The press release promised a \u201cdelightful and elegant new software design\u201d that \u201creflects and refracts its surroundings while dynamically transforming to bring greater focus to content.\u201d Today it launches globally onto <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/uk\/os\/ios\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.apple.com\/uk\/os\/ios\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/uk\/os\/ios\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">compatible Apple devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If you haven\u2019t encountered it yet, brace yourself. Inspired by visionOS\u2014the software powering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/apple-vision-pro\/\">Apple Vision Pro<\/a> mixed reality headset\u2014Liquid Glass infuses every Apple platform with a layered glass aesthetic. This is paired with gloopy animations and a fixation on hiding interface components when possible\u2014and showing content through them when it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The reaction during the summer\u2019s public beta program was divisive. And while some people just hate change, Liquid Glass does invite criticism. Instead of sharpening focus, it too often muddies it due to legibility issues and distracting visual effects. On Mac, controls are overly prominent, yet on iPhone, they are relentlessly eager to disappear into a new Apple take on hamburger menus, denying users the chance to build effective muscle memory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">At times, Apple even verges on parody. Its press release talked of \u201cestablishing greater harmony between hardware, software, and content,\u201d which in practice often means further blurring the line between interface and content and slapping huge rounded corners that echo the iPad\u2019s screen onto <em>every<\/em> Mac and iPad window. The result: chopped-off content and a baffling disregard for more conventional rectangles, the most efficient shape in the history of multi-window computing.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"feature-large-callout\" class=\"CalloutFeatureLargeWrapper-cAQNly bLNMaC\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-fkZDUs kHRAYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eEeytc eRSvCP asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-zEXFr hdztbW responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cGZhnX jwYQWO AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Apples own press images champion a desktop devoid of color making it tricky to distinguish between a row of \u201cetched...\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68c0190477e6e5ef6e1daacb\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/apple-liquid-glass-clear-icons.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jYrTxZ bkfwbX caption AssetEmbedCaption-fyuOdR eXMqGf asset-embed__caption\" data-testid=\"caption-wrapper\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gzmcOU BaseText-eqOrNE CaptionText-brNLzD deqABF imSbFE hMBSFK caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s own press images champion a desktop devoid of color, making it tricky to distinguish between a row of \u201cetched glass\u201d icons.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gzmcOU BaseText-eqOrNE CaptionCredit-eowWKH deqABF kpqIso kpuElq caption__credit\">COURTESY OF APPLE<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Style Over Substance?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/jonas.do\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/jonas.do&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/jonas.do\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jonas Downey<\/a>, designer of Hello Weather, doesn\u2019t entirely buy Apple\u2019s pitch: \u201cI dig Apple and weird flashy stuff and am impressed with a lot of execution details in the glass concept. But the new interfaces feel complicated and overbearing, with Apple imposing its own aesthetic ideas on everyone else. I could get on board if there was an obvious benefit,\u201d he adds, \u201cbut I haven\u2019t seen one beyond the old adage that user interfaces should get out of the way of content. That\u2019s a fine principle, but Liquid Glass too often does the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">He reels off a list of issues. Translucent components causing distraction. Low contrast making it harder to differentiate elements. Excess shading and dimension on buttons and tabs making them pop more than the content beneath them. This, he says, can result in <em>friction<\/em> rather than <em>focus<\/em>. \u201cLiquid Glass splits the difference between flat and skeuomorphic design, landing in a fragile middle space,\u201d he concludes. \u201cBy trying to become more floaty and deconstructed, the system ends up more visually complex.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For Ben McCarthy, creator of <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/obscura.camera\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/obscura.camera&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/obscura.camera\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Obscura Camera<\/a>, there\u2019s at least promise in the \u201cLiquid\u201d part of the equation: \u201cDynamic Island was praised for its fluidity\u2014how it expanded and contracted like viscous ink. Liquid Glass seems born of similar thinking, in that animations should be fun, dynamic, and rooted in material behaviors\u2014and that aspect is hugely successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The \u201cGlass\u201d\u00a0part, though? Not so much. \u201cApple\u2019s goal is to blend interface and content to reduce distraction, but I think Liquid Glass achieves the opposite,\u201d McCarthy says. \u201cIt creates distortions that catch your eye as content scrolls. There are fundamental legibility issues, because Liquid Glass can\u2019t control what passes behind it. And as the system tries to adapt, flipping between light and dark to stay readable, that only further adds to the distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple revealed Liquid Glass as part of its WWDC announcement this June, with all the pomp usually reserved for shiny new gear.
