It is such a perplexing choice they have made with the amount of transperency. Their design MO has always been to be clear and concise and this direction is the complete opposite of opposite of that. I can only hope it is toned down and/or we are given options to change the transparency considerably.

So, AI's writers seem to be having trouble distinguishing what is Liquid Glass and what is not. Liquid Glass is specifically a full cosmetic makeover, including some changes in the way UI elements behave and react, that is being applied simultaneously to all of Apple's OSs. The Spotlight changes — e.g., a clipboard manager — you reference above, apart from the appearance and behavioral changes in the controls themselves, are not part of Liquid Glass.

Likewise, not every enhancement to every OS is necessarily related to Liquid Glass. Yes, these new features do appear with Liquid Glass UI elements, but that doesn't mean they depend on Liquid Glass to exist. Apple could have added a clipboard manager even if they had not included Liquid Glass in this release. So, basically, if you are looking at enhancements that are, "more than skin deep," they are probably not part of Liquid Glass, even if you have never seen them using any other "skin".

As a parent, I can definitely say that this is a bad idea. Apple already lets me mark accounts as a child account. As such, when one of my kids asks to be allowed to download an app, it has to get permission from me or my wife. This is already a simple enough solution to this problem,...

Not exactly true. In reality, setting up Screen Time and App Store preferences for children of different age groups is quite complicated. The system works slowly (e.g., approvals via iMessage), and it’s not cross-platform. So having age-based limits at the App Store level does make sense.

An Apple ID already contains enough private information, so no additional data needs to be shared. Privacy isn’t a concern in this case because if a child’s account is connected to a parent’s, no personal information is required, but if it isn't — then parents have no control. That’s exactly the loophole that App Store-level age management is meant to address.

They will not have an effect because the CEO's are breaking their necks to rush to the White House to kiss the ring and get exemptions for their particular company - soooo, I don't seen an increase in the price (because of tariffs).
