It's just enshittification.

Going to continue to get worse as time goes on.

Even the hardware will go at some point I'm betting.

It's just entropy. It takes a special kind of person to be able to fight it in a big org. Jobs, Musk et. al. are assholes but they do manage to push their vision through. Probably because they are assholes.

It seems like apple is missing a design dictator

Jobs and Musk are CEOs; of course they can push their visions!

That’s not what enshittification means.

Somehow its usage has quickly devolved from a very specific pattern companies used to squeeze “value” out of their customers over time into just “something getting worse in any way” or even just “something I don’t like now but I did before” which is not at all the point.

Liquid Glass has worse performance implications, which is bad for older devices with slow processors, and older devices with older batteries. It's also very difficult to use on older devices with smaller screens, like the 2022 iPhone SE. Further, Apple stopped making it possible to upgrade to minor releases for security patches.

All these give someone a reason to replace their otherwise perfectly-working iPhone sooner.

Last time pointed that out here, Cory Doctorow himself popped up to tell me it's okay, we don't need to word police other people.
