Apple Readies Dramatic Software Overhaul for iPhone, iPad and Mac



"The revamp ¡ª due later this year ¡ª will fundamentally change the look of the operating systems and make Apple¡¯s various software platforms more consistent, according to people familiar with the effort. That includes updating the style of icons, menus, apps, windows and system buttons."

Thanks Randy, this is good to know. I¡¯m surprised only that Apple have taken this long to do this. Perhaps it will make Macs more appealing to those who otherwise like Apple stuff but not the Mac?

I wouldn¡¯t be surprised to find that it has been in the works since the introduction of Apple Silicon.

I¡¯m sure that¡¯s exactly what Apple is hoping.

It might be a wild thought since the first iPhone or iPad. They have been slowly leaning that way for a long time, but Apple has lots of experience counteracting resistance to change.

Guys, guys. You were started down this path long ago.?

Don¡¯t believe me, then open Sys Prefs on your Mac. You can¡¯t if you are running a macOS higher than Catalina. You have Settings instead.?

In 2020, Big Sur was released, and it was a big step to merge masOS and iOS, but not the first step.?

I lingered back on Lion too long, so it was a shock when I had to move forward. Right now I am stuck at Catalina. And it was a shock. I had to learn a new vocabulary and different ways to do things. I hate that things are hidden unless you are hovering over them, with no clues of where to hover. Examples, close tab in Safari, or add additional (?something to due with mailboxes, senior moment) in Mail.?

The 100 plus Settings makes me think of bloatware, Windows and MS Word, not ¡°Simple, and it just works.¡±.
