Apple lost the plot on design after Steve Jobs died and Jony Ive assumed full control.
It's not Jony Ive's fault. That's the nature of their partnership, he created and Steve Jobs edited. Ive, of all people, probably lost the most when Steve Jobs died.
It's all been downhill ever since. Ousting Jony Ive and putting Alan Dye in charge didn't help.
The problem remains: there's no longer an editor in charge.
Apple fans like to think that they've recovered a little since the iOS 7 debacle, but in reality it's just self delusion.
Most people's reaction to the iOS 7 design disaster was: "ooh this feels like a whole new phone".
So there's that.
As someone who also do interactive articles from time to time, I'm wondering what is the tech stack you are using to make these?
But it was just a first try, lots of things are still unoptimized. I'll try to do better in a next article.
