This makes me think how fucked it is that we really only have 2 choices. Android or ios. And Android isn’t really getting any better. And it shits me it’s owned by Google.
Are you sure it’s not getting better? This morning, my Pixel updated to take away all my corners again. It’s been what, 4 years since they last made everything rounded and bubbly? My wifi bar and cellular bar are now different stacks of noodles. Improvements nobody knew they needed.
Wait what.
Can you show a picture?

Pixel, specifically. My 7 is what just updated. Blur through drawers. At this point, I can’t remember if my app icons were already circles, but now I’m looking at them now again and still hate them. Sliders now have detached bar indicators. Cartoonish status icons. It’s another step into iPhone styling to, I guess, tackle a market demo that thinks the phone market is Samsung vs iphone.
How is that much different than the last 50 years?
At least the US government was trying to fix it back then.
