iOS 26 introduces a controversial 'liquid glass' design inspired by Vision Pro, featuring transparent, glass-like UI elements. The redesign has been criticized for poor visibility, contrast issues, and feeling rushed. The author argues this represents a broader decline in Apple's software quality, comparing it unfavorably to previous major iOS redesigns and suggesting Apple is losing control amid pressure from AI competition.

iOS 26 is terrible.

A slickly-produced and passionately-delivered pile of opinion that is short on substance. What EXACTLY is broken in the new liquid glass system?
Hey man, I don’t like Neapolitan ice cream. If I made a video telling you why, it would be as pointless as this one was.
Want an example of what should be said in a video like this? Right now in iOS 18.6, I have navigation bars disappearing in lots of apps including the built-in email client. You have to force quit it to get them back.

the only people who like liquid glass is the people who own every new apple product.
change me mind.

Apple things… iOS was never good imao… macOS is even worse
But I like the chips and performance, as well as the way hardware’s build quality.
