Apple should've held Liquid Glass back until next summer, after much more internal testing and editing.

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

I see obvious issues from a contrast perspective, but also: "Liquid Glass" looks absolutely horrendous from an ADHD perspective. Yes, let's have the static part of the UI literally flash and draw attention as it remains still!
These Apple press demos are wildly distracting to my eye; I'm happy I don't use any Apple products, but don't look forward to everyone trying to copy the worst parts of this gaudy aesthetic.

The real takeaway here is that tech reviewers, YouTubers, bloggers, and journalists have all been pulling punches with Apple for a loooong time to hang on to access. Anyone who walks out of WWDC with an interview or hands-on should really be assumed to be compromised and untrustworthy. It's been true for a long time, but now that Apple's just another mediocre profit-at-all-costs cutthroat tech giant, it must not go unspoken. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/29/no-apple-executives-talk-show-live/
