1. Their UIs were never beautiful or really good tbh. The iOS26 is the worst so far, and they really went too far this time. 2. They are no charity, they don't care for giving work to their designers. 3. They won't milk their userbase or long, friends and family are already abandoning their ecosystem due to v26's atrocious UI, I'll be doing so also. Adding more ads to the mix will just speed things up.

I'm not selling my stock just of yet though, as investors like these moves. Layoffs also usually bump the stock price.

Presumably the person who wrote this comment is too young to have used Apple products prior to 2010?
