YOU CAN HATE IOS 26 AND LIQUID GLASS BUT THE STEVE JOBS NOSTALGIA NEEDS TO STOP

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

While iOS 26's new Liquid Glass UI has divided opinion and sparked nostalgia-fueled claims that Steve Jobs would have hated it, the truth is likely the opposite—Jobs, a fan of skeuomorphism, unification, and control, would probably have embraced its tactile realism and cohesive integration of AI. Rather than resisting Apple's current direction, Jobs would have doubled down on simplifying the ecosystem and leveraging design to shape user experience, just as Liquid Glass aims to do.
