That’s fair. I work in a completely different industry, so I thought the intro was a bit funny without having much context. I think the liquid display sucks but I don’t get angry
I think she has a valid point, thats the complete post
Every time I look at my iPhone’s clock with the new Liquid Glass effect, I get angry.
I can barely read the numbers. They don’t meet basic contrast requirements, even though I have Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast settings turned on.
What makes this worse is that I already know what time it is.
It is time for organizations to take accessibility seriously. Not selectively. Not aspirationally. Consistently and by default.
This feels personal because it is imposed. Someone decided that transparent, superimposed numbers were a good idea, and that decision was forced onto millions of people. It was not one designer. It was a team. Reviews happened. Someone signed off.
Hey Apple. You ship every device with a built-in screen reader. You have invested in accessibility features for years. Because of that, many people assume you set the bar for accessibility.
That is why this is so disappointing.
When core system UI ignores contrast and legibility even after accessibility settings are enabled, it undermines that trust. Accessibility cannot be something you market well but apply inconsistently.
When people’s needs are not considered, it is rarely an individual failure. It is a signal that the organization is not set up to value accessibility in practice.
But from the outside, it looks like arrogance.
Accessibility is not about taste or visual novelty. It is about respecting the people who have to live with the decisions we make.

What was in the rest of the post? I could half imagine that if she really does work in accessibility she could have a genuine point.
Yeah this one is not a lunatic. She’s fostering a good discussion about the subject she claims she’s knowledgeable about.
If you don’t care about that topic, that is a different thing.

Made a good hook since it caught my attention!

accessibility #apple #ios
Guessing that it unnecessarily lowers contrast on a critical piece of information making life harder for people with limited sight?
What happens when she discovers you can turn it off I wonder
I don't think this is up to the level of lunacy.
I actually love the liquid glass
i think it looks cool, but my phone is noticeable stuttering ever since the update and that sucks
