It's the book cover." Given the small size, colour is key. Something designed not by UI designers but by graphic designers, with no thought whatsoever to the affordances, consistencies, and visual hierarchies essential to actual usability. This new tab design shows a complete disregard for the familiarity users have with Safari's existing tab design. Apple never has been and should not be a company that avoids change at all cost. But proper change — change that breaks users' habits and expectations — is only justifiable when it's an improvement. That with Safari 15 it actually makes usability worse, solely for flamboyant cosmetic reasons, is downright perverse.

Digging the design, but looking to add more color to your home screen? Check out the gradient color pack that includes app covers for almost every app icon you can think of. Neutral colors have been very popular on my Etsy shop lately! I thought I would create a basic set for this page.

Minimalism and a reference to the beautiful Naruto anime frame in the new custom Pinterest icon. If you still have a better idea for a Pinterest app icon, share it in the comments. A pink-haired Saiki Kusuo from the anime The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. This high-schooler with all kinds of psychic powers holds out his hand through the lens of the Instagram logo to show you the minds and lives of Instagram users. From a usability perspective, every single thing about Safari 15's tabs is a regression.

The Safari team literally invented the standard for how tabs work on MacOS. The tabs that are now available in the Finder, Terminal, and optionally in all document-based Mac apps are derived from the design and implementation of Safari's tabs.

Levi Ackerman is not very sociable and would prefer a short and quick text message instead of a phone call. I advise you to keep order in your messages, and be less messy there, coz the custom app icon with Captain Levi will obviously not be happy about it. Kakashi Hatake from the Naruto anime is well suited for the Setting app icon. A stern, smart and reserved young guy who knows his business very well and is always ready to help others.

And his ashy hair blends perfectly with the icon's gray color. Currently, the anime icon set consists of 59 custom icons. With Aesthetic App, you can now customize your app icons with the colors, themes, styles created based on trend, aesthetic, and fantastic icon designs. Mogus doesn't have business relationships with widget app makers, but she is also capitalizing on the home screen customization trend with an Etsy store, where she sells digital images and wallpaper for iPhone customizers. But now, using a new widget feature in iOS 14 and a creative workaround using the Apple-made Shortcuts app, users can change the appearance of their icons, and basically make the iPhone's home screen look completely different.

It's long been my guess that iPhone is never going to support USB-C. I think it's Apple's intention to go straight from Lightning to wireless/inductive, with no "port". Yet the product design geniuses at the European Commission want to mandate all devices have one specific port in 2024 and indefinitely thereafter — a port that by that time will already be 10 years old. Yes, it gets easier to discern the active tab with more than two tabs in a window, because any confusion as to whether darker or lighter indicates "active" is alleviated by having only one tab shaded differently than the others.

But the utter failure of the new Safari tab design with exactly two tabs should have been reason enough to scrap this idea while it was experimental. Replacing an interface that doesn't require you to think at all with an interface that requires you to think — even a little — is a design sin of the first order. Designs should evolve over time in the other direction. Bring some nostalgia back to your phone or tablet home screen with this retro icons pack.

These pixelated designs are each individually designed and the pack offers over 1100+ icons which you can use for your iOS 15 app customization. I have loved seeing you all send your phone screens with this aesthetic! These fall backgrounds really look great with dark or light phone screen backgrounds. I'm organizing the first screen on my iPhone by color. I need another useful app with a purple icon to complete a row between red and blue. Currently "Half-inch" is taking the last spot, but I don't care for it.

Aesthetic work on all iOS devices running iOS 14+. While users have been able to add their own custom icons since Shortcuts first launched, the combination with the new widgets feature has enabled a significantly higher degree of customization than was possible in the past. The new iOS options match features long available for Android devices, which typically allow users to change nearly everything about the software's appearance. Prior to iOS 14, iPhone users were forced to have their apps in a grid of boxes.

Macro photography on the iPhone 13 Pro models is also a lot of fun. It's almost like gaining a super power — the ability to see small objects and details far more clearly than with the naked eye. The way that macro mode kicks in automatically, though, can be a little jarring.

How it works is, with a 1× field of view in the regular still photo mode, when you bring the camera very close to a subject or surface, the Camera app switches to the 0.5× ultra wide camera. You get a roughly 1× field of view but a very close focal distance. The jarring part is when the viewfinder switches between cameras — it's like a jump cut.

It's understandable, and doesn't dampen the utility or fun of the feature, but it's a little weird every time you see it happen. It makes it feel not quite as automatic or modeless as Apple intends it to feel. Also, the built-in Magnifier app (Settings → Accessibility → Accessibility Shortcut) doesn't seem to use the camera's macro capability. For reading really tiny text — like, say, some of the hidden fine print on U.S. currency— it's far easier and more effective to use the Camera app than the Magnifier app. The model with the biggest physical change year-over-year is the 6.1-inch 13 Pro.

This year, the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max share the same camera module. You can both see and feel the difference on the 13 Pro compared to last year's 12 Pro, or to any other previous iPhone in the "regular" size class. I strongly recommend not upgrading, unless you've already tried the new tab design and like it, or at least feel ambivalent about it. Updates like this are why I always turn off "Automatically keep my Mac up to date" in System Preferences → Software Update.

My theory is that Apple carefully weighs the pros and cons for each port on each device it makes, and chooses the technologies for those ports that it thinks makes for the best product for the most people. "What makes sense for the goals of this product that we will ship in three years? And then the subsequent models for the years after that? " Those are the questions Apple product designers ask.

Some really odd legal decisions and laws coming out of South Korea lately. Would they be going after app store payment systems if the dominant one belonged to Samsung? There's no ambiguity because the tabs are visually connected to the rest of the browser chrome, and the browser chrome is rendered in a way to make it visually distinct from the web page content. There's no ambiguity because the first job of any tab design ought to be to make clear which tab is active.

Safari actually debuted as a public beta in January 2003 without any support for tabbed browsing (which, humorously, I was OK with— the tab habit hadn't gotten its grips on me yet), but within a few weeks it had tabs. Apart from that brief weeks-long stint when it debuted as a public beta in 2003, Safari for Mac has always had tabs. And those tabs have always looked like tabs, because why would anyone want to make them look like anything other than tabs? There are certainly a lot of ways to style tabs in a UI.

Try different browsers, try different windowing OSes, and you'll see many different takes on tabs. Even the Safari team at Apple has experimented with various different tab styles — most famously, in 2009, when they put the tabs at the top of the window for Safari 4's public beta. It was an experiment Apple wound up abandoning, but they didn't need to — it could have worked well with some tweaking, as I explored in a copiously illustrated post at the time.

These illustrated color icon packs are perfect if you're looking to keep your colored aesthetic. The icon designs are hand-illustrated and offer a playful look to any home screen. A simply designed pack that offers white and black icons in over 500+ different applications. I have seen some gorgeous monochromatic home screen aesthetics! It almost looks as if your iPhone went black and white.

That's right, it's the kind and nurturing wolf Legoshi from the anime Beastars. I wonder if Legoshi is here to buy his favorite egg sandwiches or if he's just out for a ride in the cart. But overall he looks funny on a custom Amazon anime icon. I've been dreaming of taking a ride on the magic cat-bus from the great cartoon My Neighbor Totoro since I was a kid.

That's why there can only be such a custom icon for the Uber app. Every time I call a cab, I'll be hoping that this amazing cat-taxi driver will be waiting for me on the road. To run like hell in Naruto-style, we may still need a map. To make sure that running is in the right direction. We decided to combine the Naruto hero with Maps app icon for all ninja running fans. This colour is associated with nature, healing and life, but is now so closely connected with the environment that Hambly warns clients who want to use it that they had better really be "green," or customers may feel misled.

It's also the colour of money, making it a common choice in financial sectors and for "utilitarian" apps like Messages, FaceTime and Evernote. "It's your safe, 'It's going to do what you need it to do, but you're not going to have a wild time' colour," says Garnett. Many of the older, more traditional app logos are blue—Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype.

It's the most popular colour on earth, associated with peace, confidence, integrity. It feels very social; it's that feel-good colour," says Garnett. Blue is never a contentious choice—but its popularity means it won't stand out in a crowd. Logo design is important for all new products, but it's particularly crucial for apps, where you only have a square centimetre or less of "shelf space" in a digital storefront. If you'd like to customize your own home screen, first you'll need the latest version of iOS for the widgets feature as well as the Shortcuts app, which can be downloaded from the App Store.

While Mogus' designs use a cute and feminine style, she says she's received requests to create iPhone tutorials for different looks, such as a minimal theme or more masculine color schemes. Over the weekend, iPhone customization went viral. One video titled "How to make your iOS 14 home screen aesthetic AF" had over 24 million views on TikTok on Monday. The more impressive year-over-year improvements are in battery life, and I think that's largely about the efficiency of the A15.
