The Conspiracy Theory of the Apple Icon Change

When you put the badge on an iOS icon, that does also change the shape of the icon because the badge is able to stand on top of the little corner. I'm just not entirely sure I buy their arguments that, oh, people were having a hard time seeing the badge so we had to immediately change the icon. That's my little bit of a conspiracy theory that this was a planned roll. You're never safe from cortex. No one. We see you, Slack. How you doing, Mike? Pretty jet-lagged, but I'm warm again.
