I really like the new look, but I can see it not being everyone’s favorite.
The reaction is a bit undermined by the general knee jerk reaction of every OS UI update ever, though.

Every social media site I’ve ever used would go nuts after even tiny changes
I even liked the Beta 1 look that was super transparent. But, having older parents and knowing people’s general disdain towards change I understand that it has a lot of downsides for usability and just being different.
But it’s good to see another Liquid Glass enjoyer! Really does feel like there are dozens of us, dozens!
I really hope Liquid Glass stays. I much prefer it over the boring ass oversimplified design from before.
I just want it to be a touch more frosted. The controls are hard for my aging eyes to see at times.
I’m just glad they’re trying something different and listening to feedback.
Regardless of what people think about Liquid Ass, I feel sorry for the developers who now have to keep their apps updated for two completely different design languages. I hope Apple makes it easy on the devs but to me this reads like the onus is on you (the dev) to keep the design good and consistent across both Liquid and Solid Snake.
They’ll go to all that trouble, and then in a year or two Apple will backtrack completely. It’s not worth the effort to update your app to glass.
Liquid Glass is an unfinished product.
I like Liquid Ass on my iPhone. On my Watch… I could take it or leave it, but I guess it’s pretty. On my Macs? I don’t like what they’ve done to Finder. The icon. The borders. It’s ugly AF.
I’ll probably keep Liquid Ass though. It’s fine. If I had an older iPhone I might consider ditching it, though.
Good. That thing should never have left beta.
How does liquid glass affect battery life on older iPhones? I’ve got a 13 pro and have avoided upgrading because I, personally, remember windows vista (not good, people are saying)
I have a 13 pro and battery life seems unaffected. Maybe it’s because I don’t use my phone a whole lot during work hours, but it hasn’t been an issue for me. Liquid Glass is unobtrusive, but sometimes that can be a bad thing. UI elements shouldn’t always blend in with the content. Overall, I can live with it.
