Let me start with the positive – overall, I’m a massive fan of Apple's new Liquid Glass design language.
I’ve updated my iPhone to iOS 26 and my iPad to iPadOS 26, and I’ve honestly been shocked by how much I dig the new look. Thanks to livelier, more responsive animations and tasteful transparency and parallax effects, Apple’s mobile software feels alive in a way it hasn’t since the skeuomorphic days of iOS 6.
