Can’t believe they still don’t fixed the readability of notifications when the slider is on the max tinted setting. It’s a pure regression VS iOS 26 notifications with the tinted toggle on.

I noticed the further you push the slider right, the less distortion and text stretching you get in the glass. These examples are both “more tinted”, just slightly different levels.

I wonder what the battery impact of fully clear would be compared to fully tinted?
 
Do you have any complaints over fully tinted?

That”s the setting I wanted to use at first, but I hated the way a few apps looked so much that i had to change it. Phone and Weather were especially bad to my eyes. Ended up more tinted, but a bit closer to the center in the end.
I don’t have any complaints. iOS 27 glass looks especially good!
 
What I miss in 27 is when the tinted option let you get rid of the shadow behind the notifications on the lock screen. The darkened lock screen does not look good with my wallpaper so I haven't been using tinted.
