Aha, I thought. I can get around Liquid Glass and return to my minimalist iOS 18 Home Screen, just by flipping the background from black to white! Genius! But no.

Whether I set a background to white (255,255,255) or use an image (255,255,255/#ffffff), iOS 26 makes it subtly darker, just so it can still show off its Liquid Glass effects around widgets. iOS 18 does not.

I don’t even.

This might not be news to anyone here, but, hey, I’m still discovering new things that annoy me about iOS 26.

@craiggrannell Man, Apple just keeps getting worse the more I hear about it.

@coffee_tomorrow My hope is that with the guy responsible for this shit now gone and a product-first veteran about to be CEO, there might be some course correction. My fear is there won't be.

@craiggrannell @coffee_tomorrow

as a non apple user, this is an honest question - is there any (non forensic IT super sysadmin) OS rollback capability? Its not pretty under Windows (and I've never even considered it under linux) as you have to use Recovery mode and restore to a snapshot, but its do-able. I presume there's some snapshot/recovery/rollback on apples?

@tezoatlipoca @coffee_tomorrow Broadly speaking, yes, you can rollback a Mac, but you cannot do so with one that had 26 preinstalled.
