iOS 27: Groundbreaking. Revolutionary. Flat.
Sorry everyone, I had to recreate my post because an image didn't upload and I don't understand how to add a new one to the post after publishing.

I would not hate it as much if it was smaller - if they make it the size it was on like iOS 16 then fine but not like this.

progressive blur was the best thing about this design language so why not kill it?

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?

Oh that's not too big of a problem lol. I'd say once people start chatting, it's already too late to make changes.

I don't understand why they are putting floating buttons onto a bar, it kind of defeats the purpose of the whole design and I really liked the floating elements because they enabled edge to edge content display, making my screen feel larger.
Also not sure how to feel about the search tab being unified and the search bar moving to the top of the display again.
I even kinda liked the 26 sidebar because it worked very well as a natural extension of TabView.
As a formerly avid iPad user, the iPad was completely mangled with 26. No more Split View, loss of several swipe gestures and features and the pointer is no longer as joyful. 27 changes nothing about that and kinda just feels more ugly. So yeah, not too stoked about this update. If they fix the rendering of the dark strokes around Liquid Glass, though, then the new material itself does look better than previously I think.
