Liquid Glass Is Cracked, and Usability Suffers in iOS 26 (www.nngroup.com)

iOS 26’s visual language obscures content instead of letting it take the spotlight. New (but not always better) design patterns replace established conventions.

It is. It sucks. Apple is making the same mistake they made in iOS 7 by appointing their hardware designer to redesign their software UI. They’ll be stubborn about it for a while and then start backing off the design after a year or so. If Tim Cook retires anytime soon, that might give them the excuse to shake up the UI again sooner.

If I was a developer, I would not invest my time in redesigning my app for Liquid Glass. It’s likely you’re going to put in a bunch of effort just to make your app unusable, and then in a year or two Apple will ask you to redesign it again when Glass is abandoned.
