The Liquid Glass Interface Controversy<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest changes in iOS 26 was the arrival of Liquid Glass design, but some users found the transparent interface was not to their taste. <\/p>\n<p>With iOS 27, Apple will introduce a slider which can adjust the level of transparency from completely see-through to nearly opaque. Assuming this works as well as in Apple\u2019s demos, this will overcome a major bugbear of iOS 26. <\/p>\n<p>And since every iOS 26-capable model will run iOS 27, no Liquid Glass users are left with the less capable version. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">Forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">Sony Launches Reon Pocket Pro Plus Wearable Air Conditioner In Time For Summer Heatwaves<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">By <span class=\"link-embed__author\">David Phelan<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/6a1062624e97e3e8564cc823\/960x0.png)\"\/><\/span><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/davidphelan\/2026\/06\/08\/good-news-for-iphone-11-users-apples-not-dropping-support-in-ios-27\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has just revealed that it\u2019s not dropping support for any iPhone that can run iOS 26 when iOS 27 arrives.
