I think a lot of people just like to complain. I've been using it for the last couple days and it's nice. On iPhone 12 Pro Max, no major issues. Yes there are some bugs, and some areas where it needs work, but that's expected. Overall it's a fresh change and it's nice to use. It's still only beta so calm the f*** down, things will change with feedback before final release. 

There are some screenshots especially of the Control Center where it looks too busy/messy etc but that's only specific situations. In use it's not bad.  iOS 18 and previous was similar with transparency but the difference was the amount of blur of the background under the controls in control centre. If this is a widespread complaint during the beta phase I'm sure they will blur it more in the final release. They may have just had less blur this time to show off the glass refraction more and may intend to tone it down later. 

My only (mild) concern is that going back to a skeuomorphism like interface may get old faster. 
I still don't like tinted icons, they work nicer now but still a bit ugly.. but that's just personal opinion. 

The products are great but damn the video production quality is off the charts. 

Love it...But why didn't they make it Space Grey like the iMac Pro?????? Argh. 

(To clarify, I'm not unhappy... they finally outdid themselves on the Mac Pro.... Space Grey would have just been a nice touch)
