Pedantry time: Fitts' Law is a law in the same sense as Newton's Law. Fitts' Law is an established model for understanding how humans interact with objects. If you're jumping on a trampoline, you aren't <i>breaking</i> the law of gravity, but you're certainly using it to some effect.<p>Similarly, if you decide that your button positioned at the edge of the screen actually <i>shouldn't</i> be an infinitely long click target, you aren't breaking Fitts' Law. You might be doing it with Fitts' Law in mind, or not, but Paul Fitts' ghost isn't waiting in the shadows to prosecute small buttons. Some actions should be difficult!<p>With that said, they definitely screwed up here, but I don't like when we're like "but Fitts' Law" and act like that proves our point on its own. If they wanted, they could "Fitts' Law" right back at you.

About infinite edges, on Windows I can mindlessly drag cursor to the top-right of the screen and click to close current window. Bottom-right edge means minimize all windows. Bottom-left click opens menu if you left the Windows button there).<p>This reduces cognitive load when operating the mouse. I miss that on macOS.

Not sure what the name pf the law is, but OS X and later broke the UI for anyone with a working spatial memory.<p>I’m not surprised they’ve also broken the pointer for anyone using a trackpad or mouse.

I don't believe that a lot of the people designing Liquid Glass even know what Fitt's Law is, or why it matters, or why it should be respected.

I switched my iPhone and iPad to iOS 26. Talk about amateur hour. They took something which was refined and industry leading and turned it into... meh.<p>Of course the competition is the folks who made the logo for their OS a trash can and are oblivious to what that means. That's how they can get away with it.
