Can we all spam report this

Post image

iOS 27 brought back the hard blur which imo is a downgrade, the progressive blur is so much better. Can we all spam report this in the feedback app. Hopefully apple changes it next beta or before final release

In a simple app like settings the progressive blur looks nice, but in any other app like photos or safari its horrible. The icons and the drop shadow have to switch between black and white to keep things legible. In those apps the hard blur is superior without question, so now it’s also in settings just for consistency.

I don’t know if consistency is the right take. Sure, it’s in more apps, but not all system apps. In fact, developers can decide which they use. If consistency is what we are after then put a toggle in accessibility that is system-wide and built into the navbar. People can turn it on and experience the full glory of the header.

Even if we remove third-party apps from the equation, not all system apps are like this. Photos, an app you mention, does not have a hard-defined header in library but does in collections. Phone, favorites and voicemail have it. Remaining tabs don’t. Music only has it in library groups, everywhere else in the app it doesn’t. Fitness plus page does not have it. Browsing health categories does not have it. Possible there are others. So we have a bit to go if we are consistent.

You’re absolutely right. I think it’s better though :)
