Please tell me Apple accidentally left the OS version check off and everyone still rocking an old 3.5" iPhone just got an update notice.
You’re probably jesting, but I can’t see this happening because AFAIK iOS is imaged for specific phones - it’s not like Windows where it’s a generic software for any iPhone, it’s a .ipsw image that is iOS 26 for iPhone 14 Plus for example.
And then their battery exploded and everyone at Apple laughed. The end.
It’s a step towards bringing Frutiger Aero back and I’m all for it.
I don’t hate it.
It’s better than I thought.
Same here. Just upgraded and despite disliking the initial reveal this is pretty good. Feels playful and just a little less corporate.
On iOS I do like that toolbars get out of your way a bit more.
What’s funny is Google has the same idea with material design, but they just stuck big annoying floating buttons on top of the content. It wasn’t a bad idea, the execution was poor.
Editing that idea back and doing regular buttons and transforming the toolbars on iOS is an improvement.
Readability is better than I anticipated, except the clock and battery indicators need more definition.
I’m not a fan of this on my Mac though. I’ve found a ton of bugs there, it’s inconsistent, performance bugs and freezes, and the toolbar settings result in breaking behaviour per app.
Yeah the toolbars are the best upgrade
I think it’s an improvement overall, but there are places where background tinting on the glass and blurring should be stronger in order to improve contrast/readability. I still want pre-iOS 7 design back, though. Miss that aesthetic.
Pre-iOS 7 design with a dark mode would be amazing TBH
I wish. So much more readable.
It does feel a bit like it went back full circle…
I hope my wife doesn’t update by mistake. I would hear about that every day for some weeks.
I thought the same but my wife actually is indifferent to it for the most part. What she does like is message backgrounds.
Shoop (can tell from pixels)
