Apple and Microsoft trends show design focus on content over interface elements. Despite good intentions, Apple’s approach blends UI and documents too much, leading to distractions. Pages on macOS has evolved with less contrast and clearer controls in older versions. Current designs lack differentiation, making UI less intuitive. A call for Apple to explore new design variables to clarify tool distinctions is suggested.

Mac External Displays for Designers and Developers, Part 2

, ,

Mac external displays for designers and developers have seen little change since 2016. Apple re-entered the display market in 2019 with the costly Pro Display XDR. The LG 5K UltraFine remains a popular option but faces stock issues. The 2022 Studio Display offers a viable alternative, similar in specs to existing high-end displays, although lacking some advanced features. Key factors for choosing a Mac display include pixel density, color space, bit depth, brightness, local dimming, HDR, refresh rate, and color accuracy settings. The article emphasizes the importance of running macOS at optimal pixel density for clarity and details challenges with display scaling. Suitable external displays are mostly high-end, covering wide color gamuts and supporting high bit depth for better color representation.
