Opinion after 1 day of Liquid Glass and 1 day of “reduce transparency” enabled:
Liquid Glass is trash, but the other UI changes are quite good!
Enabling “reduce transparency” disables Liquid Glass in iOS 26 and macOS 26. It is a necessity for me because of my astigmatism.
The resulting flat aesthetic then reveals many thoughtful, incremental UI improvements.
It also reveals a bunch of cringe small margin and border issues, but still a net positive.

The border radius will increase until morale improves.
My dislike of the iOS 26 bouncy glass UX is stronger than I expected.
Why must everything be delayed by spring loaded, squishy animation?
Why must the legibility of UI text suffer for skeuomorphic aesthetic?
“Reduce motion” and “reduce transparency” are binary accessibility settings, but iOS 26 makes me want a 0.75 reduction option.
