Anyone else doesn't like modern minimalist icon design? It looks boring.

Boring and same. Harder to use. It is for people who organize their books by the color of covers.

icons should prioritize usability first,and design, intersting afterwards.

if your users need billboards, then your job is to make great bill boards

The current icons really aren't that good. Looking at apple specifically: The facetime and messages icons are almost completely indistinguishable. Get angry and say I'm blind, but so is a lot of the userbase - like legitimately, legally blind people.

The camera icon on iOS is just a fucking camera lens with a grey background. No context.

The calculator one is actually pretty good.

The photos one is also bullshit lol.

		FaceTime is a video camera, messages is a speech bubble. They look nothing alike except they share the same colors?
