Apple fixes disorienting Liquid Glass illusion in iOS 27 update after user complaints
—Apple has patched the iOS 27 "Liquid Glass" interface element following widespread reports that a specific optical illusion it created was jarring and confusing for users. The effect — caused by the way translucent, reflective glass layers interacted with background motion — was likened by some to a perceptual trick that felt genuinely disorienting. The fix arrives within weeks of the design's debut, an unusually fast turnaround that suggests the complaints reached critical mass internally.
