iOS 26 Beta evolution: blur → more blur → even more blur Apple really said "what if we made text completely unreadable" and called it design innovation Translucency was cool in 2004 when we first got GPU acceleration. It's 2025. 20 years to realize it's just visual noise. ABANDON SHIP 🚢💀 #apple

We have been trained to see small changes in UI alpha blending or the San Francisco font weight as culture-shifting innovations:)

What I don't understand is, how anybody at Apple UX thinks CLEAR helps to find Apps ... At least give the glass the color value of the App Icon. Did a little Mockup

I read Jef Raskin's book years ago and realised how much of what worked well at apple came from that person and his team. The best things about OSX were what was brought over from NextStep That is a long time ago and they've really lost their way.
