For those who arrived late, Apple unveiled a translucent user interface called Liquid Glass that makes basic tasks more challenging. Notifications are unreadable, Control Centre icons disappear into the wallpaper, and the whole thing looks like it was cobbled together by an AI intern inspired by Windows Vista.

To make matters worse, Jobs' Mob  took its sweet time introducing a redesign, but even then rushed development to give users something to "desire" if they could not have the same AI that android users have enjoyed for years .

Memes mocking Liquid Glass haven’t held back online. As one Redditor put it:

“is this a joke, this looks very bad. It’s damning to see Apple's flashy interface look worse than something “AI” could design." 

Others thought that the animations were good, but the impact it has on icons with overlaying is a little too much.. Some users have  pointed out that the Liquid Glass interface reminds them of the Windows Vista era, which worked more or less the same way.

Additionally, Samsung pointed out OneUI 7 implemented glass-like elements in its update. Its version was not in beta and did not have any of the issues that Apple fanboys were complaining about.

Even Nothing’s Carl Pei cautiously liked the aesthetic, posting on X: "Liquid Glass ... I kinda love it?" But the jury’s still out on whether this glassy gloss can mask the substance deficit.

These comments aren’t just casual griefing they’re a chorus of disappointment in a product that was years too late to preempt the real challenge of getting AI-driven smarts to work. Instead, Apple slapped a shiny coat of Liquid Glass over it vacuum of genuine innovation.
