The Seven Voyages Of SteveDec 6

Ugh my phone updated to iOS 26 last night. Whoever thought Liquid Glass was a good idea needs a slap. Yeah let’s make buttons with text on them transparent, that will be suuuuper legible. Idiots. And to think they’re burning GPU time to make their UI worse. Who runs UX at Apple these days anyway? They clearly don’t know what they’re doing.

Luckily found Accessibility > Display & Text > Reduce Transparency so most of it is gone now

@sinbad @cstross the Liquid Glass setting is front and center if you go to Settings - Display and brightness (in 26.1). It will yield way better result than reduce transparency. That one has a different purpose.

Also, ”who runs UX”, he very publicly resigned this week.
