Despite what I said in my previous posts about it being really REALLY white and how it relied on some sort of psychological ninjutsu that no one understands (I.e. The blur effect)…it feels really good to use this OS.
“After what, Windows?” You ask. No…it just feels..it gives me feels…I have feels for this…not in a sexual way…I just have FEELS…
I think it’s the mental model it uses. A mental model is something that needs to be used more often something that a developer uses to help make the user experience consistent. For instance, the mental model for iOS 7 is (I think) glass panes in a 3D space.
It’s executed really nicely, and while I’m somewhat beauty-deaf (although I have a proficiency for it when I’m designing something and I can appreciate it), it just gets me in the right spot.
My complains still stand however. Just in case you thought I was brainwashed by Apple’s awesome shiny perfect happy…yeah.
[While I was writing this, I realized I was getting a case of burn-in on my iPad screen……weird. And it only happens when the area is covered with a solid-color blur effect? What?]
