Let's ignore those readability concerns for a second. Look at these satisfying Liquid Glass animations & visual effects on iOS 26.

I think Apple f*cked up because readability is more important than visual effect.

There is nothing that is hard to read in any of these examples.

Have you updated your phone to iOS 17?

bro this looks like an app that is displayed in an episode of spongebob

All they did was add an ugly shader and ruin Dynamic Island which was actually a creative feature

Also do keep in mind they have time in between the beta and final software release to add visual accessibility options/tweaks, based on customer feedback

Apple has always set the standard when it comes to animations.

the glass effect looks great but I don't really like the animation, there were better ways to make it more liquid-y and less jello-y.

Satisfying

You notice they removed the home bar as well 👀

I was thinking the same. The way the back button looks is insane
