Aesthetics may be subjective (liquid glass looks bad to me but I don't like flat design either) but what objective is that new design leaves much less space than old one. Here is HN site on IOS 18 and IOS 26 (both iPhone SE): https://www.citrin.ru/tmp/403/safari-ios18-26-side-by-side.p...

Also in IOS 26 fonts are bigger for some reason (Large Text is Off on both), it can be reduced (using Large Text slider) but interval between lines and UI block is still bigger than in 18.

Settings waste even more space because of less dense design, and the same spacing problem is in most (all) applications.
