I built Bayer Cam because I'm interested in using my phone camera as a photographic tool, that I can control & understand
I get that all this AI stuff that hallucinates the perfect picture of your dreams without any knowledge/effort required is exciting for many, but it's not inspiring at all to me
In French, we say "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"
iOS 27 delivers on the Apple Intelligence promises of 2024 and the Liquid Glass promises of 2025
iOS might be on a 1-year marketing cycle, but empirically it takes 3 years to deliver a polished OS
Perhaps the biggest visual change is that key lighting now comes straight from the top, rather than top left; and the material gets a darkened edge
It feels like they've also improved performance, because my device doesn't get as hot running all those stacked effects 😄
Comparing Liquid Glass in 65×24 - iOS 26 vs iOS 27 developer beta 1
Subtle changes, but overall feels good. One big weakness of Liquid Glass in iOS 26 is that it tended to blend in too much on dark backgrounds; it now gets more intrinsic lighting
Tinted setting is also much more pronounced now
I just cannot get excited about this vision of human computer interaction where you speak to your device, awkwardly wait 10 seconds, get back a wall of text, repeat
1984: "What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds."
2026: "Hey computer will my shoes fit in my bag"
The main paradigm shifts in human computer interaction:
- the mouse
- multitouch
- staring at your device waiting on a spinner
Small thing, but this is finally fixed in iOS 27 beta 1 🥳
