Whatever you think, just don’t call it that.
Don’t worry, this isn’t an ad for medicine. Regardless of what you think of Apple’s new Liquid Glass design, the company doesn’t want you, or its own video, calling it Liquid Ass. Apple has changed its YouTube thumbnail for its Liquid Glass video, because the play button was in a really unfortunate position.
