I miss the iOS 18 design

Totally agree. It seems like they’d satisfy the vast majority of people if they had a way to control how “liquid” vs “frosted” the glass is in various places. For me, I think I’d have it frosted everywhere.

Sometimes it’s also about the *way* Apple frosts the Liquid Glass.

In the screenshot here, one bubble looks like frosted glass. One looks like frosted plastic to me.

I only got it to add Preview to my iPad; however; to me it was not worth it.
So I'm trying to decide if hooking my iPad up to life support and going back to 18 is worth it > in a while there will be all those constant upgrade reminders.

It's kinda like the pseudo oxygen monitor fakeout that Apple just pulled off. Paired iPhone my my foot. Perhaps I go back to a Garmin watch also.

Hummm, shattered glass everywhere is starting to sound good to me. My iPad goes on life support tonight.

If you'll upgrade next month anyway, then I would leave it. But if you intend to return to 18 and never upgrade, then sure.

Howdy chabig,
I appreciate the reply.
To be honest, it is an older iPad Pro and so yes I am considering never upgrading. I do not like the look and I just got an app (non-subscription) that does a great job with PDF files; Preview still has a way to go to catch up with the desktop version.
