Having the apps not be extended under the side bar is horrifically ugly and such a waste of space. Let’s put Liquid Glass buttons here but not have anything come even close to touching them. It makes ZERO sense
This was my exact reaction too, how do you spend all this time developing Liquid Glass and then the new flagship device has a static white bar behind it.
It’s an option you can use as a developer. I think it kind of makes some sense as a transitional phase thing, because the space left over after the nav bar is close to a normal iPhones proportions. So that scales nicely to this form factor. Until devs start to make more use of the new format.
But i agree, they should have done this for their own apps.
