gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-09-28 09:32:48

My colleagues didn’t believe me when I told them all my app icons looked slightly crooked after updating my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 and getting Apple’s new Liquid Glass user interface. I told our staff reporter Kyle Barr—an all-round consumer tech guru, mind you—to look at my home screen and tell me that my icons were tilting slightly to the left, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. “I don’t see it,” he said, trying to convince me there was no slanting.
