Liquid Glass HDR ⇥ social.panic.com
let me explain. the apple intelligence rainbow ring was their first (?) use of HDR UI; it drew brighter than your screen, and the vibrance was beautiful and subtle. but…
…in iOS 26 they seem to have applied HDR blasts to button taps, text field selects. etc. what was a specific treat is now, to my sensitive eyes, a bit much. is it just me?!
iOS 26.1 appears to tone down these effects overall, and the new Tinted appearance toggle makes them even less prominent. Thankfully.
