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.

  • Money Are Just Numbers?

    I won’t quite agree to that as money is needed to pay your rent and bills, and also to get the groceries so money is the subsistence or substance needed for life. So no money almost equals to no life, is how I look at it. But then recently I found this podcast, which told…

  • Commonality in Strangers

    Went to a friend’s makan-makan (party) today and met a lot of undergrads, mostly in their early twenties. As we’re from Asian background, i.e. all are Malaysian, there is a bit of hierarchy between us and also reverence towards me and my friend, who are well in our 30s. Despite that though, the conversation does…

    This is a question series where I list down questions that I have now or things that I am still in the midst of understanding. The reason is mostly personal so that when I read it in the future (where I hopefully understand all the complexity), I will look back and be grateful for how…

    Recently my family and I went on a short holiday and we stayed on a caravan. It was a novel experience for both my family and I, one that I am not too eager to repeat. To be fair, the caravan was better than I expected with steady hot water and view of the sea,…
