As Apple customer I strongly disagree. Both iOS and macOS 26 look refreshing. Few visual bugs have almost zero impact on day to day life and TBH I love liquid glass effects.

There were much more disastrous releases in the past, it is just everyone have an opinion about UI these days.

Also as an Apple customer, iOS and macOS' latest releases _look_ nice, but they're unpolished and iOS still has some bugs. They were correct in their assessment. New releases used to have actual quality to them, now they feel rushed out.

I mean previous serious bugs included damaged file system, broken photo library, failing time machine backups, or when half of your files on iCloud drive disappears.

I consider few glitching UI animations or misplaced transitions to be tolerable.

Plus one! I love the visual refresh. The minor version bump with options to reduce the glass effect a little shows Apple is willing to iterate on the nits people have with it.
