macOS 11 Big Sur vs Catalina Icons - Final Version 

Well to be fair macOS 11 is heavily inspired by iOS 14 in so many ways and the icon change is really just another example of it. They clearly tried to distance it from the previous OS X / macOS 10 with these new icons and I personally really like them

coming from a new mac user when macos11 just came out, it helped me a lot since so many things were similar from ios, and it only took me a few days to learn the system. If I got catalina, I would have taken me a lot longer to learn.

I do agree though, that the catalina icons are more aesthetically pleasing, but I think big sur was just for new users. They should make an option to go back tbh

@@krishn13tv getting a new macbook soon, macos will seem alot like my phone, so i may learn it faster. lol

Yeah Big Sur looks like an iOS device imo

Same

And in my opinion Big Sur looks better.

*Press X to doubt* My controller: i can't send the input cuz it's not freaking connected! Ok I pressed X 9 times

I feel like it looked good for a bit, but it started to get old. Big Sur is one hell of a fresh coat of paint in my opinion and really unifies the Apple ecosystem just one step further.

British*

@@StevenJames124d he actually meant that it's almost really 3d it's just a little bit 2d for him he sees it like it's 3d so that means he said 3D-ish

I don't like it, I love it.

@happygamer352 totally agree

Books, Contacts, and Dictonary: Who cares anymore, just straighten up the logo.

@@SpaceSysZ from Windows of all things

That is pretty much useless as the icons are almost exactly the same but just with depth and shadows and slightly more detail.

@@phaserx3294 True

facts tho

Catalina... HA! Nobody Cares Of It! But Big Sur Is The Only One That Everybody Cares!

Mavericks looked way better

@@DeviceLover614 yes.

it looks really fun in my opinion i like that it matches ios now

I feel like most of the hate is from the fact that people can't deal with change. I like the new icons tbh (well most of them) - and it brings more consistency with IOS which is good.

Still better than windows 10 shit

@@axetrollyeah with the gross start menu

@@axetroll ikr

Yes this !

I can see why you'd like the design of OS X Lion, but dude that hasn' been updated in more than 10 years old you're probably very vulnerable to cyberattacks and you will probably get a lot of compatibility issues soon. There's some graphic shells that can be installed on modern MacOS that make it look like older versions such as Lion or even Cheetah if you really want the design

but 3d

Dude why you want the old icons back??? It’s more better the Big sur....

@qqxyz its only the finder icon that makes me do that

You can just remove them with the original Sprites by going into their files

@@thechanneliguess yeah you can change Mac app icons unlike ios

iOS is actually smartphone version of Mac OS X.

But really tho i think they did good with the icons

except for finder...

@Manciv my PC is trash I want the specs of the macbook too

@@NobelTech Even now that I checked on Apple’s server status website and it says the issue was resolved, the update is still not downloading for me. Guess I’ll just have to keep trying

I know, it’s so frustrating!

Or combine them by letting the rocket blast off by launching the blocks

@@0mar_sh that could work too.

bruh, how?

Anyway opnions r opnions

@@bngmapping the gradients and shadows are just terrible

I can definitely agree that the face time is atrocious the shades on it are just to unnoticeable

Mail is fine, the others you mentioned aren't.
