🎨🧠 Gruber's latest masterpiece: a riveting novella about Alan Dye's hair color, artfully disguised as an insightful analysis of corporate musical chairs. Spoiler alert: Apple isn't shedding a tear, and Gruber's #sarcasm levels are off the charts. 🍏👋

macOS Tahoe has almost completely ruined the typography palette, which is sad because it was SO IMPROVED in Sequoia, as @nickheer noted last year: https://c.im/@nickheer/112111864231807304

There’s a *lot* of talk about how great it is that Alan Dye has left Apple. I agree: UI design has been a disaster under Dye. Liquid Glass on the Mac in particular is a train wreck.

But as I’ve said before, OS X Lion was when the Mac UI began to go downhill. Reduced contrast, full screen mode on maximise, the death of Save As in favour of the useless Duplicate … the UI decay began long ago.

As with macOS Tahoe, there were lots of great technical improvements. But for users, especially novice users, it was a backward step followed by further backward steps.

Let’s hope that starts to reverse, and quickly.

It's all change at Apple as design chief Alan Dye leaves the company for Meta. For his blog, artist and designer @louie writes about how this, and the departure of iPhone designer Jony Ive in 2019, might not be a bad thing. Why? Under their tenure, Mantia argues, "Apple shifted away from making products 'for the rest of us' and started making products that appealed specifically to rich people."

Oha! #AlanDye verlässt Apple und stattdessen übernimmt Lemay (nie gehört aber er soll echter, gelernter UI/UX Designer sein und im Kollegium gut ankommen)
Ich glaube zwar nicht, dass das Glas nächstes Jahr wieder ausgebaut wird … habe jetzt aber Hoffnung, dass jemand die UI VERSTEHT und auf dem Mac mal wieder die Scheiße aufräumt die da entstanden ist 🫣

Meta poaches Apple design exec Alan Dye to lead new creative studio in Reality Labs

Alan Dye Leaving Apple For Meta

Changes keep happening in the circular halls of Cupertino. The latest, as reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, is that Alan Dye, the vice president of Human Interface Design who gave us Liquid Glass and the Vision Pro interface, is leaving Apple to head up Meta’s design team responsible for hardware and software for all of Meta’s offerings.

Longtime designer at Apple, Steve Lemay will take over Dye’s responsibility at Apple.

According to Bloomberg:

With the Dye hire, Meta is creating a new design studio and putting him in charge of design for hardware, software and AI integration for its interfaces.

He will be reporting to Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth, who oversees Reality Labs. That group is tasked with developing wearable devices, such as smart glasses and virtual reality headsets.

Dye’s major focus will be revamping Meta’s consumer devices with artificial intelligence features. He will serve as chief design officer for the group starting Dec. 31.

Dye follows other recent Apple departures including Jeff Williams and John Giannandrea amid speculation about Tim Cook’s possible departure as CEO. Apple has also seen other departures of some of its design talent over the last few years.

You don’t need a looking glass, liquid or otherwise, to know that these personnel changes perhaps presage different thinking on the horizon for Apple’s product lines.

Frankly, I think we’re all looking forward to some change ahead.
