Apple's products are getting harder to use, ignore principles of design (2015)

The massive amounts of white empty space in iOS 7+ makes me long for the skeuomorphic days.

The dark theme helped, but should have been an option since day one. Pre iOS 13, the sheer amounts of white space drove me nuts.

And why did they remove visible UIButtons? I miss the real days of iOS.

As a developer that meant a ton of work to fix the UI of my existing apps. Just a floating blue word instead of a real button. You used to just drag a UIButton into Interface Builder and call it a day, the current default is super confusing.

Apple's hardware recently improved by reverting some changes done over the last few years. Many attribute this to the departure of a certain designer that was also in charge of iOS 7, so I feel like there’s hope.

Windows 10 too, it tries too hard to look chic. I've tried many it many times but I always return to 7. And the font is just always blurry, I guess you either use 4K display or don't use 10.
