Sorry but any article about what internet users are saying about any topic is not real news. It’s not even noteworthy.

Pretty sure it disappointed most people
Not Apple fans though. They can't wait to use their new Vista!
Aqua, an OS X theme from before you were born
I thought it couldn’t get better when System 7 had color support. It was such a revolution. Then Aqua came along and everything changed. Liquid Glass looks pretty nice to me but I’m mostly just glad we’re getting dimension back. Material flat UI is a stain on the world.
I share the same feeling. The flat lifeless interfaces need to go.
I think there was some sort of color support prior to System 7.

System 6 includes QuickerGraf (originally QuickerDraw), system software used to accelerate the drawing of color images on the Macintosh II.
Hmm. Apparently System 4 had color support, which is earlier than I expected.
...it wasn't until two years later in 1987 that Apple introduced color with the release of the System 4 & the Macintosh II.
Here's a photo of a IIcx with a color display:
They’re going for X with L-aqua-d Glass, but look at 7, so brutalist chill
This was 4, my bad, both tho
It’s SO cool!
Get the fuck outta here with that! Any red blooded microphile knows XP was PEAK windows experience. The lower opacity of windows in Vista was a bright spot in an otherwise disgusting experience.
XP was “the Linux” of Windows releases… 🤘

I just checked the Apple website and it doesn’t really look any different to me.
I can see there are changes, but I don’t even know if the average user will really notice it.
Almost certainly they won't. But yeah, you're ruining the joke.
Did the same thing the other day, there’s like some minor icon redesigns? Otherwise this mostly seems like people made up stuff.
I saw some things in the videos, but I guess I don’t really care about design too much. So maybe that’s why I don’t care. I’ll have to ask my wife what she thinks.
Yeah, I used to be a typical Apple fanboy circa 2010, always watching the WWDC like I’m going to church.
Keeping up with Apple over the past several years has been very hit or miss, and watching it yesterday just kind of pissed me off.
The platform saw more than 20,000 mainland netizens express their discontent over the new design.
Halt everything!! 20k people saying things on the internet!!
Liquid ass
This article really needs some illustration of what the new UI looks like, and what the old one looks like for comparison
the new one looks like shit.
I bet it's going to drain more power, since you have to render all the diffraction in real time...
What people really want is less control and cat videos. Perhaps a screen with two knobs on the side...one for the volume and the other to change the picture?
We're all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:
One of the greatest videos ever.
If this were an optional "skin" of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don't like the design direction, nor the performance implications
And most other consumers, I would wager.
Those damn corners weren’t round enough yet, thanks Apple designers👍
Sorry, I really don‘t mean to be rude or hurtful, but from all I‘ve seen and I mean ALL I‘ve seen Chinese consumers have no taste whatsoever. Yes, their manufacturing has become great if they actually care about something but this argument is not about stability. What I mean is the more a company relies on the Chinese market and tailors their commodities abd luxury products around Chinese consumers, the uglier they become. Just look at European cars lately. Hideous. So yeah sorry again but I take that as a seal of quality for Apple‘s UI design.
I knew it. I knew someone would manage even the most innocuous news into a "China Bad" take.
