The iOS portsĪpple is freeing iBooks from the iPhone and iPad and bringing it to the Mac. Instead, Apple focused this time on new apps for OS X.
Most of the other core apps haven’t changed much, and Messages and Mail are more basically the same apps as ever. Apple’s redesigned apps should have received redesigned icons, and the result leaves things feelings slightly old-fashioned. As much as people disliked iOS’ new icons, there’s a certain cohesiveness about having all the styles match up. The Notes icon is still a yellow legal pad, which looks odd against the improved design. Notes has also lost its skeuomorphism, replacing the fake yellow-lined paper with a subtly-patterned off-white sheet - though it’s still just an ultra-simple app that syncs with your iPhone.īut for all the design changes, Apple forgot about the icons. Contacts now looks more like an email client, with a column of names on the left and detailed information in a larger window on the right - a big improvement over past versions’ book-like design, complete with fake binding stitching. Contacts and Notes also received much-needed facelifts, but little more.
