Episode notes
Critique of iOS 26 Camera UI
- The iOS 26 camera mode selector is counterintuitive and narrow, limiting usability.
- Apple seems to use a loop-based control that feels more like a text selector, which is confusing.
Design Fragmentation at Apple
- Apple's app teams lack cohesiveness in design implementation as seen in "Liquid Glass."
- This causes inconsistent UI behavior across apps, undermining user experience.

- Relying on gestures for essential actions in Mail and Safari reduces reliability.
- Buttons should be preferred as they provide more discoverable and accessible controls.
