There are people who need to install Dev Beta 1, then followed by people who install Pub Beta 1. After lots of iteration and bug fixes, Apple releases the .0 version which goes mainstream. Quickly followed by a .0.1 bug fixes, because after all, those early beta adopters did not really test very well.
And then comes the big one: the 0.1 release which is the first version I recommend installing. And now it’s here for iOS 26 and the rest.
There is one important new display setting which fixes much of the damage done with Liquid Glass. You can now make things less transparent.
I will make one exception for macOS. If you can hold out on an older major release then wait for a few more minor releases and upgrade with .4 or .5.
And the best: at last you can disable the diagonal swipe gesture to start the camera on your lock screen. This had emptied my battery without being noticed fore more than one time.
Still one of the most frequently used gestures on my iPhone! So I guess people have different needs. 🙂
While I can cope with the often mentioned readability issues, I simple dislike the aesthetics of Liquid Glass. Who ever got urged to change the perfect shape of the UISwitch??????
If you can’t deliver AI you can still paint the UI.
Wait until 26.4 will be released in spring 26 – The AImpire strikes back! 🙂
Hope dies last….
Yep. Spiegelfechterei.
