Nice. I like. 

It’s an old and used UI that’s from 2010. 

It really is. Cheetah/Jaguar. It's very clearly an update to the old Aqua UI.

In defense of that, Aqua was insanely amazing when it came out. Nothing like it before or since. And this is a nice, modern way of bringing it to today's marketplace. Overall, I think it's the right way to go. sometimes the best way to move forward is to respect the past - especially when the past was so good. 

Like cheetah and Jaguar, some aspects are overdone. they will balance these in future updates. right now, it's about making a big splash. 

AQUA 2.0.

Looks absolutely fantastic in some ways.

And a total backwards step in others.

Overall, I think it's a win. Better than I was expecting.

but readability in some cases is hurt a bit and focus is hurt a bit. Seeing redacted video and imagery in areas where there is not need or usefulness is a bit off-putting. I am sure they will address that in future updates. But overall, it's a really nice, classy look. 

Pro and con to this one. But far more pro than con. 

They should go back to cat names: macOS Baby Jaguar.

In static images, the UI looks kinda mid. but in motion, it's simply amazing.

China gonna China. But it's not like everyone is clamoring for th current version of Apple's AI.

You're right that the current AI from Apple won't sell products. Which is exactly why this is so important to Apple.
The smartphone market in China is so big that 1% extra market share locally = 1% extra iPhone sales globally. It is the most obvious path towards growth for Apple.

Apple under Cook dropped from #1 to #3 in market cap. Other companies have outperformed Apple and this certainly doesn't help.

Other companies have indeed outperformed Apple in AI, but only in AI. Apple has them beat literally everywhere else. Apple is navigating a fine line between ethical and unethical AI development. google, Open AI and others have just devoured content whether they should or not. In the case of Google, you really are the product, since you agree to give them your content for whatever purposes they want when you use their services. Appel is above that. And people can use Google or Open AI, etc. on apple products, so it's not really a big deal to be behind. the key to remember about apple is that they aren't always first to something. But once they dig in and go after something, they are usually the best. So we will see what they do. I don't think they'll be live-blogging the next wave of AI at all. I think they'll return to the more secretive Apple as the blabbermouth Apple has hurt itself a few time. The Chinese government isn't the most friendly player out there and Apple has navigated that through investments and appeasements. But now, as usual with totalitarian regimes, they are making it harder. The upside is that people don't buy Apple for AI. They buy for reliability, performance, ease of use, aesthetics, privacy, and security. And they can always use the AI of their choice on that best in class Apple product. It's the same principle as using Adobe Creative Cloud, MS Office, etc. Apple doesn't make those, but people prefer to use them on Apple devices.

Actually visionOS looks way better than this rendition. if they just took the visionOS UI and ported it over, even that would look better than this. The only issue is that it's not needed and costs more processing power than necessary and seeing through the background is a bit distracting on desktop. I don't need to see my blurred wallpaper all the time. Maybe focus mode will eliminate that. 

Hopefully Apple solved this in a way that makes sense. 

He shouldn't have thought he'd beat Apple at all and should have simply honored his legal and binding agreement.
