Thanks for reminding me how good old iOS looked.

Right > Left #facts

Yes you can. You can downgrade to iOS 6 every device that supported it as long as it has a jailbreak with tfp0 enabled

Different design trends. Designers will eventually get fed up with Flat UI and move on to something else.

MIPS for bitmaps and vector graphics for everything else is how it all should have been from the start.

>>62140448
it's odd how as the displays went up in res, the UI assets just became simpler and flatter even though the skeuomorphic icons would really pop on IPS due to the finer detail

goddamn you Jony Ive.

>>62140448
Apple is the only one that gets the flat design style right. Microsoft and google's new designs look like garbage. Even then wish would could go back to the early 2000s 3D and glass stuff.

Microsoft has already moved on.

Left one looks like shit. I never considered buying an iPhone until they changed it.

while flat doesn't look the greatest, I think its the best option as a default theme because its the easiest to keep elements uniform. back in the day on iOS even if the default design looked nice there was no design consistency among third party apps so it looked really fucking bad.

that designer is a retard, he almost could've done it right but went off to make "brutalism lmao" jokes instead
it doesn't simplify forms right, and those borders everywhere? come on.

we're moving toward PURE TEXT PURE CONTENT interfaces
black on white text only, or white on black, even less useless chrome.
everything, every single piece of text will be actionable
apple and samsung are leading the way, and who would've thought that touchwiz would actually be better than stock android now
apple has cleanest layouts, and samsung is moving towards using the text instead of ambigious icons

of course, windows phone 7 pioneered such interface and it's still the best

we need shit more like on brutalistwebsites.com

Brutalism is off-putting to normies. That reason alone is enough for it to never go mainstream.

>>62142197
That's a stupid decision and I wish it would go away.
First letters there don't give you new or meaningful information. Neither do random colors.
Thumbnails make contacts more glanceable and recognizeable.

If there's anything to remove in that picture, it's the arrows next to the relative date. And that edit button, it's stupid both in it's placement and function, it offers you to select multiple conversations and mark them as read or delete them, which could be done through tapping the thumbnail or long press/3d touch. You also could replace that icon with text.

>>62142077
Who the fuck started the circular avatar trend anyway? There is no way to make them not look hideous.

>>62142535
it's already being used by some normieish websites-- see vice news and bloomberg. it's only off-putting if it's done poorly

>>62142611
WTF. That shit just suddenly came out of nowhere.

I can see it working for contest with a serious tone. But I wonder how women especially would prefer an iPhone with that.

>>62142478
I know, I've seen it, that's why I said it plays out like a strawman and a joke. It doesn't offer better design, which could be done with a right approach and use of that idea. I hate that cocksucker.

>>62142566
Yeah, sorry mate, but it's now a fundamental part of some design languages, if not all of them. "People are not square", shit like that. Even MS has adopted that.
It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that such types of items - people, artists, and other things like apps and content just don't get presented together in a mix. It doesn't remove any ambiguity.
It does look more "harmonious" and self-contained though.

i hate the internet's new found fascination with "brutalism" as an aesthetic, because it's 100% completely wrong.

If anything it's some new form of neo-modernism that takes some ideals from brutalism, but generally falls more into the modernist and post-modernism set of ideals.

Brutalism is 1000% utilitarian in design, almost to a fault. in UX design it would look nothing like all the websites that claim to be designed based off of it's principals. Honestly the closest thing to true brutalism is >>62142077, as barring certain elements (like the circular avatars and bold, over designed headers) it still boils down to function first and form second.

So something like this spotify redesign is the closest thing to accurate really.

>>62142663
hell, craigslist is "brutalist".
one could argue that mobile wikipedia is (it's actually better than normal version now, even on desktop).
you wouldn't normally call instagram brutal, but it's design is very, very clean. google is very clean as well, if you hate rounded corners that much you can disable border-radius everywhere
did you really never notice that?

the "brutalist" concept is a sham anyway, mainly because it isn't even a proper concept

>diagonal text
Fuck that. (that fucking prick oh my god)

Okay, you know what, I'm actually angry enough to do it myself.

I'd really like to have it display full album name, because even though scrolling text is a convenient solution, it's user-hostile and annoying. Eh, anyway. It's the source that is diplayed there, be it a mix, an album or a playlist, so maybe it makes sense to place it there, and not down below the track name and artist. You could, though, but then you'd get album name spelled out twice quite often. Their system is more about individual tracks with less regard to albums, it kinda feels like that. Also, it could be just redundant information as the album art is there.
You don't need "more" button, both the track name and artist name should be actionable by themselves.
>devices available
Well, now what? Which devices are? What can I do about it? The fuck.
I know I'm kinda disregarding spotify's device system, but you're just casting your music anyway.

is brutalism like forced 2000s era website tier design? thats horrible.

>>62143310
You can't argue that diagonal text and borders are better.
It might. Not all of them, like search icon, but text could replace fucking paper airplanes, boxes with arrows going in all directions and shit.

I remember having a 1G iPod Touch and jailbreaking it. I think it was running iOS 1, and you had to visit a site in Safari to jailbreak it.

Good times.

>>62144071
this is objectively false because jailbreaking was a long a tedious process until the website jailbreak.me was released around the time of the iPhone 4

Like fuck they are. Properly designed icons convey their meaning instantly and are compact. Your retarded meme text crunched together on a handheld device is not. Brutalism is fucking retarded, even cavemen were not this fucking stupid.

>>62150030
Short single words are just as easily and quickly recognizeable as icons.
Also, mostly you don't actually "read" the word letter by letter, but recognize it by it's shape as a whole.
If the icon is some uncommon, nonstandard bullshit it will actually take more time to understand it, leading to frustrations like "the fuck does that thing mean", deciphering these fucking designer hieroglyphics. (Or you fucking long press or hover to see a tooltip to fucking read what the button does when it could've had it just spelled out right there instead of icon.)
Look, I'm not saying we should replace all the icons with text, but in some cases designers really should've just done that instead of coming up with some incomprehensible monstrosity.

Anyone has that screenshot of macfags saying leaked screenshots of iOS 7's UI were bullshit because they thought it looked like shit and Apple wouldn't adopt flat design?
