Round edges and a Windows Vista era soft blur?
I can't think of anything more generically Apple...
It feels pretty silly to protect UI design to that extent. It's as if I started designing a website for a client, someone passing by took a screenshot and showed someone my design. Then I sue that person for... not keeping design secrets? I dont understand how apple can prove any damages besides maybe being owed the ad money on that video. And even that is a stretch, and not worth the lawyers' time in my opinion.
- Apple's whole business model is creating hype around their products. And if this hype is preemptively damaged by leaking secrets that would otherwise feed the hype, they clearly are negatively affected by this. I don't say any of this is good, that's just their business model. And capitalism of course...
  However, in this case here the youtuber imo didn't really reveal the product itself, but only a mockup version. Shouldn't that be even beneficial to Apple? I'd think creating all this buzz around the "leak" is just one way to try to get more hype going for them.
Not sure why they’re so upset about their ugly new UI that everybody is going to hate
- Apple fans would like even "Liquid shit with fart bubbles UI" if it would be released by Apple.
  
  I don't love apple or anything but I got tired of the flat 'revolution' that was forced on everybody for no good reasson. This looks like something interesting, harking back to when UIs were interesting like older windows tried. Or older macs that were glass like, at least on their maximise, minimise and close buttons.
  A lot of UIs are boring nowadays, I dunno I want something more interesting, I only have one apple product that was given to me, so it isn't like I'm a fan or anything, I'd welcome any interesting change no matter the OS, company or development team. I remember even when linux had those really interesting effects for X like cubes changing between virtual desktops etc, those were fun.
  So no, it isn't because "it's apple" at least not for me, and as someone else pointed out, most apple users will actually hate it. I just love change and innovation no matter where it comes from.
- Honestly I liked the way windows vista looked
- Not everybody.
  
  I was doing Apple support the last time they changed the interface (iOS 7, 2013) and the number of Apple customers that called to complain or ask for a way to downgrade was pretty surprising. This upcoming change looks worse IMO
