The more time I spend with Liquid Glass, the more I don't understand Alan Dye's and the design team's obsession with minimizing UI chrome and "prioritizing content" instead.

With collapsed tab bars in iOS 26, it now takes me two taps to switch between Library and Music.

Is that…better? The animations are gorgeous, sure. But does it actually *work* better? 🤔

I mean, you know me, I'm not the kind of person who hates change. I love to switch between systems, try new stuff, and be on the bleeding edge of tech.

But things have to be an improvement, and most of Liquid Glass feels like a sidestep with beautiful animations, a great physics engine, and worse usability than before.

We'll see what happens I guess!

@viticci I know what happens. My 75-year-old father calling me in the middle of the night (because he lives 3 time zones behind me) in a state of utter confusion. Luckily, he still has a landline phone, so he won’t have to figure out how the phone app on the iPhone works to call me.
