I’m currently using the iOS 26 Developer Beta and noticed the new icon design for the Camera app. Personally, I preferred the previous icon it looked cleaner, more elegant, and felt more in line with Apple’s signature iOS design language.

The new icon feels more like something you’d expect from Android. It lacks the minimalist, refined style that usually defines iOS icons. I understand UI evolves over time, but this change feels like a step away from what makes Apple’s design philosophy unique.

Just wanted to share this honest feedback as a long-time user and developer. Thanks for considering!

I guess you don't remember the icon from iOS 6 and earlier.

Well, umm, thanks for the feedback...

You do realise (don't you?) that these forums - where you were able to sign up as a not-employed-by-Apple person - are not where Apple's employees hang out and discuss what they're doing in the platform code?

If you have a suggestion, you can raise it at: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/
