    Digital Passport functionality is also coming, not a full passport replacement, but sufficient ID for travel in US without needing Real ID or your physical passport.

    So they design a more powerful chip and then waste the power with useless UI effects nobody needs and few want.
    Nobody? Few? Oh good god, is that the best you can do?

    Boring and old UI from 15 years ago. 
    Boring and old griping from 15 years ago. You guys need a new hobby 
    Trolling is one of man's least original acts since all it requires is a 2-year old's "No!" attitude for everything in life. It's easy to negate, it's much more difficult to be original.

    Disappointed not to see a Games App for TvOS. By far my favourite place to play most games.
    Agreed it's a good fit, but not there today doesn't mean it won't be coming, Apple is well known for iterative system roll outs.

    Another underwhelming version of TVoS.
    Still waiting for your devices to toast bread? FFS.

    So it is Aqua, without any color, from 2000.

    With iOS 7, the heavy transparency was awful because everything blended over itself and over the next few iOS updates, the transparency was significantly reduced so you could actually see what you were doing without elements from behind bleeding into everything else.  I imagine the same will occur again.  The screenshot above showing the Home Screen looks just like iOS 18, with a few minor tweaks to the icons.  Not that much of a change.  Not exactly a 'radical' design change as all the websites claimed.
    So many negative comments being posted about Liquid Glass based on pictures and video demos. Once you start to use Liquid Glass, you'll see it's way beyond Aqua (and Vista). Interface elements have physical attributes that extend way beyond just a visual appearance.
    All the kids are saying it's so cool to be negative, totally unoriginal simply to reject or negate something, but hey, it's what all the kool kids are doing.
