I really think Apple took a step back with Liquid Glass. It’s inefficient, less functional, gimmicky, and just unpleasant to use. They aren’t doing something they couldn’t do before. They are doing something they actively decided against years ago and suddenly think it’s a good idea now.
Too many marketing people making decisions at Apple these past few years. It’s amazing Apple silicon ever got off the ground.
Yes, it’s terrible to use. It looks somewhat pretty in screenshots is the best thing I can say about it.
Readability is worse, it takes up more space, and thousands of hours will be spent by developers updating their apps to it instead of adding features or fixing bugs.
It’s just bad.
