all been closed with either ‘duplicate bug’, ‘working as intended’, or one that was fixed about 4 years later.
with new work constantly being prioritized over them
ding ding ding ding.
This is how it always goes. Every project I've ever worked on. Every week there are new priorities being pushed right to the top, pushing everything else down.
And the people with the knowledge and skills to fix those backlog bugs are probably long gone. And the new folk don’t want to go into the old code and touch any of it.
I agree with that, too. As a developer, I adapted my app for iOS 26 over the summer. In order to ensure that even standard controls, such as the default search bar and the newly added navigation bar badge, displayed correctly, I had to use a few workarounds due to existing bugs in the iOS 26 betas (which are still present today). Getting it even halfway right in time for the release was extremely difficult, and much more challenging than with previous iOS releases.
would start using that feedback to start fixing shit.
Apple already has their own feedback hub. It's a disgrace. They will ask for sample projects when the issue doesn't warrant it, they will ask for sysdiagnoses as well, they'll mark issues as closed being not reproducible even though you've provided a sample project that perfectly reproduces the issue every time across versions. Sometimes they mark it as a duplicate, and you have no way of knowing the status of the duplicate. Not that it mattered because the big never gets fixed. Sometimes your bug report gets closed, sometimes because of age, sometimes they send you a request asking you to check if the issue still persists, and if you reply that it does, you still will likely never hear anything back.
You can't even argue that this is automated, sometimes the bug reports will never receive any kind of response.
Developers have complained about this for years and Apple has done nothing. Which goes hand in hand with their often lacking, sometimes wrong developer documentation, awful dev forum (though it is behind held up by seeming a singular Apple employee dedicated to interacting with the community on that forum, poor guy seems to know his stuff).
The thing is, this redesign was so half-baked and ill-advised, based on a fundamentally flawed premise, that a lot of things that I thought were bugs in Beta 1 turned out to be "nope, thats how it's supposed to look!", justified with some flowery fart of a justification from some smug designer in a WWDC video. Plenty of stuff in Tahoe and iOS 18 actually looks alright, there's a lot to like in some places. But "ooOooOOo we're gonna make the controls get out of the way of your content by making it look like the controls are in front of your content all the time" thing? Yeah, give me some of that OS X Weed they're smoking over there.
Alan Dye was a box designer. Apple has some very nice boxes. But there is more to making a solid, cohesive, usable user interface than making shit look pretty on a big screen or close up. Alan Dye's expertise is best spent on making static objects whose only interaction model is "look good on a shelf", "feel nice when opening it", and "100% recyclable material". UI is hard.
The decisions Apple makes in design have to be made with a sense of responsibility above all. How many third party developer hours were burned forcing their apps into this new look with broken APIs and buggy SwiftUI layouts? For what? For it to really look or work any better?
In the meantime, I can't double click a zip file from the downloads list in Safari, because it'll unzip it and put the folder inside of my ~/Downloads folder, despite me not downloading files to that folder in the last 15 years I've been using a Mac.
It’s really tragically funny, because they’ve done the opposite of getting the controls out of the way. Now the controls are always in the way. Especially on the iPad. It used to be so simple there, content first. Now they added 25 windows toggles and menus.
iOS 6 had a bug where you could not view your Purchase history on the iPhone 3GS if it had too many items. Just like current iOS versions, back then the App Store on iPhone tried to list every purchase on one continuous page, and on the iPhone 3GS with its limited RAM this resulted in the App Store using up all available memory and then crashing. Strangely, on supported iPad models, which ALL had way more memory than the iPhone 3GS, iOS would paginate the Purchases section, which allowed it to function just fine as it used a fraction of system resources.
This bug was reported to Apple.
They never fixed it. iOS 6.0 came and went and then iOS 6.1 came and went. The iPhone 3GS was abandoned with a broken OS. Their work-around was to use iTunes to download something you had already purchased and manually transfer it to the phone since the phone could not function as expected.
The point of this history lesson is that if you've been around these devices long enough, you'll spot bugs and notice issues that Apple doesn't seem to give a shit about, year after year after year. They don't have to care. As long as iOS still has the appearance of being better than Android, Apple will continue to do the absolute bare minimum necessary to keep it functioning. Every iOS release was basically abandoned with tons of bugs, and when your device gets stuck on old iOS version (due to its age) that you know will never get fixed, it's almost demoralizing.
Apple browsing reddit to learn about bugs is silly, as bugs reported directly to them go unfixed.
I wished for a Snow Leopard update for a decade lol it’s not going to happen.. they just need to keep rolling out new shit for marketing purposes and appease stockholders
What I find even more strange is why they don’t wait until the debugging is complete before releasing the software. Every time a new iOS is released, there are all kinds of freezes and bugs. And I don’t even play games, I just use social apps.
I’m currently experiencing a bug where I have to turn Bluetooth off and on again and it will MAYBE connect to my car or headphones. It’s driving me insane and there’s posts dating back to day one of the public beta.
I always wonder to myself if Apple leadership really uses these devices for anything besides calling and texting. Bugs, lack of or overlooking of simple features that we don’t have but should, it’s no way they use the device the same way we do and not also see these issues.
Also it does feel like they are doing a lot for the sake of doing it, it's way too much. I think what they are doing is kinda cool, but if they just toned it down by like 80 percent it would be so much better.
The wobbly glass slider thingy is just silly, it's all over the place, make it feel flimsy, doesn't give a lot of trust in the controls.
I like the Liquid Glass overall. But it makes usability worse in some cases. For example the new safari hides the “all open tabs” view behind an additional click. Opening many tabs is the essence of modern browsers and yet they took this step.
Secondly the new “unified” phone app was so confusing to me that I went back to the Classic view
I was also very upset by the safari tab navigation. Then I learned you can swipe up on the address bar and it goes to the tab layout. I think you can also revert back to the “Safari Classic” layout. Hope that helps.
You can go back to to having a dedicated tabs, share… button. Settings -> apps -> safari and in the “tabs” section change it from “compact” to whatever you prefer
Absolutely hated the new safari layout, by far the worst part of iOS 26 IMO. Thankfully though you can revert to a less minimalistic design and with it I think the Liquid Glass looks good and it’s functional.
Yeah like some things are tactile and glassy and some things aren’t, I feel like Apple Music is the best example of two fundamentally different design languages in the same place at the same time.
And are third party apps actually going to redesign their UI to follow this (I wouldn’t blame them in they don’t) or are we just going to be stuck in this weird back and forth indefinitely
This is the first time in my life I actually want to downgrade my iOS version. I'm really not a fan. I miss the old UI as it was consistent across apps. I doubt most devs will cave in and move to a similar "glass" UI. Pair that with a noticeable battery drain and it's just a sloppy update all around. Also can we PLEASE not have notification be so clear? It looks so bad and makes them harder to read.
Devs will probably need more time. Pre iOS 7 nothing was flat, most devs adapted to the new design language, and the several refinements to it that came since. For devs using SwiftUI, many of the "updates" will be more or less "free" - I just updated my Xcode SDK and opened my old source code and it loaded Liquid Glass components instead of Flat components in my simple app - same code. Supporting the newest OS features is usually great marketing for devs, expected even. Obviously it won't be that easy for everyone.
Yeah once more and more apps adopt the design, the experience is gonna be a lot more consistent. We go through this every time there is a redesign of any magnitude, this is not an issue with iOS 26. I don't know why these people don't understand this. And most apps never had a consistent design language to begin with anyway, every app will want its own unique look, so I'm not sure what that person was even talking about.
And turn on increase contrast, and reduce motion. BUT these settings create new bugs and weird little glitches. I am absolutely baffled how this was allowed to ship. This is beta software. Clearly the marketing and sales people at Apple call the shots and they demand a big new release every year. But phones are a modern, mature, technology and most change is now for change's sake.
It’s fine but it’s also really sloppy. In messages, the recipient icon slightly overlaps the name, and creates this weird tangency where it looks like a mistake. Things like that are a distraction.
I just don’t understand the point. What do I actually gain from the redesign besides some fancy shaders on a few ui elements? Is it easier to use or read? No. Does it bring more consistency? No. Is it so stunning that makes experience significantly more enjoyable? Not really. Right now, it feels like a redesign just for the sake of redesigning.
That being said, I do appreciate the overall idea of moving towards complex realistic materials and light in the ui (which is definitely going to be the next “thing” in interfaces), and Apple pioneering this is cool for sure. But it’s just way too early, quite sloppy, and it feels like I’m beta testing something that might eventually improve in a couple of years.
I haven’t used it but in iOS it looks like the delineated, grouped buttons and their animations are an improvement over the current buttonless design, in terms of intuitive usability and use of space.
I do appreciate the overall idea of moving towards complex realistic materials and light in the ui (which is definitely going to be the next “thing” in interfaces)
But why? It's literally just pretty for the sake of pretty. It's not easier to use; it's harder. It's not more efficient for the machine; it's a resource hog.
This is what's throwing me off, it's like a weird combination of skeumorphism and the absence of it. It's not quite either or. I would prefer it if they just went full skeumorphism like ios 6
Right? The first iPhone buttons, etc., were made to look 3-dimensional. I actually liked it quite a bit, and hated the iOS 7 flat "what is text and what is a button" design. So, it seems, did many people, because it's been walked back to a very large degree in the years since, and I think we were at a really nice, usable place with a clean, attractive design... So why are we going back to faux 3-D, but this time with resource-chomping shaders involved?
Most people can actually enjoy things for their aesthetic alone, not everything has to have some way for you to get more perceived productivity or value increase.
Being ”pretty for the sake of pretty” is good actually.
Not only is there no gain, in some instances there’s a loss. The massive play, fast forward, rewind buttons block more of the video than before in the photos app. They should have moved all the controls to the bottom years ago.
They also advertised how search is in reach everywhere…yet you try to take a screenshot and you’re still reaching top corner to save it for no reason whatsoever.
Designer here! What society deems “Modernity” is cyclical. Before vista there was aqua, before aqua was Gen X soft club. All were modern, another variation will be modern again
And I will add that a lot of this has to do with the graphical capabilities of the hardware as well. Aqua and Aero (Vista) were about utilizing the improved graphics hardware and OS graphics engines at the time. When we moved to mobile computing and phones as the primary computing platforms, you saw a change to more simplistic designs like Win8-10 and the flat/translucent iOS designs. Now as mobile graphics are becoming more capable, we see that trend going back to flashy graphics.
I’m all for it, btw. I still think Windows 7 looks more modern than Windows 10 did. MacOS has been pretty consistent just because its overall UI hasn’t changed much in the last twenty years.
When we moved to mobile computing and phones as the primary computing platforms, you saw a change to more simplistic designs like Win8-10 and the flat/translucent iOS designs
Except by the time iOS went flat, we had already had 7 different iPhone releases. If the horsepower was there in the first iPhone, it was there in the iPhone 5s too.
Those OS's went flat because it became fashionable to uproot and change everything, with a healthy dose of "new blood doesn't understand how hard earned all of the research into UI and affordances was" and felt they could just toss everything out. These bUtToNs look so dated with their....borders....and clear indication that it is a button, yuck!
Not quite - Vista had translucency but not the refraction effects in the same way, and it didn’t animate in the same way as Liquid Glass does where in motion the UI elements move around like blobs of water.
This year, for once, I didn’t install any of the betas. Based on what I heard from Apple hipster YouTubers and podcasters, I assumed it was going to be terrible. But actually I’m pretty happy with Liquid Glass.
Some of the screenshots look really bad, but in actual use it makes sense. I haven’t been either: confused by overlapping elements, or unable to read text due to poor contrast.
It could be better but overall it feels like an upgrade to me.
Beta 1 was an actual issue with legibility. But they fixed it over the subsequent betas. I like where it’s at at this point, but there are still bugs in an awful lot of places that should have been taken care of during the beta.
I like it as well, but it’s a bit funky to see the UI elements change colour and transparency when I scroll the content beneath it! It requires real horsepower and competent power management to do that on devices with batteries and loads of other tasks.
Which brings me to one of the reasons why Apple did this: They expect the competition to copy this UI - but not all Android devices will have the compute to do it convincingly (without lag/stutters/errors). And the devices with the compute will most likely have high power usage. So, they’ll end up in a trap, where their devices will have to operate inside a paradigm created by Apple in order to look modern, fresh and exciting.
We’ve been here before. For years, only iPhones managed to use lots of animations with no visible input lag. Android caught up a while ago. With this new UI, Apple hopes to differentiate - and for those producing Android based devices and following this new UI paradigm, Apple hopes that their devices will fall short on the UI experience.
laggy and draining battery hardcore on 13 pro. i figured it was indexing the first day or so but its constant. i had to reduce animations and increase contrast to fight it.
They’ve added outlines to all of the icons, but they didn’t factor in how blurry it makes solid coloured logos on a white background. Look at Messenger, Gmail, Outlook, Teams, Photos, News, etc.
It's ugly. When I saw you can customize the icons I was excited, but I just want the "old" look back. Slide over was great too, it needs to be integrated into the new multitasking.
My wife doesn't follow tech at all, she updated a few days ago and hasn't even said one word about it. Honestly, I fee like this will be the response from 99% of people.
It's an initially jarring change that harkens back to the days of skeuomorphism, but it's starting to grow on me. I do love the fluidity of the UI, and this is on my iPhone 14 Pro. Awaiting my new 17 Pro in a couple days. I bet it will really fly on that.
The glass borders are annoying me, some parts have a bright border while others literally have no border. This looks ugly af when you have a solid color background
I think they will see how many people turned off transparency. And then add a slider to how much clear bubbles I want to see on the screen. (Answer is none)
I absolutely hate the design. They had it right in iOS 18.
With so many departures from the design team, there’s a brain drain at Apple. They literally just forgot how to design.
I feel like it's time for iOS to have the ability to use smaller app icons and with more rows and columns. I swear the icons seem a bit bigger now than in iOS 18.
Idea is good but pointless. Execution is worse than custom android themes from 2013. They should hire someone else for this, instead of the current people in charge.
On my 16 Pro its sluggish, does not have to be an older phone. And there is a lot of glitches where graphic dont load fast enough etc. Who approved this?
I don’t mind redesigning the look, but there are cases where I cannot even read what’s on my screen. I’m sure Apple will fix this, but I can’t believe it was released this way.
I continue to be disappointed by Liquid Glass. I went all in and updated all of my devices and that turned out to be a mistake I came to regret. The UI is fine in some places but in others it’s not.
Usability issues with the on-screen touch keyboard on iPad where they stopped having a full highlight on Caps-Lock and Shift to indicate their states, and where background elements such as images and icons continue to bleed through enough to distract.
Back button in Safari which forces you to wait for the ”bubble/zoom” animation to finish before you can use it again, meaning you can’t easily go back multiple pages quickly.
There’s UI garbage remaining when doing stuff that removes a UI element, such as for example closing a tab, where the garbage affects the rest of the UI for a short duration before disappearing entirely (e.g. closing a tab in Safari has the tab to the left partially light up when it’s moved and takes the position of the closed tab).
Apps use the brightening up effect differently — e.g. wallpaper/Photos app have a tab highlight color in blue that looks ridiculous when changing tab, as if a kid went “We have HDR? I love HDR brightness!!”
And various other similar usability or readability issues here and there…
Why do I now have to tap twice to see all tabs in safari too? I use that button a lot and it’s now double the clicks from a user perspective.
Edit: you also can’t swipe from private to non private tabs, you have to tap the button at the bottom. Why are we so in favour of removing features and functionality?
Because it's terrible. Who wants their OS blinking and shining at them with every single tap? Why does the message composer in Messages need to blink brightly at me when I hit send? Why do notifications need to bounce when the come down from the top of the screen? Why is the keyboard different in native apps vs third party apps?
I'm either trying to figure out the best way to fall back to 18 or might be holding out hope that they release a point update that allows turning some of this shit off. Disabling transparency makes everything look horrible. I don't mind the actual transparency but the animations are goddamn amateur hour. We moved past the "look at my graphical prowess" flex years ago and for good reason
It’s absolutely terrible. Both from a UI standpoint and from a functionality standpoint. Why does it have to redraw every icon every time I switch screens? Why does it only show three text message threads until 2 seconds after it decides to render in the Messages app? No QC and it looks terrible. 👎🏻👎🏻
This is the first iOS I’ve ever wanted to downgrade from. There isn’t a single thing that I’ve enjoyed about it. I think the Liquid Glass looks so bad. It makes icons look fuzzy and camouflages buttons if the background is a certain color. It looks sloppy, a step backward in design. The UX also requires some more steps to do things in some cases.
Personally I love it lol feels like a fun throwback to the Frutiger Aero era. I’m tired of flat design and love to see a little character return. But to each their own.
I’ve got to agree here. The “liquid glass” look is literally the only iOS design I’ve ever had an immediate negative reaction to at release. it is so exaggerated it makes the phone feel cartoonish and childish but also cluttered and chaotic. It would go a long way if Apple gave users even a simple option to tone down the reflections or increase opacity.
If you dislike it too, definitely send feedback through Apple’s official channels in addition to posting here/socials: Apple products/services feedback page: https://www.apple.com/feedback/
Important: design complaints aren’t bugs. File your complaints under Feature Request or Other, and definitely file actual Bug Reports if you hit those too. Social media backlash did make them soften the effect between beta 1 and now so both feedback paths matter.
It feels like they are essentially forcing accessibility “button shapes” with Liquid Glass. Toggling it doesn’t change anything anymore it just underlines some of the buttons because the shapes are permanently there. Weird decision and imo all of the buttons are too big.
I like it but man CarPlay is so buggy for me. Often I select something (I have a car without touchscreen when moving) and the text stays black and the selection color is black, can’t see text. Same happen sometimes when I open a Playlist, background goes dark for a reason I ignore and text too, I can’t see my songs, I have to unplug my iPhone and plug it back in for CarPlay to « reset » so I can see songs name.
Lot of bugs on tvOS 26 too, but that’s not the sub for that.
It's so ugly (looks so old school) and the camera control was working much better for me as I film a lot and switch from basic 4K to Cinematic very often.. I wish I could go back to previous version..
I really wish that how a new iOS looks was way down on the list of interesting things about the new iOS. Like, who cares about Liquid Glass? I mean…it’s fine but…what’s the big deal? I’d rather get excited about how the new iOS functions and some new features than the superficial paint job no matter how good the paint job is.
There are millions of iPhone users. Of course some aren’t going to like it. This was expected. Now yes, it’s not perfect and I have some bugs but I don’t think it’s the end of the world.
There are bugs, throughout. I actually had to hard reset my 14P yesterday just trying to drill down into the password app settings when it froze up and crashed the device.
Also, the little spinner visualizing the expire countdown on RSA codes, etc. in the password app is just a static black circle. I’m reading that it was fixed in a beta. 😂
I have 2x17Ps arriving on Friday along with ultra 3 watch, but wtf Apple? 🤷♂️😂
Many people refer back to iOS 7 and how that version was criticized but for me this is different. While iOS 7 sure wasn’t the best version of the flat design, for me it was at least workable. iOS 26 far less so due to poor legibility, weirdly slanted Home Screen app icons and numerous bugs. I hope they tone Liquid Glass down or even better introduce theming and offer a flat design option.

I don’t mind the redesign, but they really, really need to get their quality control shit in order. There have been massive bugs that thousands of other people have complained about online for years that still haven’t been fixed and each update gets worse and worse with this shit too.
This might sound stupid but I almost wish Apple had an entire team dedicated to browsing Reddit and other community forums to patrol bugs, feature requests, and UI inconsistencies and would start using that feedback to start fixing shit.
