People need to move on from it, it’s getting old now, people are focusing on iOS 27, it’s not going away whether people want it or not
Sorry ... not moving on. People will continue to make noise as long as it's as bad as it is.

The irony is they can turn it off with reduce transparency (besides other ways with customize Home Screen and tinted). But they won’t stop whinging.
No, reducing transparency is not turning it off. Turning it off would be a switch to disable transparency, completely. That also does nothing for the horrible shape-shifting borders around icons and widgets.

..and until then, I'm sticking with iOS 18.

I agree that we need to move on from Liquid Glass, but we can’t unless Apple does.

Reducing transparency (and all the other available settings like Increase Contrast, Tinted Liquid Glass, etc) isn't the same as turning it off.
