Michal Marek It will only be a year since Apple last changed the system font in OS X. According to server information 9to5Mac however, Helvetica Neue will not warm up too much on Apple computers, and in the next major version of OS X it will be replaced by the San Francisco font, which Apple developed specifically for the Apple Watch. In addition, the San Francisco font should also make it to iOS 9. So if the forecasts are correct 9to5Mac will fill in, Helvetica Neue will disappear from Apple's mobile operating system, where it arrived as part of a major redesign associated with the release of the flat iOS 7, exactly two years later.
The major redesign of OS X, which brought a more modern look to the user interface along the lines of iOS, was received quite well by the public. However, it was the Helvetica Neue font that caused some criticism. It is nice and modern, but with the lower resolution of the display, it loses some of its readability. San Francisco, on the other hand, is a font that, for use in the Apple Watch, was created with the goal of being perfectly legible, no matter what size it is rendered. Interestingly, Apple has already used the San Francisco font outside of its watches once, on the keyboard of the latest MacBook with Retina display.
In connection with iOS 9, which should be introduced already June 8 at the WWDC developer conference, then there is talk of one more important news. The Home application could appear in the new version of iOS, which Apple employees are reportedly already testing. The application should be used to install smart home products, divide them into different rooms, connect to Apple TV or even search for new products to buy.
It's possible that the Home app is just an internal product that never reaches users' devices. North 9to5Mac however, he does not consider this likely. The application is said to have its commercial potential and is designed to offer users the most interesting products and applications to create a smart home.
With its HomeKit tool, Apple intends to create a background for the operation of smart home products that will be able to be controlled through third-party applications and through the Siri voice assistant. People who then buy such smart products might need a simple tool to install them in their home. And that's what a separate Home application could be used for. Recently, Apple said that the first HomeKit products should arrive as early as next month.
I know it's not exactly Apple's custom, but they could give users a choice of at least 3 fonts for example. Then, in addition, the given device would acquire a greater "personification", with which Apple likes to argue...
Debugging the layout of all text in all applications for multiple fonts is difficult. As long as it looks professional and not like a toy. So I agree with one font.
That and 2 variants would be a change, however, I have good experience with Android in this regard (I think there were 5 fonts to choose from at the time), so the feasibility and final form was OK.
A feature that was common in the 90s under MacOS-9.
I hope that it will happen that the new OSX together with iOS will be better only in performance as snow leopard used to be, according to speculations. I totally regret installing Yosemite. Continuity with handoff is a nice thing that I will use from time to time, but I hope that they will no longer be stuffed with enhancements and widgets and will focus purely on performance.
I don't like it at all
