Apple is at the first major cross-roads since the passing of its late co-founder Steve Jobs 12
years ago. It finds itself still largely dependent on the product lines and businesses that Jobs left behind. Its Vision Pro has received mixed reviews on launch, while it is also facing several other headwinds including a major lawsuit against what the DOJ claims are its anticompetitive practices.
It only seems dated because everyone had this shitty flat interface crazy in the early to mid 2010s. Nowadays new, somewhat flat, but also skeuomorphic design languages like Fluent and Material 3 are getting attention
personally, i can’t stand either fluent or material either - the modern components and design language i keep coming back to is ant.design
anything skeuomorphic is just a huge waste of space - they add so much detail to the screen that has no function other than signaling “real world” application
