It’s…fine. I miss the direct skeuomorphic design language of the older iOS.
Ever since about the time of Windows 8 I felt like all computers were just designed for other computers.
The skeumorphic days of the early 2000s were nice, and gave things a bit of character. The current trend of having everything be flat colours is fine, but does lose a little bit of that whimsy.
Admittedly, part of it might also just be that the grass is greener. We could easily be saying the same thing in reverse if we were still on the gel look of the time.
