1. Is it just me or is Safari’s new address bar way more distracting than before? They’ve clearly tried to make it more subtle, but that blurry, floating bubble now just blocks part of the page and keeps pulling my eyes away from the actual content. Same goes for the top. Everything’s blurred out and it feels like visual noise.

Yeah, the blur + fade at the top and bottom of safari are driving me up the wall. It effectively reduces the content window by a huge amount!

2. why is everything so rounded … especially in the settings. Wastes so much space. My phone screen suddenly feels smaller.

I'm also hating the additional padding everywhere. Maybe reduced information density is a scheme to sell more larger phones or something?

3. with so much glossy effects everywhere, you’d think the keyboard is also somewhat transparent? But nope. Seems inconsistent

Watching the developer intro to Liquid Glass, it seems like apps built using the new Xcode will get the new keyboard automatically. Just need to wait for apps to get on board. Not sure why Apple didn't just go for it, though, the change is so minor.

And yeah, the blue is a weird shade.

TL;DR: agree on all counts.

don’t like the shade of blue they used for the active state in control center. It’s too dark and found no where else on iOS. It screams Android to me for some reason.

Huh? It’s too light on my phone. Like someone used a neon blue highlighter.

Speaking of blue… the checkboxes are ridiculously large. And an entirely different shade of blue... very un-glassy(?)

How do you filter unknown senders out of the messages list? Mine appear in the main view marked “Unknown sender”.
 
I have it on my iPhone 11. As it’s not my main device I switch it off until I want to play with the beta again.

I have a 4x2 widget stack on my Home Screen, containing Weather and Reminders. Today I’ve encountered a bug - when I’ve turned the phone on, there’s another widget in the stack. iOS has added a battery widget to it. (I’ve never used the battery widget in my life.)

Edit: It’s no longer showing the battery widget within the stack. (It’s removed of its own accord - I hadn’t yet edited it to remove it.)

I wonder what‘s changed. If there are any UX changes or changes users can notice, or if it‘s just fixing behind the scenes bugs that can potentially cause bricks.

Wish Apple updated their change notes with rereleases to highlight new things.
 
Now this trash won’t even connect to my AirPods, ruining my workout. I’ve been waiting all week for this remaster to be released.

Edit: all of my problems were posted before seeing there’s an update to the beta. Installing now.

Hope it fixes the storage bug that makes 100gb+ suddenly fill phone causing boot loop.

In messages, top right hamburger menu. Bottom "manage filtering"

From here you can screen unknown, as well as some additional (cool) settings
 
The revised beta only being released for 15-16 lineup of iPhones seems to pretty much confirm that you can‘t expect any big changes (if you do, probably placebo). Maybe they fixed a few obscure game breaking bugs.
