At its 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple made a large show of a design overhaul for all its operating systems, known as liquid glass. It makes many buttons, menu and other objects transparent or transparent, which is below the bottom. Often these items are floated and minimal, with animations that stretch them and bounce them – so the “liquid” part. The developers have already placed their hands on the initial version of the technology, and if you want to try it too, iOS 26McOS 26, iPados 26Watches 26, and TVOS 26Should be out in July.

As a whole, I am in it – it’s some time because Apple’s software has a new beauty, and any good interface tries to stay out of your way. But there are some problems with liquid glass because it stands up, all of which are really worth polishing before falling software updates. These are changes that I advise – hopefully someone is taking a note in Apple.

With iOS 26, Apple is finally taking iPhone’s phone app seriously

So far, the most useful new features of iOS 26 are call screening and hold assist – why is here.

Put a level of transparency on a slider

For app icon, if nothing else

Apple

It makes sense for many things in liquid glass or to be completely transparent, such as the boundaries around the text selector or tab menu. But sometimes it becomes far away, such as in the case of the new control center, which is in the background behind it, a jumbal can look like a mess, depending on what is in the background. And if you choose a clear icon appearance on your iPhone, iPad, or MAC, you may have to stare for each other or two longer to identify that app for some time, you are searching, or reading data from a widget. There is not much point in using a reminder widget to look at your daily tasks if it can be faster to open the app.

In the defense of Apple, it was designed for these concerns with low transparency options. In iOS 26, it is located below Settings> Excisibility> Display and Text SizeBut all this adds a deep background to objects like the control center and app icon – some things remain untouched, and you have to be happy with the definition of Apple’s “low”. A better solution would be one or more transparency sliders, allowing us to decide how much we need things. I want to be able to control at least icon transparency – it would be good to have a clear icon without feeling my iPhone and iPad homescreen that it is good that the souls of the dead apps are haunted.

Fix font size and colors

The readability is basic

Some critics have been quickly involved to notice – themselves have been included – it is that Apple is making a funny option with lessons in some places. If you are playing a song in Apple Music, for example, the artist’s name in iOS 26 Miniplair is a light brown, then it mixes very well with the surrounding menu. Even it can be difficult to read black or dark brown text on the liquid glass button, what is in the background once again.

Perhaps the worst situation includes the notification center-if you have found light colored wallpaper, then your information default white text can be illegal, almost blind. The choice of Apple here clearly seems to make the liquid glass look cool, instead of it worthy.

There are some ways that Apple can solve this problem, to swap the most basic font colors where necessary, and bold button labels so they stand out. I should not move to accessibility settings as crutches. Perhaps the colors can be made dynamic, increasing the contrast on the fly.

These details are the types of things that I am hoping to make the Apple Twenty five before it falls. But a strong case for Apple may also be that at the end all platforms should be offered an underlying method of fonts of editing system. There should be some levels of-flexibility that will not risk breaking the application or violating the style of the house.

Tone new animation

Bounce, bounce, bounce

At the moment, liquid glass is very bounted, slipping, popping and around the interface elements. This is not a bad thing overall, but it can be slightly higher, even cartoons. Perhaps the worst example is an infection from iOS 26 lockscreen to homescreen – the icons bounce so much that they fly over each other (and through it). You think there was an invisible Trumpoline.

Animation also takes a long time that it can prevent you from launching an app for one or two seconds, although you can make a similar complaint about iOS18. Regardless, I am not a child watching youtube video – I do not need constant speed for entertainment.

I am assuming that lockscreen infection will probably be scalled back, and users will be able to make some of all these animals or all using accessibility settings. Otherwise, however, I suspect that there is a lot in the way of change. By jumping in any serious way and reducing the amount of morning, the liquid part of the liquid glass will be undone – and for marketing, advertising and development reasons, Apple is probably closed for a long time.

As soon as possible, I will not expect any improvement until the next round of major OS updates, essentially receiving my preview in WWDC 2026. The changing course will not be completely unprecedented. In fact, consider how much Apple Apple Apple is reducing intelligence this year, when he was hanging everything in 2024. The company is never so stubborn to harm its lower line or destroy its reputation.

We have to wait and see how the general public reacts to liquid glass. If it is the butt of the jokes on late night talk, this decline shows, some type of action is guaranteed.
