You cannot downgrade back to an earlier version of iOS. You cannot disable or turn off Liquid Glass. There are two things you can do.


  1. Settings->Accessibility->Display & Size->Reduce Transparency->ON which will moderate the effect.
  2. Submit feedback to Apple expressing your opinion.

If you hate Apple and Steve Jobs then consider switching platforms. Why stay with a platform you despise.
