- It's easy to beat up on Apple, but the new icons are like the "jellybean" glass effect filter was removed. I feel like Apple listened to the complaints and are making the right adjustments here.
- I used to look forward to MacOS upgrades. Nowadays I dread it. Spotlight used to be great for quick look up of files, now it is pretty much useless for me. I am back to using finder and manually looking up files.
I hope things would improve and not degrade further. The updated icons is going in the right direction. More clarity and less useless effects.
- I love the upgrade, except Siri and iPhone Mirroring.
Siri looks like outlined monotone Pepsi, and --- transparent glassy rectangle as a Phone? It's way too abstract (who can see the tiny line at the bottom?)
I appreciate the address update on Mail App.
- That "Stocks" icon is bizarre -- imagine a stocks app where the marker indicating the queried position on a trendline actually had that superfluous refraction effect on it.
- The new Image Playground one captured my imagination. Good job. I can see how the old icon is confusing with Siri or Apple Intelligence or whatever it's called.
- I feel like I need to wear glasses to look at the Tahoe icons. They seem blurry or smudged, out of focus.
- I like it. More contrast in most areas. Better defined. What Tahoe should have been.
The new Siri icon is meh though. Didn’t know what it was at first.
- It’s unfortunate that we can’t settle on an icon set for at least a decade. Constantly changing the icons misses the very point of their function: instant recognition.
This is partly why I’ve escaped to text-only interfaces and monochrome icons wherever possible. Granted, it’s not ideal, but sticking with the icons offers no advantage.
- Enhance. More sharp.
