iOS 26 – Changes and Resistance

ByFaris

Apple has released a new version of iOS and it has Liquid Glass. It’s just a change of design in the UI. Just.

The change seems to use skeuormophic (I don’t think I spelled that right), i.e. digital objects mimic real objects. A note app looks like a notebook, complete with binders, dog-eared pages and all. Also, the icons now can have no colour and are see-through. Hooray, why pay so much to have designers to pick all those colours,right?

Because there’s a reason why those icons have colour. And there’s also a reason why icons are called icons, and not just pictures. The icons symbolises the real thing. This new iOS just makes it look like android in 2010, complete with the ability to ‘skin’ your icons.

So ugly. Putting this opinion here so I can revisit in a year.

Thank you for reading.
