Apple’s 2025 iOS 26.1 developer beta landed on a Monday with an ingenious feature: a glorified glass tint toggle called 'Liquid Glass,' letting users pick between 'Clear' or 'Tinted' window decorations to fix legibility issues discovered since WWDC. This sophisticated murkiness rollercoaster is now extant on iPadOS 26.1 and macOS 26.1 too, because who wouldn’t want frosted or transparent UI? Meanwhile, Apple sneakily added a 'Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera' toggle to stop snoopers from snagging pics without unlocking—finally a setting for the paranoid! All this glamour comes amid Apple’s endless Apple TV rebranding saga, proving your software is never too polished to get a smidge murkier.
