#LiquidGlass is a skeuomorphic nightmare.
Apple’s #LiquidGlass experience is so awful, the #iPadOS 26.4 release notes remain a partial mystery because the window holding the notes doesn’t scroll! I’ve never seen #Apple make a #UI as bad as this.

@RohanSlaughter Feedback from these parts is that #LiquidGlass is now just about bearable after methodically going through mashing the buttons that you didn't think about before or that just didn't exist - assuming you can locate them. Ironically replacing the boring but actually useful bits of Siri "AI" with a cobbled together confabulator is possibly more concerning.

And when you think about it... "hey loyal customers, we just changed the whole UI to your life, in all kinds of random ways, in an overnight update - good luck out there!" might not be the sort of thing to brag about when a significant proportion of customers think of it more like a domestic appliance than a pocket supercomputer.

When it's a company with such a huge market share, there might even be a credible argument for a little regulatory intervention... 

#Apple #iOS 26 settings show a title bar label until you scroll down and back to top again. If by design it’s more #LiquidGlass ugliness. If a bug then it’s been there through 4 releases and they’re blind or inept. None of these are good excuses. I could post examples like these all week.
So even with the tinted option enabled this is what #Apple thinks is a focus on content? #LiquidGlass is a distracting mess, even in its “best” form (#iOS). They’re gaslighting and treating us like imbeciles. Another bad decision.

Ugh! Even after the 18.7.7 update, #Apple *still* nags you to “upgrade” to #iOS v26 though. 😒

Tim Apple, I *don’t* want that silly #LiquidGlass abomination. ✋🏽🙅🏽‍♂️

#PSA: Apparently #DarkSword:

is bad enough 😱 that #Apple has finally relented and released iOS v18.7.7:

for #iPhones and #iPads that they were earlier forcing to use #LiquidGlass via an update to iOS v26.x.

Update ASAP.

#Apple and then they waste all their time doling irrelevant stuff like #LiquidGlass rather than actually making things work 🤯

By combining the tinted look with reduced transparency, I effectively turned off #LiquidGlass in macOS Tahoe (and on my iPad as well).

Its still not pretty, but hey… #WWDC26 is in 67 days (according to Apple Intelligence).
