For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    One part about this you may be surprised about is that the random updates to software tend to be pushed by UX designers in my experience.

    They want to do “something”, and that’s something often is changing something that currently works. Or pushing for design that goes against UI best practices because it’s their pet.

    …etc

      As a former UI I artist, I wholeheartedly disagree. The interfaces and operating systems that I’ve struggled with recently go against human interface guidelines. It’s more likely that middle management is creating projects to make themselves seem more relevant. Or, in the case with Apple, my assumption is that upper management is trying to push all their other devices towards synergy with Vision Pro - a product which has yet to hit market and find acceptance.
