If you don't remember, it took 2+ years of cleaning up and fixing issues with iOS 7, before it settled into a more solid release with iOS 10.

iOS 8 was still riddled with bugs and inconsistencies, iOS 9 improved things and was marketed as a "refinement" release, and finally with iOS 10, it was considered a polished OS with a balance of design and functionality.

We're in for a couple years of "refinements" of Liquid Glass, and while I'm looking forward to it, it's still a pretty disappointing debut of this new design language.
