Apple’s new design across all of its operating systems, dubbed “Liquid Glass,” is drawing sharp criticism from some corners online. A user on X, @Greggertruck, shared a screenshot of the new Control Center and wrote, “Steve Jobs would have fired everyone.” The post quickly gained traction, with investor Ross Gerber responding with a Hundred Points emoji.
As for WWDC 2025, yes, it was a yawner. Tim Cook’s lack of stage presence and boring-to-cringeworthy live stage presentations have the company continuing — sadly, desperately and tellingly — to rely on overproduced, canned video keynote addresses in which Cook is clearly kept to a bare minimum. Steve Jobs could make a power cord seem insanely great. Tim Cook could put a room to sleep while unveiling teleportation; he makes watching paint dry seem like must-see event. Apple is currently helmed by a charisma black hole. Lacking a charismatic leader who could sell ice cubes to eskimos, execution is the key… With excellent products and execution, the weak keynote presentations would be bearable. Apple’s issues with late, old, sometimes problematic products and services do more to dampen excitement and devotion than anything. – MacDailyNews, January 4, 2019 Apple is boring because it is headed by a boring operations manager who should have been a 3-5 year stopgap following the untimely death of visionary Steve Jobs and its next visionary, product-focused CEO. Alas, operations manager Cook clings on well past his sell-by date. The good news is that time continues to tick on and Apple easily has enough in the tank to make it through this period of incremental iteration. This too shall pass. Of course, the biggest announcement of WWDC25 wasn’t Liquid Glass, but that Apple’s on-device foundation models will be available to third-party applications as part of the Foundation Models API, a major tool enabling developers to seamlessly integrate the Apple Intelligence LLMs directly on-device.
