Why do you suppose that would be?
It's almost like folks aren't enjoying the forced visual change for the sake of change.

That GarageBand icon is an absolute abomination. Not only is that guitar missing a bridge, everything about its shape and the way the color is applied, is completely off. It looks like an icon for some malware garbage that will trick you into paying a weekly subscription.
Apple have clearly been having trouble hiring top notch design talent.
It's evident everywhere in the software, across all the platforms.
I know someone who asked me about Hackintoshing their PC specifically for GarageBand. So it certainly has its audience.
4 shareholder downvotes for your blasphemy!
Sharing personal preferences? Downvote! (really smh at that one)
This is the first year I haven't upgraded iOS and, the longer I wait, the happier I am that I'm still on iOS 18.
They must have used Image Playground to generate the new icon.
I suppose it's because some people are happiest when they have something to complain about.😁
Forced? 🤣 Nobody is forcing anybody to use Apple products. There are plenty of competitors out there.
If you care about privacy, stability, security and compatibility, there aren’t that many.
We could really use some more, actually.
For professionals in creative and software engineering fields that use Macs professionally, you could even make the argument that there aren’t any competitors out there. I would.
I absolutely love Photomator as it's almost the only way to work with HDR photos (except for Lightroom which is made by Adobe so lol no thanks)
But I the pace of updates and bug fixes is lacklustre even after the acquisition. I would expect more from Apple. Hopefully they step it up?

No, there are plenty of good companies out there.
But there is no real alternative to macOS as a platform for certain workflows.
Personally, I wish there were some. But at this stage, given the maturity of the market, it’s extremely unlikely to happen.
Ok I am confused. This post is about iOS and liquid glass. Not sure why you brought in macOS.
I go back to my original point, basically every comment in this thread is a complaint. Yes, people are complaining about GarageBand icon re-design. Not the app itself, an icon. I can hear Allen Iverson now “we talking about an icon….icon”
My point still is valid, there are plenty of phone options out there for people to choose from if they are so unhappy with what Apple puts out. It wouldn't matter anyway because if somebody moved to competitor, they would likely complain about the operating system or phone. And that goes to my other post, some people are happiest when they are unhappy and have something to complain about.
If people want Apple to change, they should speak with their wallet. If enough people follow suit, Apple will be forced to change.
Have a good one!

If Apple are being Apple... chances are those teams who do software like iWork apps could have seen Liquid Glass for the first time when we did at WWDC... And that their development roadmap never got disrupted since inevitably, during the beta it was being changed a lot, and since release it has been changed a lot. Makes sense that they would hold off until maybe 6 months after release before implementing the current Liquid Glass, changes and all, into the iWork suite ... since it's visual and they have other stuff to be working on for it.
Poor trillion dollar company just hasn't got enough resources. 🙄
Thank you thank you for the morning chuckle. “Vaseline Soup” is now my official name for the silly Liquid Glass appearances, and far more descriptive (and accurate!).
Yeah it’s almost as if SOME folks aren’t enjoying the changes both functional and visual. Some are.
They've got the resources but they've also got a completely different means of approaching nearly every aspect of product design... planning.. collaboration. Hence you know, the trillion dollar valuation...
