Why Apple's 'Liquid Glass' Design Is a Step Backward for UX
Briefly

The unveiling of Apple's 'Liquid Glass' design at WWDC25 showcased hyper-realistic aesthetics that resemble physical glass. Despite its beauty, usability issues arise concerning readability and user interface experience. Notifications and buttons appear above blurred backgrounds, which detracts from the focus on content and creates visual noise. The elegance seen in concept renders may not translate effectively into practical, everyday use, resulting in potential challenges for users navigating the interface in real life.
Apple's new design language at WWDC25, 'Liquid Glass,' is described as beautiful with hyper-realistic reflections and transparency but raises usability concerns from a UX/UI perspective.
