I have intentionally withheld updating my daily drivers to iOS 26 because of Liquid Glass. But if I had to pick between two evils - diminishing UX quality and shoving AI into every corner where no one asked for it - I’d still pick Liquid Glass.
The Apple Intelligence features are some of the more subtle ones overall compared to other companies like Google and Microsoft IMO
Work is talking about upgrading our Macs to macOS 26. I'm holding off for now.
26.2 is looking a lot less glassy. If you want to avoid the glass, I’d wait for its full release.
