MacOS Big Sur: Flawed Design?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2020
- This is an overview of "MacOS Big Sur" BETA 1.
Things will shift a bit through beta iterations, but these are my thoughts on the overall design principles and "language" put forward with the new version of MacOS.

Apple on Fiverr: "Hi, we need a battery icon, budget is $10, thx!"
Hahahaha
😂😂
Underrated comment
🤣 i think this what's happen
What a coincidence to see you here. I know you from the Tesla community.
Design team: How heavy should we make the shadows?
Apple: Yes.
More like YEeNoeEs
That sounds like a Mark Zuckerburg response.
Somewhere Jony Ive is laughing.
Rudra Somewhere, Jony Ive is facepalming 🤦♂️
Great video, dude. Thanks for the shout. Totally agree on the contrast issues. The icons are... well... they are what they are but at least they're readable-unlike the menus.
I feel like Corona hit the designers cause they experienced a "loss of taste"
I'll show myself the way out
Jesus 😂
Don't leave me! Don't leave me!
Savage!
Truth hurts..

When he says "In summation" and there's still 6 minutes left, absolute king shit
Lmao. I can’t stop talking. 😂
That battery icon is just... 🤮
About the icon your right. We'll I saw in a video of macOS big Sur someone in the comments section said: The Battery icon looks like a dead 2009 android phone.
0:07 My cat after eating some medicine.
That QuickTime icon is...wow
Uh yup 😂
Best use of claps since ‘We Will Rock You’
😂
lol
I’m really struggling to understand why they would go backwards in terms of icon design. The gradients make everything look outdated, and being surrounded by cleaner icons makes them stick out even more. Why would they do that?
Window's new design language (fluent design) and Google's design language (Material) demonstrate neumorphism perfectly. Flat iconography with realistic shadows and lighting. Apple's iOS design also demonstrates neumorphism beautifully. What the hell happened here.
Windows is a design mess.
Microsoft is working their ass off for the design. Yeah, the implementation is not smooth but the quality exceeds Apple, imo. At least as of now.
I think the Windows design is very messy. Different icon design style everywhere, in start menu, in windows sidebar, toolbar, etc for example.
@@kamilstudios see new insider build. They completely changed windows design.
I like skeuomorphic design. Flat is shit
I personally though the re-design was lazy, they took IOS design and implemented as much as they could with Mac OS, I don't like it.. Apple's answer to this is that "you'll get use to it"... lazy....
Lazy? of course they took things from iOS, just to make it uniform! So MacOS and all the other OS’s are uniform. And just relax this is the FIRST beta. some icons are just an placeholder that is going to be fixed later on!
For an update that steals from iOS, they really managed to miss out all of the great parts of iOS design
I feel like Apple designer are just trolling. They need something that makes others talk about their products as this gives them free marketing. Then they will fix it in future updates.
Well the guy who designed this is also the guy who designed iOS 7, an OS version whos overall design and function was quickly changed within the next update 😂😂
All press is good press
@@spencerrr9878 But at least iOS 7 was a consistent and uncompromised design, and although people sort of hated the super flat/shadowless design, future versions of iOS only slowly added depth and shadow back over the years.
@@puddingmango well yeah, I dont mind macOS Big Sur (besides that damn battery icon) but ik a lot of people HATE Its design so they at least have hope it will change.
Spencerrr ah I see your point
I like most of the UI. The transparency and rounded corners look really good IMO. But some of the icons really stick out. Forget that they are ugly, they just don't go with the rest of the design.
Keychain ehem QuickTime ehem ehem
Exactly my thoughts. I expected something like this when Jony Ive left. After seeing how dark mode was implemented on iOS/iPadOS (complete blackness instead of shades of gray, as in macOS) i knew they went into direction of what people think they want, instead of uncompromised design (and that's weird, because that complete black looks awful in most places - run 2 dark apps, side by side on iPad. They change to light grey and look so much better). If you think about it, this is just going back in time. Widgets, return of 3d. I like overall flatter shell and getting rid of all those gradients from headers, but there is so much wrong there...
Shitt I cracked up when he couldn’t find the 4k option for Yt😂
It’s only available rn for HDR videos. So lame right 😌
Yeah RUclips only encodes HDR videos in AV1
I agree with you - what a mess of a design! It's like someone walking into the kitchen blindfolded, grabbing 10 random ingredients out of the fridge, throwing them into the pot and saying "Dad daaaaa! Dinner!" A "Dog's Dinner", more like!
By the way, just to critique your critique - you talk about redundancy but preface your thoughts by offering us an "initial first look". Redundancy! You can't have a second first look! First is initial! I know it's a thing people say on RUclips but....redundancy!
Idk why they made a huge update like this I really liked the way Mac os looked before the update, it was a great competitor to Windows but now it looks like iPad os on a laptop or monitor
this video was awesome, the editing and humour was on point.
🙏🙏
Everyone: simple=good
Apple: yes but G R A D I E N T
I feel sorry for the person who designed that battery icon and thought they did a good job...
that person does not deserve pitty.
How did I not find your channel earlier? Your content looks dope. Keep up the good quality content!
6:47 Livingbobby always husslin😂😂
Wow, the best Big Sur design evaluation. Love you man!
As a massive Apple fan I agree with everything you say. It feels like a windows update, like they’ve spray painted the surface and not actually focussed on uniformity and consistency
i loved this vidéo the passion for design 🥺
Solid guy with a solid video. I just love the way you make videos. 🌊
Wow, man I really like your style of making the video. I feel lots of natural perspective in your video
I love how you pointed the visibility/translation to smaller icons. Def a well vetted review
#skeuomorphismisoverparty
Didnt know I can learn some design principles by watching your videos. Love you!
I can't agree more with everything you said in the video. I just can't understand what happened... sounds like bureaucracy ate everyone's brains at Apple and the designs just went through, nobody cared to check them out.
The messaging and video call icon are fantastic
That battery icon is giving me anxiety! Also, the messages & facetime ones look very huawei
What the hell were they thinking? Probably after Jony Ive quit, the rest of the design team just went crazy and did whatever they wanted out of rebellion.
Fellas, you shit the bed on this one.
I dig the basic setup in this video, just the Mac and good info!
Getting the popcorn because I know this is gonna be a good one🍿
i look forward to his follow up video, and if the final version changes in any way
That intro is clean, nice job
🙏🙏
Privacy is sadly by so many people underrated: like „nice to have, sure, but is it going to improve the usability of the UI?“ 😅 it‘s an aim to protect our identity beeing a product!
The 4K option won’t show up if your display can’t play 4K... maybe try hooking it up to a 4K monitor to see if it shows up?
The Mouse option in System Preference is gone?
YAY, been crying ever since skeuomorphism left the building. Good thing everything does come back eventually. 👍
Spicy hot takes fam 🌶🔥💯
u're the man brother, greetings from brazil
Your rant is 100% warranted.
And I mean 100% where the "100%" text is hovering over a three dimensional cylindrical version of a flat iconographic representation of a batery with a semi-cilinder on it's side that you cant't really tell if it is really meant to look like it sticks up higher than the volumetric batery icon's outer hairline or if it's just a failure in conveying that shape's volume, which seems like not even the designer knew exactly where exactly anything over there stands.
10:26 when my teacher finally finds out that I have zoned out during class
6:26 "one of Apple's pride-and-joy icons" lol too funny. I LOVE your visual example at 10:09 too lol I HAVE to sub now
exactly… especially control center, JANKY
I miss mavericks it was the last one with the skeuformsim design and I loved it.
Why do we have a slider for brightness? I have a Touch Bar
can u scroll the sliders incontrol center?
Does it have the same iOS control panel crap that turning off bluetooth doesnt really turn off bluetooth
i’m kinda new to his channel. i love him already, pls keep talking
🙏🙏🙏
I saw this new design as the first post-Ive steps. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one with this thought :)
Yeahhhh I miss Jony boi
@@BrandonHavard His narration will never again be matched :(
💡 You should redesign a window and show what it could look like. Would be interesting.
So I think a simple way to summarise my feelings,
Apple you’ve turned my Mac into an iPad, and I’ve tried using iPad and iPad apps to replace my laptop/desktop and I don’t care for it, touch/mouse are very different inputs and they don’t work well together
iOS 7 was very confusing when it came out but iOS design and usability is so much better now. Same thing could happen to macOS in a few years. Also, iOS 14 had new icons and widgets in keynote but they aren't in iOS 14 beta yet.
This is his W̶o̶r̶s̶t̶ best video yet
11:04 is a great quote 👌
Please make a video just about Iconography.
Hell yeahh 😂
This is the kind of videos I subscribed for, not that other sh** you do. Thank you
shit like this?
If touch is used as control centre, what happens with MacBooks that don’t have a Touch Bar?
They still have the actual control keys on the keyboard 🤔
Finaly a new vid *_*
Can they please bring Jony Ive back
Yo does Brandon seem a lil more jacked to you guys??
His arms got a nice work out, after all the table pounding they were doing during the Keynote.
Lmao. I’ll take it. 😄
well said !
We're all gonna get used to this eventually. This was the exact same reaction when iOS 7 ditched the skeuomorphic 3D icons for flat, colorful icons. And we all got used to that. Same thing applies to OS X Yosemite.
Nah. iOS 7 was almost universally embraced and welcomed by most designers. Most naysayers were laymen. This is completely different.
Yep i didnt like io7 design either when it came out but eventually got use to it to me ios6 looked a lot nice.
Face Time and iMessage icons actually look amazing. Finally some 3D effect
looking at more and more of BIG SUR it looks like we will get a touch screen mac at some point
The thing with watching 4K video natively in RUclips is probably going to be an update. It's happening, just not in beta one apparently. :)
Fair enough. I’ll be counting on it. It’s all I want. Just gimme that 4K pls
I don't hate it. I like the idea of it. I agree with most of what you pointed out. All of it can be fixed and made to be consistent if they hear enough criticism and choose to adjust. We can only hope.
I'm applauding you, finally someone speaks truth! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Just a thought... this weird control center... on Macs with a Touchbar, can't they just after clicking on it make the control center appear in the Touchbar? They could make every option appear in the row... and the sliders would make sense suddenly. What's in there now seems a substitute for Macs without Touchbar. EDIT: OOOPS you mention that too 😂
For sure It will be a touch screen next year (I quite like the concept that is floating around of an Iphone 13 that can run MacOs and be plugged in a Laptop frame)
I love the battery
"It looks like Android Gingerbread"... Ouch!!
Worse thing is, he's RIGHT! The whole drop shadow and texture feels like Android design from 2010s. Not that they are the worst, but Apple can do better.
Newmorphism. Never heard the term before. Thanks!
Besides the battery icon, i really like the new design
It would be pretty cool if you reviewed Gnome design!
4k on ios and tvos (pending youtube updating their apps) but not macos safari yet
I kinda like the battery icon
Appla innovated the 3rd Axis of dimension this year. *Revolutionary*
One more fun fact : Apple will never change touch bar strip icons and... Now you can think about it.. Why keyboard button look different?
I completely agree with you. It's is not functional and simply beatiful at the same time. That's a shame. The key power to Dieter's Rams design, embraced later by Ive, was to create something very clear to interact with in such a clear and simply way to just looks beatiful. Those overall design seems leading to a strange direction. I mean, maybe simply use the same language to iOs and macOS.
I usually have concerne about neumoprhism, since those examples you brought in lack on relations between elements, hierarchy, which lead to confusion.
Generally speaking this looks like an "in progress" work, that needs to be fine tuned following some main principles.
You can indeed play 4k videos in safari but only HDR content which is odd.
Are you really talking about usability on an OS that doesn’t give you a calendar when you click on the time?
Big Sur removed the only thing I used the “Notification Center” for: the calculator. Come on. UI/UX isn’t even close to iOS. It’s just the result of the portion of the sales iPhones vs Macs cover.
Design for software hasn't been front and center since Steve passed away. He seemed to be the only one with the eye for every detail in design that no one has stepped up to the plate on since. iOS 7 was the first stumble and hasn't been consistent since iOS 6. Now the Mac will follow in iOS 7's footsteps. IMO.
they did my boys dictionary, quicktime, and font book dirty
As always, agreed and also glad with Jonathan friendship - he's a kind person to notice my recommendation.
To give back to karma, would you people work with *Snazzy Labs* ?
This is windows 8 by Apple, I think they might be going to unify OSs with the usage of ARM chips in the near future, same for example for the new thermal design of new macbook air, I am so excited and I think this is so not apple but if they made it right I think it could be an amazing future experience.
Big Fan Of Your Work #BH 😍
🙏🙏
More for Beta 2 Developer please
Not upgrading to Big Sur! Let them fix this shit.
I was speechless when I saw this battery icon 🤦🏻♂️
Notifications icon looks like it could be from Windows XP 😂
You’re not wrong 😂
Fun fact : Apple will never gonna change these icons whatever we do or say, afterall we'll have to be used to it and time by time they slowly update them
why is no one talking about the fact that this can be viewed in 5k like what
This video is good.
