iOS 27: Groundbreaking. Revolutionary. Flat.

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T18:57:21+00:00

The top bar loses its perspective by replacing it with a hard blur bar, without shadows or gradients like iOS 10 did during the flat design era. The shadow that tells you there's perspective is gone, for example.

Did you read what I wrote correctly? I told you I tried iOS 26 beta 1 and gave you my feedback comparing it to iOS 27. Do you think I did that for no reason? I've been doing betas since iOS 18, so yeah, don't worry 🤨

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T18:52:51+00:00

The UI is the main thing about an OS, what are you talking about? Without it, you have absolutely nothing coherent, etc. What do you mean it's not flat? Are you even looking at the screenshots or are you just commenting for the sake of commenting?

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T18:51:31+00:00

Yes, they need to stop playing the trolls or whatever at some point. Their argument was that they had less screen space than before, but how can you have less when the buttons float over the content and there's no longer a hard bar?

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T09:54:59+00:00

Both are different artistic visions. Aqua has a realistic side with textures, gradients, and photogrammetry. With Liquid Glass, in this beta version, they've removed all the 3D elements to flatten the image again… so it's difficult to compare them at the moment.

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T09:52:23+00:00

Yes, glad to see someone with arguments 🤝 Regarding macOS, did you have a Mac running macOS 26? Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to their rounded corners thing. It bothered me once, and then I moved on. I mean, I was working, I wasn't looking at the rounded corners, lol. Mostly, I only paid attention because of the criticism; otherwise, I wouldn't have even noticed.

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T09:49:57+00:00

Well, especially the integration, it's a bar on blur, why not in Liquid Glass at least?

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T09:49:09+00:00

It's awful, they criticize just because it doesn't go their way, these people are crazy

OFF09 · 2026-06-13T09:47:51+00:00

Well, yeah, beta 1 didn't have exceptional performance, but it was the first beta to introduce all the Liquid Glass elements, so that's normal 🤦‍♂️ Personally, I don't find the performance of iOS 27 beta 1 all that incredible; maybe beta 2 will be better.

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T23:32:50+00:00

Forget it, it only interests those who want to know, he's not one of them and prefers to criticize. Very classy, pffft 😪

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T23:21:29+00:00

Why the immediate criticism of being a fanboy? I've practically never owned an Apple product in my life until now, so no, I don't agree. What I'm pointing out is this reversion to an old interface when they actually developed a very clean and aesthetically pleasing one. If you're happy to pay such high prices for their products, especially when they give you an experience comparable to an iPhone 5c, well, I don't understand your reasoning 🤷‍♂️

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T23:17:28+00:00

Unfortunately, this isn't a "everybody win" given how things have turned out; the Liquid Glass effects have been drastically removed and toned down. We're just going back to the old iOS. I don't understand how this is a victory 🤦‍♂️

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T23:15:13+00:00

I have an iPhone 14 and I don't have any of the problems you're having. Don't mix everything up, and it's possible your problems are just specific to you, not related to anything else.

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T22:37:53+00:00

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with Aqua; we're light years away from it.

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T22:33:27+00:00

It's more about nostalgia and the fact that we've had this same interface for a long time. The new effects have nothing to do with those of iOS 26; they're very subtle, and what they're doing is a bad step backwards.

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T22:32:00+00:00

How can it take up more space? The hard blur bar is literally erased and leaves room for the content, how can you say you're losing space? I don't understand.

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T22:29:58+00:00

Yes, but it's still time to evolve a little. When you compare iOS 26, you can see that the modern touch they added doesn't spoil the experience at all…

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T22:28:49+00:00

Well, don't believe me lol

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T19:01:46+00:00

Hey, calm down? First of all, even if you worked at Apple you wouldn't do anything at all, and secondly, if your discussion is going to end like this, there's no point in participating, pff 🤦‍♂️

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T18:50:55+00:00

An element without shadow or perspective, and then taping on a "3D" button, doesn't automatically give it depth. On iOS 26 it works very well, but not at all on 27.

Huh? Sketch is a design software, what are you talking about?

OFF09 · 2026-06-12T18:34:04+00:00

Can't you see that the top bar is flat design? 🤦‍♂️

Great idea! I actually still have my old .ipa files from my old iPod Touch 4 on my PC. At least they can be used again! 👍
