I hope they didn’t tone down the liquid glass design furthermore
I really like it

Same with me! I think it looks perfect

On iPadOS, Safari tab titles are smaller.

Noticeably snappier on my 16PM

If anything they should just remove all backgrounds - beautiful transparency

Hopefully this fixes a lot of issues for me. Had freezes whenever I was typing, airpods wouldn't connect and battery life was awful

New wallpaper options for iOS and iPadOS

They should make the entire UI completely transparent. If you can't see it, it's your problem!

They've toned down liquid glass a decent bit - Music app most noticeable

 

[iToph]

A 'g' release 🙀

So are we the g unit now? 🤣

They definitely tuned the glassyness down.

If you don’t scroll rather flat and “normal”

as soon as you scroll, the glass effect kicks in

Not sure if I like it …

Bummer, still noticeably laggy on a 16PM even when scrolling between pages on Home.

You‘re in for bad news… saw screenshots on Discord, it‘s nerfed to essentially iOS 18 frosted glass tier.

Which is a good thing, accessibility should come first, not fancy looks.

Seems that liquid glass is becoming frosted glass

Any kind of performance test right after installing beta updates makes no sense. Wait a day and restart your device at least once after a few hours.

A marked improvement. Looks like Apple finally woke up. Praise be.

This one is much more fluent, almost like 18.5

I would fully expect that immediately after an OS update. Need to give it some time (day or two) before making any performance judgements.

I have no hidden apps, but now I have this…

In addition, the Preview app got moved into my Recently Added folder (it wasn’t there before Beta 3) and my Uber app is gray…

I’ll do a restart in a few hours.

A hint to the coming iPhone 17 colors?

Supper slow on my 16PM. Let’s see in a few hours.

The UI has been tweaked a bit, as others have already mentioned. Curious about the macOS.
