No idea what liquid glass is, but that's a heavy reaction.
What are you sporting now?
It’s a tweak to the UI. Not perfect, but I barely even notice a difference from old UI. People just like to complain.
The clear icons are ugly, but you don’t have to use them, so it doesn’t really matter.
It’s just the Aero glass from win 7 on an iPhone. I don’t mind it
In the apple basic apples they hid data that was normally visible and showed data that was irrelevant to the current function or plain redundant. Having to notifications un readable due to the transportnt was awful UX design.
Overall it comes off as if an intern was told to update the UX and had no per-review when deployed.
I loved my apple ecosystem system and wish I didn't change but the functions that have been slightly adjusted over 10+ years were turned upside down in one patch.
The complaint is justified as you look around online very few people outside of tech bloggers had anything positive to say about liquid glass.
