They seem to have completely lost sight of the fact that a phone is a tool. I don’t want ‘springy’ animations when I tap a button, I want my tool to do what I intend. I don’t want notifications that ‘subtly’ stretch when I dismiss a different notification, I want the dismissed notification to go away and the others to close up around it.
What I do want is a phone that works securely, quickly, efficiently, doesn’t waste battery on nonsense, and doesn’t distract me from what I’m doing. I guess we get ‘pretty’ geegaws instead.
