In this week's Quick Coffee, Felix and Patrick dive into Apple's controversial new "liquid glass" design system that has everyone talking. They discuss why the real innovation isn't the glass effects everyone's complaining about, but the shift toward interfaces that actually adapt to how you use them. The conversation covers Apple's bigger vision for the future, why Siri still feels broken, and how we're moving toward a world where your Spotify looks completely different from everyone else's based on your listening habits. They also explore why Apple might be setting the foundation for truly AI-driven experiences, even if they're not quite there yet. Grab a coffee and listen in!
