Fuck, no, Apple. I was forced to update to iOS 26 due to lack of security updates for 18 on devices that can run 26 (i.e., due to extortion) but you’re not infecting my Mac with Liquid Ass.
Notice the dark pattern of pestering you in hopes you will accidentally hit the “Restart” button even though you’ve specifically turned off auto updates. Microsoft-level disrespect for consent here.
(Not surprising from a company that gives golden awards to fascists.)

Goodness those pop-up menu animations are the worst. And no way to disable them (reduce motion doesn’t affect them). Meaningless, gratuitous skeuomorphism that fails at even the basics of modeling the physical integrity of its source material.
What a shit show.
Liquid Ass should be a cautionary case study in Interface Design 101.
*smdh*
BOTH of my kids butt dialed me today. I feel loved.

Warning: kissing fascist ass may result in liquid glass.
So my phone tricked me into updating to iOS 26 (nice one, asshats). And wow: it really is a case study in form over function. Gratuitous, meaningless aesthetics and motion. Decoration, not design. “Look what I can do!”
Oh well, if it gets me using my phone less, that’s a good thing, I guess.
But the next time you hear someone from Apple talking about design, please feel free to laugh in their damn faces. What a sad joke they’ve become.

“Apple is only continuing to patch iOS 18 on devices that can’t run iOS 26.”
Wow. So not only has Apple lost any design culture it had, it also doesn’t give a shit about your security either any longer. This is the mother of all dark patterns right here.
Anyone know if this is the same for macOS?

This one weird trick will make you love Liquid Glass.
This is me, unable to send the previous post on @MonaApp on iOS 26 because the keyboard is covering the send button.
(The workaround, as I’ll soon be employing for this post also, is to go to close the post, tap outside it to close the pop-up confirmation dialogue, and then use the send button, which becomes accessible again.)
🤦♂️
Apple cares so much about accessibility that they are now baking accessibility needs into their interfaces just so you can experience their accessibility features.
If you’ve been tricked into updating to iOS 26 also (because, really, what numbskull in their right mind would subject themselves willingly to that Shakespearian clusterfuck?), the reduce transparency and reduce motion accessibility settings are your friend.
Sure, your phone will look and feel worse than before but that’s a small price to pay for progess, amirite? Now stop your bitching before Apple sets ICE on you or something.
Nah, fuck it, turned everything back on again. Why should I fix your damn broken interface and fool myself into thinking this piece of shit is anything but? Going to experience iOS 26 in all its enshittified glory. Will make it easier to hate this phone and move onto something more ethical once it finally croaks.
Apple is likely one release cycle away from going full Microsoft/Google anyway.

iOS 26 gave screenshots a hidden power I’ve started using a lot https://9to5mac.com/2026/01/09/ios-26-gave-screenshots-a-hidden-power-ive-started-using-a-lot/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@adamengst joins us to valiantly attempt to explain to us how the new Phone app is supposed to work in iOS 26. He’ll demystify the Classic and Unified views and even help you figure out how to call someone from the calls list in the two different views.
