    iOS 26.5 “Pride” Luminance Wallpaper Collection Not Installing

    I downloaded the newly released "Pride" Luminance wallpapers collection from Apple for iOS 26.5. It's showing a ✔️ mark on the "Add New Wallpaper" page, but I can't see the actual wallpapers. I downloaded iOS 26.5 just for these wallpapers, even though I read it has battery life issues! Also...

    iPhone PassKeepr: Create, Import, & Manage Custom Apple Wallet Passes (Open Source)

    Hi everyone, I'm the developer of PassKeepr, a free and open-source app for creating, importing, editing, and managing custom Apple Wallet passes. I built this because I wanted a simple way to make my own Wallet passes (loyalty cards, digital gift cards, store membership cards, etc.) and found...

    What is the point of "concentricity" on a Mac?

    Apple said they want concentricity as the justification for all the corner madness but I just can't get it, since all the texts/pictures/videos are squared (Also the display itself??? all corners for external displays, bottom corners for MacBooks). Why do they choose "concentricity" with Tool...

    Even With a New UI Head, Liquid Glass is Here to Stay

    There seems to be this belief floating around that with the departure of Alan Dye, Liquid Glass is going to be abandoned or significantly stripped back with OS ‘27. But not so fast… From Gurman’s newsletter this morning: “Q: Do you think Apple’s design team shake-up will lead to user interface...

    macOS Tahoe Brings a Pleasant Design Refresh with Liquid Glass, and Great New Features

    macOS Tahoe brings many benefits in my opinion. The unified Liquid Glass design language between Apple’s platforms make picking up projects on the Mac far more pleasant. And it feels like it fits much better within Apple’s ecosystem of devices. It feels congruent and consistent with Apple’s...

    Pixelmator Pro one time purchase is dead !

    Apple did update Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and all the others even after the release of creator studio but NOT PIXELMATOR PRO !! So we are stuck on 3.7.1 Apple also shows that they use the creative app : https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/pixelmator-pro/pix96e754af4/macos They also never...

    Accessibility and Liquid Glass

    Thanks Apple, for making my wife’s iPhone and mine totally useless. We’re in our 80’s and I have macular degeneration. I’ve done all the tips for ignoring Liquid Glass, but nothing helps. Thanks again.

    macOS Tahoe performance on Intel?

    I have a question about how well Intel-based Macs handle macOS 26 Tahoe. I already know that this version is more optimized for Apple Silicon and is the last version for Intel Macs, but I’m curious if older Intel Macs can still run it smoothly. Does Tahoe perform well on these four remaining...

    Any using iOS/iPadOS 26, but still using Sequoia for macOS?

    I'm seriously hating what I've seen so far of LiquidGlass on macOS 26.2 To paraphrase some famous words "One giant step backward for Mac-kind" But as far as I can see the implementation on iOS and iPad is less-worse, and I want to upgrade my iPhone & iPad to take advantage of latest security...

    iWork apps and Liquid Glass

    Does anyone know if Apple is planning to update the iWork apps for Liquid Glass? It seems strange that Apple hasn't given these apps a facelift to the new UI.

    Doing a 180 - Liquid Glass is actually fine

    Well guys, I've got to admit it. After being a liquid glass hater all summer I've finally come around, it's actually ok. It's definitely a new direction for Apple and I'm guessing that a lot of the unsuspecting public might be a bit confused or annoyed when they update, but after using it a bit...

    iOS 26 Like/Dislike Poll

    The contrast between different people's opinions on the Liquid Glass design is astonishing. Let's settle this. Please vote for whether or whether not you like the latest design changes, and make a comment if you have other thoughts, or there's something I missed.

    26 will be a stinker

    The RC is still a mess, carrying over bugs even from the very first beta. I recently had to reinstall 18 and then update to 26, and my hopes that some of these bugs may be gone were shattered the moment I started using the phone, because I even encountered visual issues I only ever read about...

    macOS Tahoe RC: Why I'm Holding Back

    I’ve been running the Tahoe betas across a few Macs, and just tried the RC again on another machine. Honestly? I’m still resisting the jump. Liquid Glass just isn’t clicking for me. On iPhone and iPad, I’ve made my peace with it. But on the Mac, it feels more like clutter than clarity...

    They love it!!

    Man….everyone I’ve showed iOS/iPadOS and MacOS absolutely loved it… It’s funny how the general public reacts compared to the niche community that we are!! (By general public I mean the people around me that do not care about this as much as us) I think Liquid Glass might be it, in comparison...
