First Google, now Apple. Leave our fonts alone.

Apple released iOS 9, its new operating system, on Wednesday and people quickly learned that although they want the newest thing as soon as humanly possible without interruption, they don't want it to change that much.

The new operating system came equipped with a new font, called San Francisco -- the same font used on the Apple Watch.

While the two are pretty similar, many updaters expressed disdain for the update's new font.

The font may be nauseating to some for now, but we expect people will adjust to within a mere few days, and we'll all forget what the old font even looked like.
