iOS 27 gives you a slider for Liquid Glass. That small control raises a much bigger question: who gets to decide what a good interface should look like?
For years, Apple's design rules helped make interfaces clearer, more consistent, and easier to use. They also made more products speak the same visual language. Now Apple and Google are bringing back color, movement, and personality — while AI makes polished, generic design easier to produce than ever.
This video explores what changed between iOS 7 and iOS 27, why Liquid Glass turns a design disagreement into a user setting, and how minimalism, Material 3 Expressive, AI, and our growing distrust of digital platforms fit into the picture. A more expressive interface can change how a product feels. But can it change what that product does to us?
This video includes a paid partnership with Luminar, a professional photo editor for Mac and Windows with a mobile app. In the sponsored segment, I edit a winter photo from the Tien Shan, balancing detail, light, color, and depth, and continue editing on my phone.
