Worse. It's doing shitty text mining, which is something they usually do pretty well at (seeing it's their core competency).

No-one complains when Apple messes up their cloud data storage (well, they do, but most people just say "OK, local storage + Dropbox still works"), but if the next iOS looked like a late 90s Java UI it wouldn't be a good sign.
