This made me laugh the other day (Alan Dye, who appears to have been the chief person pushing the "liquid glass" change, has left Apple for Meta)

A screenshot of a tweet from "juan" @juanbuis that says "to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here's one of his best quotes". There is an embedded picture which is of a quote in white text inside a clear "lozenge" shape similar to what users of iOS 26 see in the new and controversial "liquid glass" mode. As a result, the text of the quote is only visible on the left of the text box where it overlays a multi-coloured rainbow. On the right, where it overlays white-coloured light, it's unreadable.
