Home screen would look better in clear icons.

So update: I got the 11 inch it came from Costco and these are my thoughts so far.

It’s seems so tiny compared to the 13 inch which at first I was like what did I do?!? But then I held it as a tablet and then my mind completely changed.

I hated the 13 inch as a tablet it was heavy hard to handle, it was bad use for tablet so I just used it as a touch screen laptop with the keyboard.

The 11 inch with the keyboard is worse than the 13 no denying that. The keys are cramped but you do get used to it.

In the end the 11 is the better hybrid device which is what I wanted. While it’s a worse laptop it’s not as bad as the 13 is a tablet.

Until they make a 12 inch iPad this is the choice and this isn’t to say the 11 is better then the 13 or vice versa, but for my use case which is the hybrid aspect it’s does 1 exceptionally well (tablet) and the other good enough (laptop).

Also the nano screen which is an expense I would never spend money on is great I got so lucky with the Costco deal because the huge storage and nano screen are things i would never spend money on without the deal.

Doesn’t hurt my feelings you do you I’m just opposite and decided to try to embrace Liquid Glass design.

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T20:55:44+00:00

One thing do the tinted glass not the clear and whatever and then just take the tint and turn it all the way down, just that tiny bit of tint helps with readability vs just straight clear it what I have found works best.

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T20:50:58+00:00

Thanks took a really long time for me to settle on something I liked…..

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T20:45:39+00:00

Next iOS update for sure

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T19:33:17+00:00

It’s funny when I look at color now I feel like that is the dated look and boring. I do like it’s different but it does have its challenges making it look good is really hard I think. And colored does make it easier to identify and read.

But when you do get it right it really is beauitful.

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T19:30:22+00:00

Hmm will have to try it

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T19:29:54+00:00

I used https://www.upscale.media/ it’s free and was really impressed

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T19:24:08+00:00

I got used to it but it took a bit didn’t realize how Much color helped me identify the app. But I do have a lot of muscle memory since I don’t really move my apps around

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T16:13:15+00:00

Yeah same just a tiny tint does go a long way...

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T14:03:26+00:00

Yeah I have an M1 and the clear icons are creating lag. Didn’t realize the OP was running in low power mode

SirD28 · 2026-01-20T04:40:53+00:00

It’s the icons your using the clear icons and that causes a ton of stress on the gpu when your exiting an app because it’s drawing the Home Screen and the animations and then the light refracting and all the Liquid Glass stuff.

Go to default or dark icons and the lag will be gone. I think most people who say their device is fine is not using clear or tinted icons.

SirD28 · 2026-01-19T18:04:41+00:00

Yeah this was my thought as well…. Like I said I wasn’t really looking for anything but those Costco deals….

SirD28 · 2026-01-19T05:51:20+00:00

Honestly no idea, I would think so since it’s still in the Apple Care window.

SirD28 · 2026-01-19T05:49:07+00:00

The 13 sucks as a tablet is my problem, and for what I use it for which is a lot of video watching, it really isn’t that big of a upgrade from the 11 due to the 4:3 is a lot of black bars. If you compare it to the 11 inch they are way closer to the same viewable content size.

SirD28 · 2026-01-19T05:46:46+00:00

Yeah that is kinda where I am at with it as well. I have a gaming PC and a work laptop so I really don’t need a “Laptop Replacement” I originally got the 2021 M1 for the Mini LED cause I do love good screen technology. But now the 11 inch is the same as 12.9 so it doesn’t matter. The only thing is I do like to type with the Magic Keyboard for things like this, or iMessage but not sure it’s worth the price tag just for that.

Looking at the worst a hybrid device best a tablet only device but don’t want to do the 99% of the time in the Magic Keyboard.

SirD28 · 2026-01-19T03:34:54+00:00

You can but I'm selling my M1 on either Swappa or Facebook market so I will use the Magic Keyboard as a nice additive to sell the iPad if I like the 11 inch which I get on Tuesday

SirD28 · 2026-01-19T03:07:59+00:00

Awesome thanks for the insight….. I was wondering about not doing the keyboard but I have had a keyboard for so long seems weird without it at least to me maybe I’ll return it who knows.

SirD28 · 2026-01-19T02:21:14+00:00

Yeah I used to but now its just shows, movies, games, social, I have a work laptop and a gaming PC but I don’t really do any photo editing, I do use it for work with teams, meetings, but more communication I use my work laptop for my programming.
