Firstly, I want to acknowledge that I understand this is a beta version and that changes may occur. However, I must express my disappointment with the new Liquid Glass design, which does not meet my expectations. The Control Center is particularly unappealing. It appears as though the icons are simply placed on top of a blurred glass effect, positioned directly over the Home Screen.
This creates a disorienting experience, as the underlying content is visible through the Control Center icons, diminishing its usability. Moreover, the Login screen gives off strong iOS 7 vibes. While it does have a more 3D appearance compared to the flat design of its predecessor, it still misses the mark in terms of modern aesthetics. The overall impression feels outdated, rather than fresh and innovative.
Additionally, the edges of the folders are excessively sharp. A more translucent design would help soften the appearance, leading to a more cohesive look. Currently, the overall layering seems disjointed, creating a cluttered visual experience. Perhaps it’s just my perspective, but I genuinely believe that the design of iOS 18 was far superior to this Liquid Glass version.
The elements introduced in the previous iteration balanced form and function much more effectively, and I find myself longing for that thoughtful approach to design.
