gahhhhhhh leee man..... I really dislike reddit ALOT sometimes man. Now I can't unsee it either. I just lost sleep. Fml. I unfortunately took this update just a few ago
Dark mode is very cheap looking with that outline that doesn't look like glass, it doesn't have that soft three dimensional look like other UI elements or light mode icons. I'm very disappointed by it!
It doesn't go away. You still have that ugly white outline around icons, and apparently many app icons are being updated with new ugly, blurry images. Horrible.
The app icons look fine but the outlines are ruining everything imo

I’ve hated the outlines since day one of the beta. It kinda cheapens the look. But I honestly prefer the dark icons the best….the light icons look fuzzy to me because the light glass element edges in the icons make it look “soft” (I think).
Yes, exactly. Plus it is annoying that folders and deck bar are not in dark mode/ black tinted. It looks strange when everything is set to black and then you have light folders 😑
Maybe an unpopular take but this liquid glass update makes ios look like a cheap android launcher from 2012, not my cuppa tea although I will say some aspects look nice with liquid glass overall it doesn't do it for me
I hadn’t noticed it at the first glance, but now I can’t unsee thetilted app icons .
Ha ha. It’s really weird. It’s like they’re falling over. They look crooked.
clock is the worst. like its moving as you look at it

Agreed, fordark mode I kinda wish they just stayed with the flat matte.
Yeah as a dark mode user I changed my icons to default just for iOS 26.
Same here. I can't use dark mode anymore... the outlines ruin the aesthetic.
Did someone at Apple really look at this design and say "WOW OUR USERS ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS!!!!"
I used iOS 26 beta and this was the very first thing I noticed. It’s terrible.
Turn off theparallax effect of apps and it goes away.
How do you do this ?:0
By sacrificing the animations of everything else and turning reduce motion on.
Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Turn on Reduce motion (at the very top)

this update is making me feel drunk. apple has totally cheeped out as of recently.

Yes this! Why are folders and some widgets still inlight mode ?

I love the idea but now that it’s in my hand I agree. The execution feels unrefined.
It’s not that they look tilted. They are tilted based on orientation. Move your phone around and you’ll see.
This is only for new models. The glow effect is static on iPhone 13.
AHHhhh so that's why I can't see it move!
Do you have Low Power Mode enabled? It doesn't move with it enabled
You can have dark mode on but not dark icons.
Totally agree. I absolutely hate these outlines, especially in dark mode. They do look tilted!
All of iOS 26 is an optical nightmare. It's horrible.
iOS 26 is the worst visually
It’s the same for. What has Apple done? Where are they hiring UI/UX people from now? 🙄
Liquid Glass the worst thing to come out of this years releases. A true regression in UI design.
It looks so cheap. 18.7 is looking great
The more of 26 I see I agree
Can we swicth between glass and black? 😨
Jailbreak themes are so much better why won’t they just allow it on vanilla iOS
No the new design just sucks
