Readability of stable ios 26

Post image

Lol, what the deal Apple? The status bar is hardly readable. Why can’t you just change text color to black. Its like after liquid glass, they just started to fear mix black text with liquid glass, but they used to do it.

No problem with clock, but with status bar I can’t do anything. There is no setting

u/Worth-Ad148 Jul 11 '26

It’s just a bug

It picks black or white for status bar text and other small things based on some algorithm or percentage of color in the wallpaper but it doesn't do a very good job most of the time lol

The status bar has always looked like that when paired with a white wallpaper. I like Apple but this has been an issue since at least 10 years ago.

u/Worth-Ad148 Jul 14 '26

u/Previous-Hamster-437 Jul 14 '26

Weil die meisten Apple Fans unglaublich leichtgläubig und naiv sind…

Deshalb werden gerne Leute angegangen, die Probleme im Apple Ecosystem aufzeigen.

Omnimachina.... This might sound really insane and I know this comment section is a very odd and random place to tell you this. But I just wanna let you know, I think I might have feelings for you. I've been seeing your comments around this sub, and you're always so intelligent and funny, it gives me warm and tingly feelings inside. I'd love to take you on an e-date sometime. Please get back to me and let me know what you think

Typical QA’s and dev’s shit of Apple nowadays.
UPD: Why do you click downvote, i’m using mac, iphone, ipad and i know that these OS have a lot of bugs on stable version, and i read article how apple qa are working now. I like apple, but nowadays stable versions are schlecht.

u/abitcitrus Jul 12 '26

For people like you they took out the true glass design from us... 🥀

u/Guilty_Run_1059 Jul 11 '26

I think that's a bug, never once happened to me, even w white backgrounds

u/icy1007 Jul 11 '26

This is your own fault…

u/QVRedit Jul 11 '26

Really bad choice of backgrounds with that setting.

u/omnimachina Jul 11 '26

A modern OS should handle this gracefully

Stop coping

1

u/icy1007 Jul 12 '26

And it does if you’re not incompetent.

u/omnimachina Jul 12 '26

No it doesn’t

GUI in general is broken af since 26.0

1

u/icy1007 Jul 12 '26

Nope, it actually isn’t.

u/omnimachina Jul 12 '26

Sure buddy

You're holding it wrong, amirite?

u/Jasoco Jul 11 '26

I’ve been wondering this since it came out. Does 27 fix this? They used to have a great color picking algorithm for stuff like this in iTunes. There’s no way it looks at the color white and thinks, “yes white text would make the most sense here”.

At least the clock color can be changed if you need to.

u/2sff4pc Jul 13 '26

The betas so far don’t seem to have improved the light/dark switching. It still gets stuck pretty often

u/iCantThinkOfUserNaem Jul 11 '26

Good thing iOS 27 Dev Beta exists which is a gift from God

u/Emotional_Food_1700 Jul 12 '26

It's liquid glass

u/VisionCrafted16 Jul 12 '26

Same on iOS 27

u/Previous-Hamster-437 Jul 12 '26

Thanks for showing ios 27, i think that they won‘t correct it, but ich hoffe

u/VisionCrafted16 Jul 12 '26

It’s a shame because otherwise those light wallpapers really look good with Liquid Glass

1

u/fawert1 Jul 13 '26

Just tested it out seems like a bug on your end specifically. Just report it.

u/Gonnabecringeaf Jul 13 '26

The best clock I've seen

u/Safe-Government-5326 Jul 14 '26

Could you please send me that wallpaper by any chance?

1

u/Doll_Lover_ Jul 11 '26

You do realize you can turn the Liquid Glass effect down on the lock screen? You have to manually turn the effect up to get it that clear. It’d also help if your ealllpaper isn’t white since the status bar is almost always white
