Design is the intent behind the product. Good design is when the user is empowered without being able to identify any specific design choices.

Yeah, I’m an avid mac/i/iPadOS user, and that was a bad choice. And it’s sad, because it feels like a choice made just to have something to reveal at WWDC. I’d respect them a whole lot more with optimizations, performance improvements, and developer enhancements. I was good with 18, not to mention some elements from the older designs.

Turn on increase contrast and or reduce transparency in accessibility settings.
They added an option for “Tinted” liquid glass in Display Settings. Looks basically like ios 18 with that on.
This image exemplifies everything that’s wrong with the transparency in the current iOS/macOS versions
I’m trying to figure out from this picture if it’s satire or not
It is a bit hard to read
Tim Apple needs to go and someone with taste should take over.
Hopefully someone less evil
Always the same discussion with design changes. The same complaints as with iOS 7 back in the day. Some like it, some don’t. End of story.
