I've been using Sonophone on iOS since all this kicked off. Not great, but it works. (For me Sonos breaking NAS media server support was killer, and Sonophone can handle it).
Had this not happened sledgehammers would have been going through speakers.
I would still prefer they rolled back to the old app, or made it as an optional re-release.
You can roll back to the old app and firmware. It does take awhile to do but it is listed as "Sonos S1" in the app store.
Because it is older it has problems with dark mode/light mode. But it is as fast and reliable as ever.

It definitely exists.
It isn't an island, despite having Island in the name. But that's true of Coney Island as well, and it also exists.
In the Bay Area there is Alameda Island, which didn't start as an island either...

It's only barely one today.

Ahh thanks, glad you liked it! We made it internally with the help of a video editor.
This does look really good. Do you mind if I ask which one you used? Thanks!

The Alan Dye era at Apple has been the worst for me. Basic UX concepts like Fitts Law are ignored for the sake of "simplification". Finder notifications with tiny click targets that only appear on hover are something that wouldn't have stayed around for multiple OS revisions. Discoverability is lacking everywhere.
Having close buttons on the left side and the right side of tabs depending on state (like the number of tabs in Safari) is something that following the Human Interface Guidelines wouldn't have allowed.
I love innovation and trying new things – but the styling improvements shouldn't ignore the basics. There will always be new users who need to see what is possible in order to navigate.
1. Tip – Uber and Lyft cost 20% more than the ride price.
2. Car quality – Sure, a Corolla on Lyft is cheaper than Waymo. But once you select something desirable the price goes up, a lot.
