On: Liquid Glass Is Cracked, and Usability Suffers in iOS 26

[prody]

In summary, Apple messed up, they had nothing to present this year, so they came up with a bad design and passed it off as "revolutionary". This is the kind of thing a failing company does. I'm sad, I'm an Apple fan, but they are pulling scams for years instead of actual developments.

This seems like a minority perspective, but while (or maybe because) I was really prepared to hate Liquid Glass, I actually quite like it, all in all.

I can’t speak for people with visual impairments, but for me, many of the effects actually work, and I appreciate the on average larger hit targets.

Some things, like the little icons inline of some macOS menu bar items, actually make it easier to quickly spot a given option in a long list to me.

It definitely feels like they needed something, anything, to use as a marketing tool following the Apple Intelligence false advertising debacle.
