ios 27 being ios 26 minus liquid glass is literally the only thing I want from the next ios version.

Same with macOS. I'm sticking with Sequoia, but don't know what to do if macOS 27 turns out to be just as ugly as Tahoe.

Just give me my fucking corners back. I paid good money for them.

It's like a new woodworker with a new router where every edge must be rounded. Hopefully, the new will wear off, and everyone will realize round corners do not fit in square holes

Been there done that!

But they do.

I'm sticking with Sonoma as long as they still provide security updates, then i go +1, hoping to skip the whole liquid glass phase.

I'd even settle for it being on a switch, call it "minimal UI" or something, but I have a feeling that Apple doesn't work like that. It's burn-the-boats, we're going all in on Glass and there's no going back.

I would like them to also fix all the weird rendering bugs they introduced in Safari.

Though maybe those are also liquid glass’ fault.

Safari is literally unusable on some websites.

So, for example, since the toolbar at the bottom is not a separate interface but hovers over the rendered page, if the page has a button or link that only sits at the bottom of the page, it can literally be impossible to click it because the hovering toolbar will cover it. I’ve come across 2 websites in the past week itself where I had to switch to mobile Firefox to actually do something.

Chrome has them too :)

Yeah, because chrome is required to use -safari- webkit too, apple won't allow alternative browsers on the app store.

Except in the EU, but they don't allow it globally so no sane company is going to invest time into building a browser for iOS while apple is intentionally region-locking the ability to install them.

So yeah, on iOS, rendering bugs on Chrome are quite often apple's fault, and the Chrome team can't fix em.

this would make me so happy!
