It looks cool, but I'm worried about readability on the phone. The text in some of those menu bars and notifications really blended in with the wallpaper in a few of those screenshots.

I noticed the same thing while watching their youtube promo video. I grabbed this screenshot that shows exactly how problematic this design is.

Yes.

IMO it should "opaque up" the glass stuff when the blur detects significant similarity between the text / icon content on top, vs the blurred background on bottom.

"COOL" is not "success".

There are definitely compression artifacts in there that are making it look significantly less crisp than it would in reality.

And zero smudges, environmental reflections, and glare than in reality while still being impossible to read.

It will be even harder to see in anything but a dark room than these perfect press videos show.

In this screenshot you can hardly read the app names because the color of the text is white and the background is also very white:

I am surprised they forgot the important detail of good contract to be able to read the name of apps.

Is this even a change from the new design? You've been able to have white text on a light background as long as the iPhone has had wallpapers.

It looks like the default background.

yes, legibility—at least during the presentation—was really bad. hope it’s better on device.

Yeah, struggling with reading things

Can’t wait to be told, “You’re viewing it wrong.” /s

But yes, terrible visual usability. Otherwise it looks nice, better than flat.

This is actually one of the funniest things I've seen

For background, this video is a good overview of the Riemann Hypothesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6c6uIyieoo

Well this is fairly unsettling...

How's this, then?

Note that it knows about the relevance of the "AI containment theory" in this context - enough so to want to find out more about it.

Or if someone accidentally walked through it? I can't imagine it would end well...

Are there any recordings of the same piece played with a Stradivarius compared to a "regular" instrument? I have always wondered what makes their sound unique.

There have been some studies comparing Strads with modern vilins: https://www.livescience.com/44651-new-violins-beat-stradivar..., not sure if there are any publicly available recordings.

Rarity, ego and cost. Most blind tests have pros perferring cheaper modern insturments.
