On Liquid Glass
Unlike r/iOS, r/macOS, r/iPadOS, r/apple and many other subreddits, here is a sane take on the new Apple design language, Liquid Glass by Frederico Viticci.
Whether you like it or not, Liquid Glass is the ultimate flex: only Apple is in a position today to build a real-time rendering system that combines the laws of physics of two real-world materials, make it look cool, and deliver it at scale across six operating systems and billions of devices at once. In the 12 years since iOS 7 (when Apple was only making two operating systems!), the company has put itself in a position to be able to deliver something like Liquid Glass today. I’m not saying that it’s perfect; I’m saying that the effort and scale behind it is unprecedented in the tech industry.
