The thing I don't understand about Liquid Glass is that glass is meant to let you see through things. The things they're applying Liquid Glass to are not meant to be seen through. They are adding visual noise to elements that should be solidly separated. A folder of apps does not just have the visual information of the many apps within, but also is muddied by a hazy portion of the background. The folder is an eyesore since it is so busy and does not blend in with the expected block like look of other apps. Same with all other elements Liquid Glass has been used for. I'm not into graphic design, and my UIs are notoriously bad so maybe I'm just missing it, but it's just bad in my opinion. I liked skeuomorphism though so what do I know.

Skeumorphism is great, when used sensibly. It can give so much charm and warmth. It also gives clues on what an application is for and helps differentiate between them. Buttons looking like actual buttons is something I miss dearly.

I've been having the random restarts too on my iPhone 13 ever since iOS26. It seems to occur when I'm switching back and forth between more than two apps in short amount of time. Maybe something to do with RAM?

Boy, am I glad that I started moving all of my digital services away from Big Tech a year ago.

Are we doing these kind of articles every few months now? It feels like people are complaining about Apple getting worse as long as I can remember….
