Things run in cycles, so I’d like to think we’ll get some sanity back in design, but designers work for companies, and companies like to make money, and no one makes more money than Apple. And Apple is downright obsessed with the bad version of “less is more”. And of course the worst thing of all is that it is far easier to copy than to innovate, so these shit designs are here for a while.
That sounds really interesting! I hope future product/UX designers see those kinds of videos and we can see a return of more ‘creative’ designs.

Thankfully, Apple seems to be going back on the ‘less is more’ thing that Jony Ive started; at least when it comes to stuff like their laptops.
