Redesigns of anything can prompt a negative reaction initially, and UI design is no different. A major change to the layout of an app can make something you've been using comfortably for ages suddenly feel confusing and unfamiliar.
With that in mind, I thought initial criticism of the Apple Photos app redesign in iOS 18 would blow over once people got used to it. But it hasn't. Two months on after the release in September, not a day goes by without dozens of people taking to social media to complain about how much they detest the new layout (looking for Apple deals?
