Please Apple, do me a favor, and ship beta5 today because I want to see the light but not through this Liquid Glass.
Using an external display with iPadOS 26 beta4 is still very problematic, especially when invoking the Control Center, the Notifications Center and dragging windows from the iPad to the external display.
Still no clear effects of Apple Intelligence delays on Apple’s bottom line, apparently. Apple is not doomed, just yet.
Even the mouse cursor in iPadOS 26 is now distracting. As seen in the following short video, the cursor transparency adapts to the background. Even more troubling is that for the same area, the cursor can end up being either black or white. Another case documented in the Liquid Glass crashes against the user experience.
Liquid Glass disillusioned here: Dear Apple, if an app constantly needs to darken or lighten the background or adjust control transparency for the user interface to be barely usable, perhaps this indicates a flawed approach to user interface design? 😵💫
Windows PC is a powerful platform for gaming, with high frame rate, gorgeous graphics and animation, and so on and on… so why is a modern pro laptop running the latest OS, Windows 11, still struggles when resizing windows? It’s 2025. But, hey, we have AI everywhere, right? 🤷🏻♂️😒
As much as I have issues with Liquid Glass on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, I kind of like it a lot on watchOS. 🤷🏻♂️
As reported from MacRumors: A new button for camera-related functionality coming to the iPhone 17 Pro? Will they fix or improve the Camera Control? I hope they work on that, too, just like when the iterated on the haptic engine in the early days of the iPhone.
Public betas already?? Wow. Apple must be confident enough. I’m not.
At beta 4, my general sentiment toward Apple Liquid Glass is generally worse than it was with iOS 7, back in 2013. 😵💫
