First impressions of what I saw - The idea "We are touching glass" is genius in its simplicity. It was in front of our eyes the whole time. We literally touch the glass of the phone screen and look at the glare-covered glass of the laptop screen. I suppose the sensations of using devices will become sharper - Liquid Glass - virtual space gives the ability to touch something that is hard to imagine in reality. Glass that flows on the fly, transforms, and renders hyper-realistically - my respect - We saw a very early, raw version. In level of polish it does not reach Material 2, and especially not Material 3. It is noticeable that different teams are doing it - inconsistency in decisions. All this will be fixed over n years - Schematic interface design or credible? Figma in the moment becomes something very primitive: "well, this is roughly how the app will look and work" instead of a high fidelity prototyping tool. WebGL and shaders. Theoretically, Figma can make it possible to render something remotely similar to production. I think Play deserves a closer look. And Sketch will have native support for rendering glass. Just as from the very beginning they had native support for rendering blurs - I did not notice new patterns developing the experience of using smartphones. Maybe something will come in the fall, when the new iPhones are demonstrated. As it was with iPhone X and the app-closing gesture instead of the Home button - The decoration is beautiful. The skeleton is from 2005. In 2026 I want a canvas, a unified space on which all the content and interactive elements I need lie. I want my self-preview during a video call to be located directly under the front camera - 99% of people look at themselves during calls, not at the interlocutor. And it is noticeable! Simply moving the preview to the right place easily fixes this. I do not need files and colored folders. Everything has long been in clouds. Or inside closed ecosystems. Files are a crutch. I do not want some productivity constructor called Shortcuts; I cannot make anything in this visual programming. I want to say in words to the computer what I need and expect it to handle it. Like: "export all my notes into one multi-page PDF file, preserving formatting, embeds and links." Or at least I expect that I can simply ask the computer: "what was our BHT metric at the end of last year?" and the computer will know what I mean and answer quickly In 2026 I want an operating system that does not download apps, but itself consists on the fly of all the billion lines of code that exist in the apps in the store and performs the actions I need. Well, at least in 2027. And with liquid glass too. So it is beautiful
