- Apple is shifting from its traditional 'my way or the highway' design philosophy to offering users more interface choices.
- Examples include Safari's location bar options in iOS 15 and Mail's List View mode in iOS 18.
- Recent updates, like the Phone app redesign, emphasize optional changes to reduce user frustration.
- Apple acknowledges that drastic changes can be jarring, given the critical role of smartphones in daily life.
- However, maintaining old interfaces risks calcification, making it harder to introduce future improvements.
