A Responsibility to the Industry

lmnt.me · Jul 18

Firstly, I maintain that it makes absolutely no sense that Alan Dye has the power he has, because he simply has no taste. But what’s worse is that he wields that power so clumsily, so carelessly. And because it goes unchallenged, unchecked by someone higher than him, the entire industry suffers...

Feedback, Part 2.

A week or two ago, I honestly don’t remember the specifics, I installed the Developer Beta of iPadOS 26 on my M1 iPad Pro. I was curious about Apple’s “Liquid Glass” and wanted to see what all the hype is about.

In its current form, I really don’t like Liquid Glass. In fact, I’ll take it a step further and say that it makes me angry. It’s a huge distraction effort from Apple to trick users into thinking there’s innovation, when Apple has failed on their Apple Intelligence front, the Vision Pro seems to be gasping on its last breath, and the iPhone line is basically the same old, same old, just faster, year over year.

Aside from a daily round of Solitaire, my M1 iPad Pro has largely sat unused since the upgrade to the beta of iPadOS 26. This morning I decided to give it another whirl and write a few blog entries and tend to a few other personal matters using the device.

Within 60 minutes I found myself frustrated and angry at the “Liquid Glass” experience.

First of all, Liquid Glass takes on the color of the elements under the controls for an application. So if you are using the operating system in dark mode, but the web page rendered in Safari is black text on a white background, the entire application switches to that color.

Give that a whirl at midnight and see how your eyes enjoy that experience.

If there are some elements on the app that are light and some are dark, the controls for that section of the app switch to that mode. Here in this example we see some controls are in light mode and some are in dark mode.

Screenshot

The bubbly, round corners are very distracting from the work I’m trying to accomplish. Perhaps it’s my brain chemistry that is struggling and not everyone will find the same distraction. However, Apple has always been considered a leader in accessibility in the tech space, and Liquid Glass completely abandons all of that for cosmetics over function.

So sad.

I’m big on giving feedback during beta evaluations, after all, that’s why beta versions of software have traditionally been released, though these days they’re just part of marketing. After watching things slide around and pulsate and flip colors and do all sorts of weird things, I’d had enough.

Screenshot

I set the M1 iPad Pro aside and went back to my Linux laptop. It’s ancient and gasps a bit when loading YouTube videos, but I know what it’s going to do and I don’t feel like a bunch of distraction slop is being foisted onto my system all in the name of “something fresh and new”.

Maybe I sound like an old guy who wants to kids off his lawn. I don’t care. At least it’s my lawn.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*) (@david_chisnall) · Jul 18

A few times recently, I've made point that software design reflects the business and economic models behind it. And, importantly, that Free Software should stop copying designs that came from proprietary software because it's both failing to capitalise on the benefits of Free Software and also putting itself on a weaker footing.

This is an excellent article about the lack of respect for UI design in Tim Cook's Apple. But underlying it is an unspoken assumption:

That the goal of an app is to make you not spend time in a competitor's app.

This is a requirement for proprietary software and it's fine for an article about the iOS ecosystem to take it as axiomatic. But it absolutely is not a requirement for any Free Software program. And, to end users, the lack of individual visual identity from different vendors is a benefit, because it means that the tight coupling of visual clues and behaviour makes it easier to transfer learnings from one app to another. This is a place where Free Software could provide a clear benefit, but in fact ends up doing the opposite.

Unfortunately, this tall tale paints Gary as a ‘could-have-been,’ ignores his deep contributions, and overshadows his role as an inventor of key technologies that define how computer platforms run today.
