    I might be a minority but the week liquid glass hit my phone I ordered a pixel, sold my iphone. iPad, apple watch, and air tags that weekend.

    I don’t know if that compares as one is a ui/function overhaul and the other is a data field for access to things.

      We all know that every other manufacturer is gonna copy apple, exactly how basically overnight everyone switched to the flat icons of iOS 5

      Example: Google has already redesigned the Google maps icon on Android to look more “glassy”

      No idea what liquid glass is, but that’s a heavy reaction.

      What are you sporting now?

        It’s a tweak to the UI. Not perfect, but I barely even notice a difference from old UI. People just like to complain.

        The clear icons are ugly, but you don’t have to use them, so it doesn’t really matter.

          In the apple basic apples they hid data that was normally visible and showed data that was irrelevant to the current function or plain redundant. Having to notifications un readable due to the transportnt was awful UX design.

          Overall it comes off as if an intern was told to update the UX and had no per-review when deployed.

          I loved my apple ecosystem system and wish I didn’t change but the functions that have been slightly adjusted over 10+ years were turned upside down in one patch.

          The complaint is justified as you look around online very few people outside of tech bloggers had anything positive to say about liquid glass.

          It’s just the Aero glass from win 7 on an iPhone. I don’t mind it
