In iOS 26.3, the morphing “More …” button was replaced by a much simpler and more obvious “View More” and “View Less”.
The collapsed and expanded states are shown below.
I hope we see more of this - optimizing for screen real estate when there’s a high cognitive cost just isn’t worth it.
Buttons should act like they have for centuries, not like some magical thing a designer dreamed up.

I’ve seen the first evidence that someone who understands user interaction is driving the bus at Apple.
In the first release of iOS 26, the system sharing sheet had a More … button to expand the sheet (first image).

@samhenrigold I loved your latest essay.

@siracusa Fun fact: “performance” and “efficiency” are stringly typed in both the kernel and I/O Registry:
$ sysctl -a | grep "hw.perflevel"
$ ioreg -l -b -p "IODeviceTree" -r -n "cpus"
("cluster-type" will be either “P" or “E”)
I can't imagine how they are going to change the meaning of “performance" without breaking a bunch of other low-level things.
If a young person asks me how tall I am, I now have to respond “five nineteen”.
