My dad went from a 15 Pro running iOS 18 to a 17 Pro running iOS 26 (because AT&T offered him a great trade in deal). I asked what he thought of the new iOS design with Liquid Glass, and he said he didn't notice any difference š
To me, this is a hilarious counterpoint to all the online commentators who spent months ranting about the usability and legibility of Liquid Glass and acting like it was the end of the world. Meanwhile in the real world, normies like my dad, who is actually very averse to change and doesn't even like to upgrade his devices, have zero complaints and just go about using their phone as if nothing has changed.
The moral of the story is that most things that make people lose their minds on social media and the forums don't even register with the vast majority of Apple users. They're mainly just controversies drummed up by press & influencers as engagement bait and then amplified by legions of trolls with too much time on their hands and a desperate need for attention.
