Abstract
The article critiques Apple's Liquid Glass design in iOS 26, arguing that while it is visually appealing, it detracts from user experience by being overly distracting. The author highlights how the transparent toggle sliders, intended to enhance functionality, instead violate Apple's design philosophy by drawing attention away from their purpose. The piece reflects on the legacy of Steve Jobs, emphasizing that great design should prioritize usability over aesthetics. It concludes with a call for Apple to refine its design approach to ensure that beauty does not compromise functionality. [Extracted from the article]
