Lennart SchoorsIf Apple still had courage they would've opened the keynote with this. @atpfm

sanpan@dan613 @lensco @auxonic @atpfm Instead of complaining about the readability you could ask Siri to read the text. Or you could take a screenshot, save it to your library and have Apple AI highlight the text for you. And I’m not even going to dive into the accessibility settings here. So many easy solutions, it‘s almost as if you wanted to complain here 🤣

steven@lensco I’m still on iOS 18 on an older device, and when watching the video from within the Apple Store app, the volume control contrast between volume slider and total bar at times was zero. When I’d try to take screenshots of it, they’d be perfectly legible. I felt like I was taking crazy pills.
Maybe it was only during HDR footage? Either way, until I took a screenshot that volume slide was entirely one shade of gray
Arg! It happens during the early part of the event video when Tim cuts to the airpod commercial that evokes old iPod commercials with the dancing and the silloettes, but the moment i screen record or screenshot the contrast goes to normal. Definitely an HDR playback thing for ios18

John Siracusa@ramsey The event really did open with that quote (but it was white text on a black background).

Did you know that light text on a light background provides insufficient contrast to be readible?
Eric J@aeveltstra @lensco nah it's fine
Daniel@aeveltstra to state the apparently not so obvious: that’s the whole point of the post.
When designing UI overlays, you mustn’t make assumptions about the eventual backdrop. Liquid Glass, however, requires detailed knowledge (i.e. averages won’t do) of the backdrop beforehand and choosing foreground colours accordingly, or fails admirably, as depicted here — and as people have been vocally pointing out since the WWDC-Keynote.

@danyow Thank you! That went straight over my head. Totally agreed.
Sebastian Arcq@lensco omg this is genius. Lol 😂😂😂
AdamAnd this is what we're boiling the planet for, folks!
Apple never stops innovating!
Richard2001@lensco Lennart, not 100% sure if I’ll do it but would you mind if I use this image for a personal print? Am currently looking at Fracture style services in the UK. I’d be happy to make a StJude (or other charity) donation mentioning you
@Richard2001 I don’t mind, but the resolution is probably too low…
@lensco Thanks, I’d be looking at the smallest print size available. Not sure if I should do it but having this image printed on acrylic glass would amuse me

Linebyline@lensco I think they removed their courage a few years back. Said it was to improve waterproofing.
