Apple’s Liquid Glass UI is not a problem!
🍎📲💥 There’s been a wave of criticism around Apple’s new Liquid Glass UI — especially among designers.
But I can’t help but wonder: how much of it is genuine concern for accessibility and usability, and how much is performative outrage or virtue signaling?
Let’s not forget — this is a demo, not a finished product. Judging an under-construction UI as if it’s final is like complaining about a leaky roof before the roof is even built.
Yes, accessibility matters. Yes, legibility matters. But perhaps the louder concern should be elsewhere:
- Autocorrect that still struggles.
- Dictation that fumbles.
- Voice recognition that underdelivers.
- AI features that feel half-baked.
These are the core experiences that need urgent attention. Maybe it’s time we shift focus away from the gloss and toward the fundamentals.
