> I'm reading this to say that custom UI components will be replaced with UIKit components that will be customized to have Google's design language. But at a high level, the apps will continue to look the same as they currently do.

Yes, going back to the source Twitter thread I also believe that's the correct conclusion. Jason Snell and Steve Troughton-Smith misinterpreted the deprecation of this Material Design implementation to mean that Google was deprecating the use of the Material Design design language on iOS.

In reality, Google is building a new Material Design implementation on UIKit to get better OS integration and a bunch of capabilities (such as accessibility features) "for free".

Yeah, I don‘t expect a drastic shift, but I would expect some details, like the weird material tap animation, to change for the better. Maybe the youtube app will support all iOS screen sizes with their safe area insets and properly sized toolbars. That‘s the kind of thing that the people who write about apple care about.
