People at my company are like "why are we wasting screen real estate with white space?" and I imagine they see the last image is an ideal UX
We're currently trying to convince our client, that 4 different levels "mandatory" fields in a form are about two too many.
The UI they sketched looks like shit, but they think it's absolutely necessary.
But there was this one customer, where it was so helpful to know he's left handed. So now this is a necessary information /s
And then the logging shows that nobody uses half the fields, but the business won't let you remove any.
The flipside is that all of the stuff you actually use is buried five levels deep.
And the flip side of that is that the stuff you actually use is spread over 5 pages worth of scrolling and requires you to read like 100 labels until you find the text boxes you want
Apple/Google/Other Companies way, way over-do this. Clean, modern design is one thing, but avoiding all text, making things too small to see, and being unable to tell which option is highlighted, etc, all at the expense of the actual UX is such an annoying trend and I'll never like it.
I'm a Millennial so of course I don't have a lawn, but get off it anyway...
I don't necessarily agree that they way overdo it, but I do agree those are all examples of bad UX design.
They're right
