I'm not an Apple user, but I am genuinely curious.

@cy From the screenshots I have seen, it does not appear to be friendly to those of us with very poor eyesight. But I'll never purchase an iPhone, so my opinion really doesn't matter.

But it makes me a bit sad that the company that talks about usability so much, appears to have abandoned accessibility in the name of, "oooh! pretty!"

@Bumblefish Grades for sleep?

Smartwatches used to be cool. I used to use the hell out of my Samsung back in the mid 2010s. My wife got me a Pixel a few years ago to replace it, and..... it is garbage. I wear it for the step counter at this point, and I am constantly telling it to stop asking me to activate a Fitbit account.

I cannot wait until the day I no longer need a smart phone for work.

I am seriously looking into The Minimal Phone.

@alexanderdyas I literally have no stake in this issue. I've just heard so much bitching about LG, I thought I'd ask. I've never owned an Apple product, I'm not about to start now.

@nuintari I hate it. How can I get rid of it?

@karhutar No idea, not my ecosystem.

@nuintari I have an iPad still on iPadOS 18 until I'm forced to upgrade it because I don't like what I've been reading of iPadOS 26

@nuintari As a person with reasonably normal vision, etc…

All I can say is: I don’t love my phone or its interface enough to get too worked up about it either way. Took a day or two to adjust and then faded into the background.

@nuintari I need to tolerate it, as the only alternative to Mac in my company is Windows and god forbid I use a copilot OS.

@paride5745 Wait, does LG exist on MacOS as well? I don't stay on top of Apple products, I thought it was just an iOS thing.

Frack, I'm about to get issued a company issued machine, and my choices will probably be Windows 11 or MacOS. I don't like either, but I'm even less thrilled about MacOS if it is just going to be hell on my eyes.

@nuintari Indeed, now is not a good time to get interested.

@nuintari yep, since the last major version. Weirdly, I’m mostly ok with it on iOS, but on Mac is an eyesore.

@nuintari I installed iOS 26 on my iPad to test it out and threw it in the closest within hours. Since I can't downgrade it's now useless to me. Now you can't pay me to upgrade my iPhone to 26.

@nuintari Grades for sleep. Last night I got 96%. I lost four points for waking up for less than a minute several times throughout the night. Tonight I have insomnia so I will fail sleeping.

This is the most nonsensical thing I have written in recent memory.

@nuintari well yes I think I’ll get rid of iphone, finally. Apple is rotten

@Bumblefish It'd probably score me about a 55%. I woke up at least three times last night, plus I tossed and turned for what seemed like hours.

@nuintari reducing it with accessibility settings where possible - thus not getting angry while using my phone (nor does any of my close relatives - heck - they didn't even realise anything changed ‍️)

@nuintari I'm a Mac only user since 1996, and I ha... dislike Liquid Glass from the bottom of my heart!

@nuintari
What is it?
Don't need it.

@nuintari my job handed me a Macbook when we got bought, our IT team updated it to Tahoe, I physically recoiled when I saw the new UI
