iOS 26 Liquid Glass: UI notes, "Aqua" origins and philosophy

A few quirks I've observed in the Developer Beta 5 of iOS 26, and a throwback to the Mac OS X launch from 2000 where Steve Jobs famously said of the new Aqua interface, it's liquid - and that "one of the design goals was when you saw it, you wanted to lick it." I think the Liquid Glass UI is pretty great, a visual and technical accomplishment. See my prior Liquid Glass video here:    • iOS 26 Liquid Glass: The return of Skeuomo...   In select clips from the 2000 event, Steve Jobs talks about the Aqua UI, shares some philosophy on UX/UI and shows the brand-new Dock, to much applause from the live audience. I think Steve nailed it when he talked not only about how things look, but how they move. Motion and effects are arguably "the" feature in today's world, where most everyone is walking around with a powerful GPU in their pocket that makes this sort of stuff possible. 00:00 Steve Jobs' "lick it" quote 00:17 Scrolling / full-screen, Music UI 00:36 Light/dark transitions 00:51 Mail app buttons 01:18 Steve Jobs OS X Intro 01:50 Aqua (OS X) UI 02:16 Design philosophy 03:10 OS X Dock Intro Thanks to 512 pixels for the OS X screenshot. https://512pixels.net/2025/06/revisit...
