Liquid-not-so-very-glass

Milky instead of transparent: Following criticism of the new design, Apple has reduced the transparency of the controls in the latest beta of iOS 26. Not everyone likes that either.

It has been exactly one month since Apple unveiled a major redesign of its operating systems. The new design language under the slogan «Liquid Glass» is intended to appear elegant and dynamic. Critical voices were raised afterwards, however: Readability and accessibility could suffer under the semi-transparent user interface.

With all the excitement about transparent and less transparent glass, it is important to mention that this is only a developer beta. This is precisely to gather feedback and make corrections before Apple releases the final version of iOS 26 in September.

My fingerprint often changes so drastically that my MacBook doesn't recognise it anymore. The reason? If I'm not clinging to a monitor or camera, I'm probably clinging to a rockface by the tips of my fingers.
