After using iOS 26 for a few weeks, I think Apple missed the mark on Liquid Glass. Some effects make UI and text unreadable. It’s particularly painful in Safari. The elements are frantically switching between light/dark as you scroll a page.

Uncharacteristically unpolished UI for Apple.

In my 10 years of building apps, one of the most important things I learned is I hate seams.

Seams are friction. Seams are papercuts. Seams are breaks in your UX. And one seam is slow app launch.

I work hard to keep my apps' launches seamless. I wish all Windows apps were seamless too.

It’s unfortunate that Azure Portal running on Microsoft Edge running on Windows on Surface Pro 12” has bugs like this. Meanwhile, everything runs fine on my iPhone.
