I’m optimistic that they will eventually course correct on Liquid Glass, but we’ll have to wait until iOS/macOS 27, or perhaps longer.

There are parallels to Apple’s butterfly keyboard fiasco on the hardware side. Sleek looking on the surface but an objective step backwards in usability. Unfortunately it took Apple several years to reverse course on that one.

There are also parallels with the original pinstripes-and-transparency-everywhere aqua UI. I am also optimistic that it will be toned down over time but retaining the responsiveness.

What was the Windows Vista thing, right? It was pretty bad but nobody bought a windows laptop because they thought it’d look nice.

Whatever happened to the magic bar?

The SD card slot on macbooks … not to mention the HDMI slot.

Here’s hoping that the glass effect goes the same way as the Dodo.
