The first thing I wondered was if it changes with Reduce Transparency. Legibility is key for me.
Got a tip for us?

I have an idea, let’s make all the medical tools in surgeries transparent. They are so ugly anyway?? Doctor’s really appreciate when the OR is nice and tidy.
Those of you who say it’s just a beta and everything will be fixed in the official release. But what if it isn’t? Will you still defend it?
you need a new computer but won't do that because of the GUI? 🤔
"i need this surgery but i'm not doing it, because i don't like the aesthetic of the surgical tools"....
They aren’t golng to change that much
Beta’s are for testing software, not overall aesthetic
The design is the design and it is such a disaster that the only way I would change my judgement is if they abandoned it altogether,
Which is not going to happen
The entire concept is anti-user and places the UI on front of the actual software and content
public betas are intermediate steps between developer betas. it's a (somewhat) straight line forward to the final release (usually immediately followed by the next series of developer & public betas).
no OS is ever fully a finished product.
That was not my experience over the past few years. Public betas have been so far a mostly solidified products and any fixes were limited to under the hood stuff.
The real question is, is he a developer? If not, her opinion is „not worth listening to, yet“!

I agree with his points. I have started noting down drawbacks of this design in Notes and it gets worse and worse every day.
Liquid Glass isn’t it, chief.

No, I would prefer to not perform surgery if I can barely see the tools.
Exactly, no body wants to complain about their Mac, iPhone or iPad.
Yet here we are, with a visual refresh that messes with previous conceptions of where what is and what it does.
There are still many valid feature requests floating around, I don’t think anyone was really asking for any more transparency or small animations when stuff happens.
That’s why people complain, rightfully so.
Apple should focus on perfecting the way it is before introducing something entirely new. iOS 26 fixes not a single one of my issues thus far but introduces many new ones.
Not a great analogy but I’ll help you along
He’s going to get the surgery, but he is going to try have it done by the surgeon who has the most precise easy to use instruments, not the one with giant transparent toy instruments
It baffles me that people seemingly STILL believe that Apple will be willing and capable to change soo much in 2 months.
Why are we not allowed to judge Apple by their own opening keynote at their own World Wide Developer Conference?
Why are we not allowed to complain about glaring drawbacks and oversights after we have witnessed how reluctant Apple is to change course?
Why should we only judge a major redesign shorty before it will be released to everyone and not during its beta process?
I find these type for articles hard to read/understand when there are no images/screenshots of whats being criticized.
I believe the original analogy is poor because the author equates buying a computer, somethat you will stare at and use by yourself with having somebody else do something for you which clearly is not the same.
I better analogy might have been 'I'm a carpenter and I'm not going to buy new tools I have to use every day because for some reason they are transparent.'
By the time it comes out in September, people are gonna love it. It’ll be copied by other companies like always.😂
who is Louie Mantia? and why an article without any screenshots to highlight what looks bad?
We've got some morning comps between High Sierra & Tahoe from STS

We'll see later this year.
But even if it's running, looking and feeling great, there will always be folks who won't like it. 🤷♂️
"most all of it" should cover "what looks bad" 😂
This covers a lot of my feeling about it:
New one looks better to me.
Those of you who say it will stay this way and not get better in the official release. But what if it is? Will you say, you ranted to soon?
To me the second options look much nicer.
