Criticism mounts over Apple's iOS 26 update due to user-friendliness concerns linked to the Liquid Glass design
In a recent development, tech enthusiasts and Apple users alike have been discussing the latest iOS 26 update, which features a new iCloud-like design. Ashish Singh, the Chief Copy Editor at the platform, has been following the conversation closely.
The update has garnered a mix of reactions from users. On one hand, some Apple fans are praising the iOS 26 update and the iCloud-like design, describing the animations as fun, notifications as more satisfying, and the design as a welcome change from previous iOS versions. They have particularly appreciated Apple's technical execution, highlighting the light refraction and dynamic effects.
However, not all users are pleased with the new design. Criticisms include difficulty reading due to shifting colours and floating icons, sluggish animations on older devices, and an overall aesthetic that is too 'cartoony.' Other complaints include inconsistencies in design cues, blurry app icons, excessive taps for basic actions, visual flourishes draining battery life, and stability issues such as frequent screen freezes.
Despite the initial criticism, analysts do not expect Apple to backtrack on the iCloud-like design for iOS 26. Ashish Singh, who has been working with tech jargon since 2020 and is fluent in 'Geek' language, notes that there is a possibility that future updates will address these issues. The next likely OTA update, while not specifically named yet, is expected to address the majority of the issues with the iCloud-like design implementation in iOS 26. Users discuss tweaks such as disabling increased contrast under Accessibility settings to mitigate some visual problems, but no official update version is confirmed to fix the iCloud feature issues as of now.
Meanwhile, the tech world is also abuzz with rumours about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24, and S24FE. While no specific details are available, there are expectations that their prices will drop during a festive sale. Ashish Singh, who has previously worked for Times Internet and Jagran English, is keeping a close eye on these developments.
As the tech landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Apple addresses the criticisms surrounding the iCloud-like design and how Samsung's upcoming devices fare in the market. Stay tuned for more updates!
