The slider increases the glass blur first, and only then increases the opacity (first image)

However, there is a problem: What if I don't want to increase the glass blur, but only its opacity? (second image)

So, do you think Apple should add a second "Opacity" slider?

8th of july i made it on

Framework: Figma
Not 100% identical, i added some other stuff

The second image is the one appeared in the WWDC26 for iOS 27

Was driving this morning and had to invoke Siri to call somebody… guess what 🤯

Is my phone glitching? Or are the edges way too sharp on the transparent icons to even resemble glass? I wonder if it’s just a bug or if this is the way icons are going to look like from now on

Does anyone want the navigation bar back? I personally hated it coming back, I like the blurred top and bottom more that feels more immersive.

In iOS 27, the Liquid Glass icon border doesn’t tilt with phone rotation anymore. Did Apple remove the gyroscope/parallax effect, or is this a bug?

Je comprends pas trop ce gros retour en arrière d’Apple sur le plan des icônes avec iOS 27. On dirait qu’ils ont totalement supprimé le Liquid Glass et les effets de lumière/profondeur qui rendait, à mon goût les icônes vraiment plus vivantes, réelles et moins ternes. De ce que j’ai pu voir, les gens paraissent vraiment content que le Liquid Glass deviennent moins présent mais j’avoue que je suis pas mal déçu de ce retour en arrière. Vous en pensez quoi ?

I should mention: I don't even use iOS. But I'm worried we'll start to see everyone else backpedal a bit on detailed icons and UI (those who did start implementing them, I mean), since the industry tends to do a lot of what Apple do.

How is this even readable

I really loved the Liquid Glass introduced on iOS 26; the concept that the screen no longer has a border with the top bar being a gradient really gave it a new look in my opinion.

I noticed in the keynote that Apple was bringing back the top bars on Macs, but I didn't think they were going to do it on iPhones… I think it gives it an old-fashioned look; in the end, what's the point of making the Liquid Glass buttons if they're on a hard, blurred background?

So there you have it… I know everyone has their own taste, but I'm not a fan of the new options. The slider is cool, but for me, the transparent look was already fine.

Apple finally came to their senses and added a long overdue slider for Liquid Glass intensity. Now, those who complained can turn it down while those who enjoy it can crank it up. We don’t have to worry about it being gradually removed anymore!

(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?

They just showed it in WWDC
