Liquid glass is permanent. Crap. At least that should give them time to figure out and fix why this garbage visibly struggles and sometimes takes seconds to render simple layouts on a latest-generation iPhone 17.

Are they talking about the design language or the liquid glass material?
I had to update to iOS 26 recently. The liquid glass material is by far the worst aspect of it... but if it could be disabled I would be ok with most of the new UI changes.
Tahoe is a disaster though. I will stay with Sequoia until they fix that mess.

There is good, useful content in this article, but it is seriously overshadowed by the LLM-isms indicating that a nontrivial part of it is AI generated.
I'm obviously channeling my inner boomer here, but as soon as I start seeing the tells of AI authoring, I just give up on the article altogether. To the author, please consider that I and many others want to see your thought process, warts and all, there is no need to hide behind the facade of the LLM screed.

This article is just an ad for a consultant. It's also at least partially AI written, which is evident e.g. from the parentheses in the subheadings.

My colleague refuses to update his iPhone so long as liquid glass exists. I've tried to encourage him to do so for the security updates, but he says that he's fully aware of the danger, but refuses to update because every time he does, Apple gives him something he doesn't want and takes away something he likes.
