It’s really fascinating how third-party apps adopt Apple’s Liquid Glass. For some apps, like Things, changes are minimal… but for Craft, it’s a godsend. Flighty seems to sit in the middle. Does it depend entirely on Liquid Glass, or is it an interpretation by the developer of how far to take this new visual metaphor? It’s probably mostly the latter.

Well, I’m thinking of upgrading my M4 Mac mini to macOS 26 Tahoe… I know, I know, I’m very critical of Apple Liquid Glass, especially what it does to the Mac… but now, my Mac on Sequoia feels… should I say it… outdated? 🫣

My wife truly is a typical Apple user. Usually, I’d encourage her to update all her devices to Apple’s latest OSes. But this year, I think she would resent me for it. 🫣

Here’s a really strange thing: for some apps, adopting Liquid Glass seems to be a step back (lower information density, too much spacing in some areas), while for others, it appears to do the opposite and enhances the app. That’s the case for Craft. I genuinely believe Craft with Liquid Glass is much better. Craft’s take on Liquid Glass is well-balanced and executed. Bravo. Craft home view with Liquid Glass support

Even if I wanted to order a new iPhone 17 Pro Max to replace my 15 Pro Max, since I also need to buy two new protective cases—one for everyday use and the other for use with my bike—the operation would cost nearly 2,500 Canadian dollars with taxes. I don’t have that money. 😥

I can’t agree with John Gruber’s take on this dinner with Trump and tech company CEOs. Can you imagine if all tech CEOs refused to attend this dinner, abandoning Trump? How can they be so foolish as to think everything will be fine? Do you think Trump would then impose sanctions and tariffs on Meta, Google, Apple, and Amazon all at once? Trump’s invitations are traps that serve only his interests, nothing else. And if he can humiliate everyone, that’s just a bonus. Criticism should be directed at Trump and those CEOs, everyone. This whole situation is disgusting.

Among all the hands-on videos about the new iPhone 17 Pro, I didn’t see any tech pundits comment on the heat dissipation of the latest devices while handling them in their hands. I mean, just taking a bunch of photos and videos should have been enough. I can’t believe that they couldn’t feel it for a few minutes and reflect on their perception. They all miss the mark. Huh!

Apple Liquid Glass not only creates usability issues (harder to read, user content conflicts with prominent UI elements), but also somewhat reduces information density as well as content space, as illustrated in the following example with 1Blocker, before & after animated GIF.
