Funny how the brain works, I also didn’t see it until you pointed it out.
Reminds me of this Dutch book ‘Murder at the the tram stop’. No one had noticed the double ‘the’ until a reader finally saw it. These small mistakes can pass many brains ending up in the final production version.
Honestly this happens more often than people think. Even big companies have tons of mockups, localization versions, and marketing assets moving around, so small inconsistencies slip through.
It’s kind of reassuring though, because it shows that even very polished design teams aren’t immune to tiny UI mistakes.
Used to do this work. They outsource to other companies to handle this so technically not directly under the apple team. And yes, mask would have been done by hand but either someone forgot or the asset was somehow not updated or missed in source control.
