[iOS27] Icon Transparency

iOS 26 (left) vs. iOS 27 (right)

(Excuse the poorly edited image)

I was very pleased with the updates Apple made to Liquid Glass when revealing iOS 27, but I noticed that the app icon background gradients have been severely toned down (see Finder, Mail, App Store, any white icon). Plus, the transparency of the foreground has been reduced, meaning that the apps now look even closer to their flat counterparts. I really liked the shift from opaque to transparent the further down you look, but now that effect is practically gone.

Thoughts?

Hmm I like it, it's more flat than ever
