allisonios user interfaces have become truly nihilistic. buttons on top of buttons. text on top of text. multiple inscrutable hamburgers. nothing has any meaning and all human action is futile
the weird big-bun hamburger in the upper right corner opened a menu with a truly bizarre set of options: display all animations, translate to japanese, activate automatic summaries
Owen@aparrish That looks suspiciously like the version of Safari's user interface you get if you open Safari from inside of a persistent web application (share/add to home screen).
Wild to see it inside of what I assume to be a "real" - first-party, at that - application.

Trammell Hudson@aparrish mastodon has helpfully added some more floating buttons to make the screenshot even more nihilistic.

Pete Prodoehl 🍕@aparrish I've been seeing some weird overlaps but I assumed it was because I have a 6 year old iPhone and that was just my punishment for not upgrading.
Jason Lefkowitz@aparrish In fairness though, I wouldn't mind fewer podcasts and more oddcasts

Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷@aparrish This happens when apps get vibe coded, the robots are worse at GUI layouts than CLI developers.
Or when one does the unthinkable and modifies the font size settings, which apparently nobody ever tests.
Phil Haigh@aparrish I’m convinced that the internal code make for iOS 26 was “just ship it”.
Tachibana Kanade@aparrish @cstross To clear the current text field, just press the X in a circle to the right of the text field. To exit the current view entirely, just press the X in a circle to the right of a text field. Simples!

A Republic, while we kept it@aparrish I'm old enough to remember when Apple prided itself on ease of use and intuitive GUI.
DressToKILT@aparrish "all human action is futile"
I feel like we were explicitly warned about this in 1989.
🄻🅄🄽🄰@aparrish been using an iphone as a secondary 4 a couple o months and i really dont get how people can take the suffering the ui brings upon them
like all the animations and transitions look super slick (if they dont bug out) but even if they do exactly as u want they take 4everr
if they do what u want
