Are the Apple people really this oblivious, or is someone in PR trolling us?
- DonHopkins 10mo agoApple no longer supports GL, so Liquid Glass - GL = Liquid Ass.
- codebyaditya 10mo agoI read it less as obliviousness and more as internal language leaking into marketing. What’s “Liquid Glass” to Apple reads like an aesthetic system though but to outsiders it sounds like jargon inflation. I feel the gap between internal coherence and external clarity shows up in these releases a lot.
- storus 10mo agoI guess it's enforced top-down. Yesterday I picked up my MacBook from a logicboard repair and they forced Tahoe on it despite running Sonoma originally so I spent most of yesterday getting rid of Tahoe and reverting back to Sonoma.
- Fnoord 10mo agoSonoma won't receive updates for long any more. Better off switching to Sequoia. It'll give you 20 months to switch away, instead of 8 months.
- storus 10mo agoEach new macOS version brings new restrictions causing some essential apps to stop working or work in a more complicated way so I keep delaying macOS upgrades as late as possible. macOS used to be an OS that lowered my cognitive complexity but that's no longer true these days due to security overreach.
- einr 10mo agoAs a macOS sysadmin I feel this in my bones, and of course I don't know what apps are essential for you, but FWIW Sequoia has been basically identical to Sonoma for me. In fact I had to double check what I was running on this computer before writing this because there's just no functional or aesthetic difference that I know of off the top of my head. (And yes, I'm holding off on Sonoma for as long as possible because... yuck)
- baggachipz 10mo agoHave you never had to toe a company line before?
- guestbest 10mo agoIt sounds like internally it’s a checklist item they have to mention everywhere.
- cons0le 10mo agoYep, it's not trolling, it's just them doing the job. A well paid lawyer will defend a client even if they're guilty
- 12345hn6789 10mo agoA well paid lawyer defending a guilty client is upholding the Justice system. Every man has a right to a fair trial. Apple wasting years of everyones time on bad faith UX design
- blitzar 10mo agosomeone in PR is trolling the beatings with liquid glass will continue till morale improves
- pier25 10mo agoThey don't have much of a choice. They bet the house on liquid glass and need to keep up appearances.
- reddalo 10mo agoI think they just need to wait a bit and then present something more sensible as the new hot design.
- msabalau 10mo agoWhen you are in a hole you can at least stop digging.
- mh2266 10mo ago> They bet the house on liquid glass How? If they reverted to the previous iOS and macOS designs, Apple would go out of business?
- pier25 10mo agoGod only knows how much money they invested into the new GUI engine for all their platforms. It was a super expensive bet.
- lII1lIlI11ll 10mo ago> God only knows how much money they invested into the new GUI engine for all their platforms. It was a super expensive bet. What are you basing these claims on?
- UqWBcuFx6NV4r 10mo agoStop being so aggressive. You can look at Apple’s own published consent regarding Liquid Glass development. It’s very evident that it was thoughtful and involved.

- raw_anon_1111 10mo agoYou’ve never worked at BigCorp have you? At Amazon, part of the initial indoctrination when I was hired there was competitive messaging when talking to clients (I worked in ProServe) and what you were never allowed to say. I remember we could never say we had a “moat”. I’m sure there is approved marketing copy.
- matthoiland 10mo agoDear Apple, Please do not add liquid glass to your professional applications. Keep it simple, gray, performant, and functional. Thank you.
- sneak 10mo agoDoesn’t matter. The apps run on the OS, the latest hardware only runs the OS at the hardware release date and later. You’re getting the Fisher-Price UI whether you want it or not, even if the apps never change a thing.
- bromuro 10mo agoI like the Liquid Glass design so this is a point for me.
- elzbardico 10mo ago[flagged]
- sgustard 10mo agoAt least in the screenshots I did not notice absurdly large window corner radii.
- lynndotpy 10mo agoBecause every app is presented in fullscreen. Showing the windowing system would make sense if this was announced pre-LG.
- inatreecrown2 10mo agoNext version will probably "build on Liquid Glass", while moving away from it. At least that's my guess.
