It's called iOS 26 because it will take 26 months to explain to your parents how to use their phone again.
@jamesthomson I can skip the updates for them in that case, because that'll be beyond the event horizon 😅
@jamesthomson If you can pry them off iOS 15 😢
@jamesthomson I’ll let my kids know when they ask me
@jamesthomson I wish we could roll back to iOS 22
@jamesthomson
My remaining parent has no idea how to use one at all, so I'm coming out ahead on this one.
@jamesthomson I was thinking each individual change makes sense and sounds good.

People are going to be so angry.
@jamesthomson ah, the joys of massive companies making pointless UI changes for no reason
@jamesthomson Haha, And after 26 months, they'll just look at you and ask, "Why does my phone look different?"🤷🏻‍♂️
@jamesthomson exactly my feelings. The new #LiquidGlass design will be super confusing for some users.
@darrarski @jamesthomson yes the current manifestation is way too high fidelity. You see way too much of what is behind.

@jamesthomson So what you are saying is that there will be an end to my instruction responsibilities...and only a little over 2 years!

How much are they tho?

I kid, mom.

@jamesthomson i thought it was to indicate that in the next version they will use AI to rewrite everything and it will join famous club 27
@jamesthomson how’s that "I'll try to be less snarky" coming along? ;-)
@jamesthomson That WAS my first thought when I heard about Liquid Glass. Not my 88-year-old mother-in-law, she’ll be just fine. But my 90-year-old father-in-law? This will put him over the edge.
