While the new transparency slider lets users dial the effect from strong glass to fully opaque, 9to5Mac\u2019s Ben Lovejoy found that Apple also refined the blurring and rendering under the hood. Even with Liquid Glass maxed out, text and interface elements remain perfectly readable in challenging scenarios (like overlapping black text), effectively resolving the biggest pain points of the original implementation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/12\/ios-27-fixes-liquid-glass-and-not-just-with-a-slider\/\">Ben Lovejoy for 9to5Mac<\/a>:<br \/>  \u200e<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p> Liquid Glass was the most contentious UI change Apple has introduced in many years. While many of us really liked it, there was a sizable chunk of the Apple user base who absolutely hated it.<\/p>\n<p>To be \u2026 clear, the first implementation was very bad\u2026 The company initially responded with a toggle, while iOS 27 offers a more flexible solution in the form of a slider. At one end, the glass effect is very strong, and at the other, the glass is frosted to such a degree that it is essentially completely opaque. This is indistinguishable from switching off the effect completely.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to experiment with it, starting with the effect maxed out. I was expecting to later adjust it, but instead found that Apple has made a number of changes to the Liquid Glass implementation which means that everything remains perfectly legible even with maximum transparency. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u200e<br \/> Apple\u2019s Liquid Glass fixes in iOS 27 add up to a solid win for fans of the design \u2014 and potentially a sign that Apple could push the effect even further in future updates.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u200e <\/p>\n<p><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"macdailynews-2169462887\" class=\"macdailynews-after-content macdailynews-entity-placement macdailynews-target macdailynews-target\" data-macdailynews-trackid=\"221186\" data-macdailynews-trackbid=\"1\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9654279268749293\" data-ad-slot=\"3250525581\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-4\">\n<div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">      <a href=\"void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger\" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"302663\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"ip\" data-already-liked=\"0\">                          <i class=\"far fa-smile\"><\/i>                      <\/a>      <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"pld-dislike-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">      <a href=\"void(0)\" class=\"pld-dislike-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger\" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"302663\" data-trigger-type=\"dislike\" data-restriction=\"ip\" data-already-liked=\"0\">                          <i class=\"far fa-frown\"><\/i>                      <\/a>      <span class=\"pld-dislike-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\"><\/span>  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source link: https:\/\/macdailynews.com\/2026\/06\/12\/apples-liquid-glass-fixes-in-ios-27-go-beyond-a-simple-slider\/<\/p>\n <!-- Easy AdSense Pro: WP is not in the loop.  -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple\u2019s controversial \u201cLiquid Glass\u201d translucent UI effect, which drew heavy criticism for poor legibility in its initial release, has seen major improvements in the iOS 27 developer beta.
