Did Apple fire Jon Yongfook, designer behind Liquid Glass UI? Here's the truth behind viral claim
Claims about Apple firing a Jon Yongfook, allegedly the lead designer of the Liquid Glass UI unveiled at WWDC 2025, surfaced on social media on Monday. Yongfook, an influencer on social media, posted about being fired. However, now several social media users are saying that Yongfook never worked with Apple. 'I was fired by Apple today.
