Apple just rebranded Windows Vista and somehow calling it innovation 🙊 Just sat through WWDC and couldn’t help but laugh. Apple spent two hours unveiling “Liquid Glass” translucent, floating glass menus, wallpaper‑matching lock screens, frosted blur all dressed up like a major breakthrough. But let’s be honest: this is Vista Aero, patented 2006, rebranded with slick marketing . Microsoft dropped the glassy look years ago because it was resource heavy, visually noisy, and frankly outdated . Yet here’s Apple acting like they just cracked the code on transparency in 2025. Floating menus that radiate out of tapped buttons? It’s a neat touch but hardly groundbreaking . Meanwhile, real competition is doubling down on AI agents, adaptive interfaces, voice-first OSes and more. Real innovation. Apple? They’re renaming OSes to “match the year,” tinkering with UI polish, and packaging nostalgia as novelty . They’ve mastered the art of illusion: take something old, gloss it up, sell it at a premium, hype it as “broadest design update ever” . Most will fall for it. But if Aero taught us anything, it’s that style without substance doesn’t last. This is style nostalgia, not forward progress. And Apple’s asking us to buy the same song on vinyl again for full price. So tell me: Are we celebrating real advancement or are we just mesmerized by reflections and forgetting we’ve seen this before? 🌝👑

Calling it a mere rebrand ignores two decades of performance and optimization leaps. Vista was notoriously resource-heav, also, Apple's version operates with far greater fluidity and efficiency. Innovation lies in perfecting, seamlessly integrating and executing designs within a cohesive ecosystem, delivering a superior user experience. For many, this level of polish is the advancement.

Agreed that this by no means is "innovation" but you will have to look at it with the perspective of the tech giant. Consumer tech (esp. mobile phones) have hit a plateau. There is not much these companies can really change anymore, the time of 2-3x improvements in processing speeds/screen ratios/battery is gone. Most companies are trying to hide this problem by getting on the AI hype train. AI is alright, but I don't see any groundbreaking AI features that google/samsung have been able to produce (that people are using regularly). Apple is sticking to its age old stratergy of letting other companies beta test a new tech, polish it and sell as a disruptive idea. Where apple went wrong was to announce "Apple-intelligence" last year. Whatever reason they had (pressure from investors to get on the AI bandwagon), it was a wrong(& misleading) step. You must have seen the recent ultra-thin phone launched by samsung.(Leaks suggest apple is trying to do the same) Nobody asked for it but here we are. This is all a play to hide the stagnation of consumer tech.

Call me crazy, but even a trillion-dollar company like Apple is distracted, introducing unnecessary features like Liquid Glass that compromise readability. What they should instead be doing is catching up to the AI race. But no, they’re calling “Th

Apple products used to be very beautiful and special, but now that seems to be gone. It feels like Apple only focuses on making the battery better and adding small features. The exciting and new ideas aren’t there anymore.
