> Instead, it introduces readability problems without any of the spatial computing benefits. > Apple's Liquid Glass may win design accolades, but history suggests it will join the long list of beautiful solutions that made computing harder, not easier, for the people who actually have to use it every day. Unless they get it right. > Early signs suggest they're already realizing this. Succinctly written. How can the third most valuable company on the planet with computing being the core of their DNA not realize this pre launch? I have no experience with either SF/ SV or culture in large US enterprises. Does someone has a hypothesis?

> How can the third most valuable company on the planet with computing being the core of their DNA not realize this pre launch? They haven’t launched it. The version with the exaggerated effects was an early beta. The more recent betas are already far more refined. Everyone is raging over some early pre-release screenshots and videos because they’re unfamiliar with how Apple works: The early betas of a new UI are always refined and adjusted significantly before launch.

  If Apple wants the benefit of building buzz by having splashy pre-release presentations they also have to deal with the times those initial reactions are negative. WWDC is as much a marketing event as a developer event.

Large companies have lots of mediocre people making decisions and the larger a company is the further away those decision makers are from the experts that can guide them towards making the correct decision.
