As negative as it may be, I refuse to update iOS until liquid glass is dead. Apple always gives us something we didn't ask for and don't want, and sometimes takes away things we do like and want.
I avoided the entire butterfly keyboard/touch bar Macbooks by buying an older model (2015 MacBook pro, the last one with scissor switch until 2020) and not upgrading until M series. That turned out to be a good decision.
That's what I did as well, I waited until the touch bar and the butterfly keyboard were out of the flow and got a really fantastic MacBook Pro with touch ID. Dare I say it works better than my iphone.
It's not going away, but I remain hopeful it will be refined. macOS is the real casualty this upgrade cycle—iOS has problems but isn't fundamentally broken.
that's the right move. after i upgraded, i showed my wife and she simply hasn't moved yet either. if i had only known.
