"With Liquid Glass, iOS gains personality and macOS loses some of its soul"...truer words haven't been spoken. I'm on a very weird point where I am excited about updating my iPhone to iOS26 but completely against the idea of updating my MacBook to macOS 26.
I’m not excited to update iOS at all. I’ve been testing the latest iPadOS and it’s just not good. I hate to think what it would be like on a device I use as often as my phone
“This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint. It’s a foundational shift toward a multiplatform future—one that will eventually extend into the real world” Yes, multiplatform UX, just like Windows 8… and remember what did happen?

I very much feel the same way. But I'm going to do my best to make art for the desktop that makes me excited for these new constraints.
Onward Michael! Your work is one of the most inspiring things I look forward to myself 🙌🏻

The idea of a more dynamic and tactile UI sounds awesome. I’m not seeing any examples of that concept in the current liquid glass UIs.
Could you give some examples of what that would be like?
