Okay. I finally installed ios 26 because of the DarkSword hack. I’m so pissed about how this looks immediately that I’m going to post what I hate to this thread. I’m going to be very rude because I’m in a bad mood and I’m starting to Hate Designers (speaking as a former)

all right first of all, something’s wrong with the way the keyboard works; it pops up the letter above in a way I can’t quite put my finger on but it looks like shit

the Squircling is out of fucking control. looks at this shit. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH NEGATIVE SPACE IN THIS TRASH CAN DOCK

Next. I fucking hate the pre-existing design of Screen Time warnings. But I need them, because I’m a goddamn obsessive and I need reminders to quit looking at socials.

But these MOTHERFUCKERS, in their endless pursuit of false tidiness, have HIDDEN THE OPTIONS BEHIND A SECOND TAP

you used to get the “one more minute” etc immediately. Now I tap one button and it POPS THESE UP?? halfway up the SCREEN? you assholes

the animation that bloops out when I tap the add media button? this sucks. it takes too long and it bloops out in an annoying way. I LOVE interface animation but this makes me mad immediately

Oh!! I just realized that I had my accessibility vision settings on; reduced transparency, high contrast, etc. I turned all those off so I can get the Genuine Experience and get real good and mad for a little bit

this floating shit above the keyboard? fuck you. these icons look so bad, the spacing is a fucking nightmare

some of these bloopy swoopy animations MIGHT be fine if they were twice as fast and didn’t have the goddamn glass blur

DONT MAKE ME WAIT FOR THE FUCKING INTERFACE YOU FUCKING AMATEURS

i know you know, but this transparency is fucking embarrassing. god DAMNIT
TAKE AWAY THESE DESIGNERS’ FUCKING GOURMET CRAYONS AND MAKE THEM GO BACK GO SCHOOL
I hate this flat ass duplo icon with my life
this has BEEN a problem, but it sure would be nice to see the whole title of basically any app. charlatans. give me an options for 2 rows of text. I’ll put fewer icons onscreen, I don’t give a shit. this sucks. have they given an option for app icons to be double-wide? I’d do that instantly. fuck the squircle
i don’t know why I even have this group. but this transparency!! fucking!!!!!! SUCKS

TWO TAPS TO OPEN ALL MY SAFARI TABS????

I OPEN THEM HUNDREDS OF TIMES A DAY

which, admittedly, I wish my life and brain were different but my ass reads a lot of internet

GUESS WHICH PART OF THE INTERFACE IS THE WEB PAGE AND WHICH IS THE BROWSER

bastards killed accessibility with a glass shovel

I’m going to turn ALL OF THIS OFF AS SOON AS IM DONE BEING MAD

but it’s a fucking travesty to ship this to a billion devices. truly, shame on everyone involved

gonna make myself go to bed for now. but I repeat: fuuuuuuck everybody who made and signed off on this. give me your fucking job so I can channel the ghost of good taste and scour your errors from the earth

why is this SO BIG AND UGLY
AND HALFWAY UP THE MOTHERFUCKING SCREEN

PUT THE CONTROLS DOWN NEAR MY FINGERS

AND DON’t MAKE EVEYRHNG A GIANT FUCKING CENTER ALIGNED ROUNDRECT

aahhhhHHHHHHHHHHHH

the fact that whoever made this toddler-ass reductive icon gets paid more than me is an existential crisis
for me, and for the planet

high pitched scream, all the fucking “glass” cracks and falls to the ground

hideous

HAHAHHHAHAAHA
I can only conclude that no one with taste works at Apple anymore. This is grotesque

@splendorr fucking UGH. Shit like this in iOS 26 drives me CRAZY.

Honestly, if Apple implement the age verification thing on my phone, I'm leaving for a Fairphone. Fuck this shit.
