Apple Books 2022, in pictures

Apple Books 2022, in pictures

2022-10-27

My review of the new version of Apple Books, in pictures with captions.

Did the hamburger menu and the dot-dot-dot menu have a love child?

The proud father, currently living with his new “roommate” on apple.com

The proud mother, although estranged from her husband, can’t deny that the new icon has his strong parallel lines.

I’ve dubbed it the Carelessly Discarded Burger King Crown icon.

I think you’ll agree.

If you don’t like the new icon, at least it’s partially covered by this stack of burgers.

You don’t have to stop reading your book just because the new “menu” is on screen. This is known as “reading between the menus”.

The long-awaited new control is finally here: TextFieldPushButtonDraggableProgressSlider.

No need to worry. There’s a TransientHoveringTableOfContentsView that appears when you start to drag.

The new options panel really cannot be missed. I drew a green oval around it and everything.

If you previously had trouble hitting the narrow font size buttons, you’re going to love this new version.

Don’t worry if the sample text doesn’t match the book. It’s close enough. Aa for Eefort as they say.

Wow, that is some riveting sample text! From a part of the book I haven’t read yet.

This is what a “forward” button looks like.

This is what a “back” button looks like.

That’s all for now.
