I trust that Apple has really good design talent.
And I know that they could make defined bars look good and look modern.
It isn't – we don't have to like – It's been done many times before by Apple.
And you can keep – like so much of the liquid glass design language is –
is not necessarily at odds with that.
You could keep so much of how controls look, toolbars, buttons, the animation, the way they blob up and blob back together.
So many of those things are totally doable on a mostly solid bar with a border.
And even if the whole bar could be a capsule, who cares?
There's so many different ways you could do it.
And you could make the bar frosted.
Whatever you wanted to do, there are ways to design this to make it look fresh and modern.
It doesn't have to look old.
And the old way wasn't the only way to do it.
They can do it.
There's lots of options.
It just takes the will and maybe the humility to some degree to realize like, okay, this direction of liquid glass has too many problems in real life.
Let's rethink some of that.
And you don't need to throw away the whole language to do it.
So anyway, that's what I would hope to see is those two big pillars, better AI APIs and liquid glass being more usable.
And I think I'll get probably both of those things, but probably neither one done to the level I want it to be done.
