Slide-over is going to make a LOT of people happy. That was one of the most egregious removals from the iPad and a deal breaker for many many users.
Agreed. That was peak iOS UI.
You don't understand how remarkable that change is because Jony Ive isn't explaining it to you with his accent. He'd tell you how the design team painstakingly spent hours figuring out the optimal spacing right down to the pixel. Or how about how they spent hours on the animation to make you believe that you are sliding the highest quality glass across a cushion of air. It's absolutely magical. MAGICAL! DON'T QUESTION THE ALL MIGHTY APPLE!
I hope this feature is added to the Apple Watch. I once ended up getting to work late because I accidentally tapped the off button instead of snooze.
All I care about is: does it fix the absolutely garbage N1 networking chip’s issues, or do I need to just suck it up and make the long trip to my nearest Apple Store and demand a replacement for this overpriced slab of aluminum and glass that can’t stay connected to my car for more than 90 seconds?
The slide over for the iPad has to do with multitasking and multiple windows open at once, not the slide to snooze change.
I agree though, it would be nice to have the slide to snooze on the watch.
I’m kind of shocked to say it, but you know what? Liquid Glass has kind of grown on me. I’ve had Reduce Motion activated for years, but the iOS 26 update actually encouraged me to turn it back on, and I like it with this UI style. These smaller updates sound useful.
All I want is a separate SPEAKER button when I make calls. WHY do I have to press through a menu jsut to select speaker when im driving? This is as stupid as not including COPY and PASTE in the early days. Do apple employees not use the phone for making calls?
It is awful and I can’t believe Apple (and users) actually thought that looks good. People hate liquid glass but it’s a million times better than that trash. I’m glad it’s gone. Makes it look like a cheap kids toy.
