Apple introduces a universal design across platforms

There is a 'Reduced transparency' mode which you can enable in system settings. Safe to assume this will still exist in the new OS versions.

This will be a massive improvement in usability over flat design, which made UIs only learnable by trial and error.

I don’t see a lot changing about the problem of labels and active controls still being hard to distinguish, and the like.

there is a setting labeled “increase contrast” under Accessibilitt > Display & Text Size. That may help? i haven’t tried it.

It helps only in some limited ways, while also making some elements look more ugly. It does too little to solve the overall issue.
