Do you think Liquid Glass will be widespread outside the Apple ecosystem?
Similar to skeuomorphic design and flat design, will Liquid Glass be the next big design wave on web and Android as well?
- soapdog 1y agoI dearly hope it doesn't cause I'm using it and it sucks.
- blinkbat 1y agono edit: and I hope not.
- andraskindler 1y agoI don't know, I really like it so far.
- blinkbat 1y agowhy's that?
- andraskindler 1y agoIt's fresh, and aesthetically pleasing (but this is subjective).
- coldtea 1y agoNo. Liquid glass wont even make it past 1 macOS/iOS release. In fact Apple has already scaled back many of the glass UI parts they've shown in the earlier demos and betas. It's an ill-though change for change's sake. Nobody is that impressed. Flat design was more fully thought. But even that was useless and ultimately user hostile. "Skeuomorphic" (which is mistankenly called that, few parts of OS X or Windows at the time were actually skeuomorphic in nature) was just better UI.
- blinkbat 1y agoto me liquid glass has a hint of skeuomorphism, but with the added transparency clusterfuck that just makes it unreadable.
- andraskindler 1y agoAgree on flat design being more fully thought.
- ayaros 1y agoThey would have to fire Alan Dye for that to happen. Discontinuing it without blaming something or someone would be an admission that Apple isn't perfect, and they don't have it in them to do that. I suppose it's either their own egos, or legal won't let them because it will open them up to lawsuits.
- Rotundo 1y agoSomehow I hope it will. Since iOS 26 I've used my iPhone a lot less. It is so ugly and un-intuitive. I can't find half the options I need anymore. In fact I started reading books again. I consider it a win.
- k310 1y agoReadability is paramount. Websites and now user interfaces trash it. The ONLY reason my iPhone is usable is the fact that I am very nearsighted and just take my glasses off, and at my age, I will probably get 20/20 distant-only vision soon. Icons? Spotlight or Quicksilver are my app launchers already, when icons are unclear. It will be reading glasses or a magnifying phone case. Do you know of any? Business opportunity? I do not like the business of unequal L/R vision. An optometrist tried that once (without asking) and I felt like my brain was being sheared. I asked for an got equal sight in both eyes.
