If he's pissed at this, imagine how pissed he'll become when he enters the ridiculous Android ecosystem.

Anyway, he's free to choose whatever, but I have to nitpick here:

1. macOS 26 - a fiasco? Come on. A lot of like the liquid glass. On macOS I hardly notice it, but on iOS is actually beautiful to me. Also a long time macOS user, since 2003 btw. You can always dampen it using accessibility settings.

2. Age verification ? First time I've heard of it. Also on latest iOS. But then I'm also not in the UK.

3. "Interfaces built with AppKit or SwiftUI that rendered perfect, are now overlapping controls and clipping stuff. They have no consistency at all in terms of icons, placement, corners…". I'm all for constructive criticism. But where are you seeing this? I've got 8-9 apps open and none are inconsistent in my view. I'm picky about these things too. Genuinely I'd like to know.

Agree the icons are unnecessary and silly. Apple should know better.

The corners haven't bothered me much, I like seeing a bit of a gap down there, and I haven't had issues dragging it but that could be because I'm using a regular USB mouse and not a trackpad.

I've been a macOS user (or OS X rather back then) since 2003. It was truly a blessing to finally get a proper UNIX™ on the desktop. I was on Linux in the 7-8 year period before that.

Everything after Snow Leopard has been downhill in my opinion :3 macOS still my favourite unix but it started feeling is no longer my unix anymore, I'm just a glorified tennant.

		My favorite was Mojave. Ran it way too long and I was 3-4 releases behind. Second fave was Panther, the good ol' days. Never did much System 8 etc but we had it in school on one of the Mac labs.
