Letting Scott Forstall go has been the biggest mistake of the Tim Cook era. None of his replacements has shown anything like his ability to build and retain a strong team of software engineers and designers, guide their work, and create great products.
@uiarchive Newsstand was fun! No, I wouldn't trade my iPhone 13/iOS 15 for an iPhone 5/iOS 6, but sometimes the modern iPhone UI feels uninspired, and down right boring when compared to the early versions. Skeuomorphic isn't all bad, right?
@backlon Couldn't agree more. The great thing about Dashboard was that it used the whole screen. In fact, if you had more than one display, you could assign Dashboard to a specific display, even leave it up. It's stupid to overload a quarter of the display with widgets & notifications.
