What are your ideas on Apple’s new Liquid Glass?

Earlier this week, Apple offered Liquid Glass at WWDC 2025. Liquid Glass UI components can be found on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, tvOS, and watchOS and can formally launch in September alongside the brand new iPhones. I couldn’t wait, so I downloaded the newest developer preview betas on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and Apple TV.

Nevertheless, I’ve principally used Liquid Glass on my iPhone with iOS 26, however boy, it’s attention-grabbing. Generally the glass impact is annoying and peculiar to have a look at. I discover that typically it’s onerous to learn my notifications once I pull down the shade, and Fast Settings can look abysmal overlaid on high of the house display. Apple did element instruments it added to assist with legibility points in Liquid Glass, but it surely’s irritating that the bottom design is tough to learn when the earlier design labored high-quality.

Listed below are another folks complaining about Liquid Glass:

I’m satisfied that Liquid Glass is only a manner for apple to make their UI so graphically intensive that now we have to improve our telephones extra usually to keep away from fixed lag.

3 – Weak Blur: The blur is simply too weak to differentiate the UI components from the background. That is way more noticeable on textual content or high-contrast backgrounds pic.twitter.com/gMtksRkkXf

Liquid Glass isn’t horrible, and it really has me my iPhone once more for the primary time since December, once I wrote about one of the best telephones of the 12 months. Nevertheless, I believe that some components may use some work.
