Rohan SlaughterJust putting it out there, Liquid Glass is awful. It has destroyed my muscle memory of where buttons should be and I keep messing up with accidentally closing tabs, losing my place in the interface and I am generally finding it is slowing me down. It’s frankly a massive downgrade. I would be interested what people with a VI think of it, even with “reduce transparency” turned on it’s still pants. It I could revert to iOS 18, I would.
And can I add that I hate that the buttons move around, swell and ping about - what on earth are you doing Apple
Martin Hamilton@RohanSlaughter Feedback from these parts is that #LiquidGlass is now just about bearable after methodically going through mashing the buttons that you didn't think about before or that just didn't exist - assuming you can locate them. Ironically replacing the boring but actually useful bits of Siri "AI" with a cobbled together confabulator is possibly more concerning.
And when you think about it... "hey loyal customers, we just changed the whole UI to your life, in all kinds of random ways, in an overnight update - good luck out there!" might not be the sort of thing to brag about when a significant proportion of customers think of it more like a domestic appliance than a pocket supercomputer.
When it's a company with such a huge market share, there might even be a credible argument for a little regulatory intervention... 
@m thanks and yes I saw the negative early feedback, so I left upgrading until the recent security patches seemed wise given Brian Krebs highlighting of Darksword https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/23/someone-has-publicly-leaked-an-exploit-kit-that-can-hack-millions-of-iphones/
@RohanSlaughter One of the most annoying iOS things for VI folk long predates the Liquid Glass catastrophe and would be incredibly trivial to fix - at some point the maximum font size in the Apple Books app just unexpectedly got a lot smaller after a routine update. And sure, folk like us can always use a different eBook reader, but we (or me, anyway!) are weird nerds...
*It's probably a one line code change to fix and even increase the limit, and I did have a go at persuading them to change it, but no.
@m I have sadly found Apple to be a bit impenetrable when talking accessibility and assistive tech. Definitely have some weird nerd tendencies over here too. I may be looking at an old android and wondering how bothered I am about unlocking the boot loader… sadly these days I am a very time poor weird nerd
