AlgoRythm4990722h@D-4got10-01 the original isomorphic design was pretty nice for the time. The flat icons were really nice in my opinion, and when they started adding that glassy material I did really love it.
But making everything out of glass is so tacky and difficult to read. Oh well. -
12bitfloat1051721h@D-4got10-01 I think it's pretty nice looking. What was really bad was their first gen "flat design" in iOS 9 or something... got damn did that look bad

D-4got10-01132115h@AlgoRythm, @12bitfloat:
What can I say, to each their own.
Some people like Apple's design choices && that's fine.
Personally, out of the three contenders at the time, I really liked the Windows Phone's tiles the best.
I do tend to like the sharp edges more than the rounded ones.
I also prefer legibility to clutter, 'nice', && 'beautiful' effects. -
AlgoRythm4990715h@D-4got10-01 funny you should mention clutter. The tightly tiled windows phone design (I had both 8 and 10 winphones) really made me feel claustrophobic and the non beveled edges made it seem like they were all connected in a mosaic instead of individual units on a panel.
Android was pretty rough looking at the time. I still assert that iPhone really looked the best, even if the early versions of their flat design fell a little…
A little… fla- -
I personally like the design except the control center which is absolutely dogshit. Even with glasses it's hard for me to read through all those overlapping
Wow, the new iOS design... looks like shit. It's hard to read text on top of the "liquid glass" and it's just sort of ugly looking.
