I honestly don't even know why I'm paying attention to Apple at this point, I think it's like digging my nail into a freshly scarred-over cut, just to tease that sting out a bit. It's the only way in which they have ever contributed to my feeling alive.

    I only "follow" because whatever Apple does gets broadcast by every media outlet in existence. Also Google started blindly following Apple design since they killed my beloved blob emojis.

    The blob emojis were one of their best features, that's so true! I kid you not, every single time I've used Slack for work, for every single company which used it, someone had already uploaded the blobs! I really didn't understand that move, the current Smile emoji looks psychotic.

    Did they? MD2 and MD3 look very different from Apple's design languages

    Google themselves don't really follow material all that closely over their entire product line.

    Android 6 was basically the peak of the UI, IMO, the icons were very consistent and nice early material.

    In later versions they shrank the icons and stuffed them into circles and started using a horrible color scheme, then they killed blobmoji and started outright copying Apple's hideous emojis with that awful gradient and pseudo-skeumorphic visuals.
