Sorry but any article about what internet users are saying about any topic is not real news. It’s not even noteworthy.

The platform saw more than 20,000 mainland netizens express their discontent over the new design.

Halt everything!! 20k people saying things on the internet!!

And most other consumers, I would wager.

If this were an optional “skin” of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don’t like the design direction, nor the performance implications

I guess I’m from China then

Sorry, I really don‘t mean to be rude or hurtful, but from all I‘ve seen and I mean ALL I‘ve seen Chinese consumers have no taste whatsoever. Yes, their manufacturing has become great if they actually care about something but this argument is not about stability. What I mean is the more a company relies on the Chinese market and tailors their commodities abd luxury products around Chinese consumers, the uglier they become. Just look at European cars lately. Hideous. So yeah sorry again but I take that as a seal of quality for Apple‘s UI design.
