i love liquid glass in general, but am shocked they shipped (and continue to not fix) the glaring visibility/usability problems - text over text, indiscriminate borders between windows, etc.
A few days with this beta and I honestly think it has been better than any iOS 26 release for me. I’ve definitely had a couple minor bugs, and a couple nights ago it randomly struggled for a few minutes before settling down, but otherwise it has been fast and stable. Obviously, install at your own risk! (And there’s no guarantee the next beta release won’t break things.) Still on the waitlist for the new Siri. edit: I think it's because my phone started indexing 24 hours after I installed the beta and it's still ongoing, but my phone has started slowing down quite a bit recently. It'll be fine, very fast and working perfectly, and then suddenly it starts getting warm and unusably laggy.
Oh yeah liquid glass is getting much better suddenly, starting to get most of my apps updated and it’s an improvement on all of them
This beta is great. It feels like what 26 should've felt like - fast, zippy, clean. New Siri is genuinely useful too. No complaints at all so far.
Yeah, it's stupid stable, battery life is where it was with 26.5.1. I have some mDNSResponder crashes on my Mac when it's asleep but if I close the lid it's fine
