Good on Apple. Just read about a teenager who harmed himself to the ultimate degree after he was tricked into sharing photos of himself and they were used in combination with AI to produce horrendous material. Unbelievable wrong and sad. Hopefully tech gets better and better at protecting kids from the evils of this world.

Oh. Joy.

Or actually, Oh Jony.

Can't figure out how to integrate a feature into an app in a clean, effortless, intuitive manner?

Toss it out.

Or rethink the whole process. Apple used to be top notch at this. Lately, feature creep just gets tacked on without an experience reinvention. And it’s making Apple more and more like everyone else. 

It won’t matter without great quality (at least console level) games to play. 

Interesting. Looks like the greedy may have hurt themselves. If you're going to push people out of their protective ecosystem, you better make it compelling.

Nasty. After all the moving forward, we are going back to skeuomorphism? Please God no. It was fun for a long time, then we moved on to a more authentic, refined, and clean UI/UX. This just looks like a giant backwards step. 

Skeuomorphism never left iOS. Perhaps you don’t use Calendar, Calculator, Notes, Wallet or the number of other places it is present in iOS or maybe you are confused on what skeuomorphic is. The latter is pretty common. 

Incorrect. when you update to a modern version of iOS, get back to us. Each of the apps you list are flat as a pancake in iOS18.5. Or...perhaps YOU don't use those apps. Or perhaps you don't know what skeuomorphism is and are confusing UI with UX.
