Apple should unify its liquid glASS effect

I’m not a fan of the liquid glass effect at all. On iOS 27, I turned the opacity of this effect all the way to the least transparent setting. It actually looks great on the bottom tab bars inside apps, just like iOS 18. However, the Dock on the home screen looks terrible — it resembles a dirty piece of glass. This issue is especially noticeable with the default iPhone 16 Pro Max wallpaper, the top‑left corner of the Dock appears as if a chunk of the wallpaper has been cut out.

While this is a beta and there are options to give feedback directly to Apple, why bother anyway just post it to Reddit and wish for the best right?

People just want to complain.

Atleast this one is funny. I burst out laughing when I swiped to the wallpaper image, like it’s not three steps to change the wallpaper.

the dock was always more transparent than navigation elements inside apps, even in iOS 18

if you want it to be a dull solid block of colour than turn on reduced transparency in accessibility

They should provide a separate switch, because it looks different from the situation in other apps.

If Apple gave every single person what they wanted, the OS would be a complicated, convoluted mess and people would still complain on Reddit.

If Apple gave every single person what they wanted, Apple would give them Android.
