This is official, Apple’s large software redigation is here, and all your devices are very different. In WWDC 2025, Apple unveiled “Liquid Glass”, which is its own apple way to say, “Your iPhone is getting very bubbly.” The big visual overhaul changes the form of UI inside the Apple device through your iPhone, MacBook, Apple Watch and even your Apple Tv 4K streaming box.
And while the full sargam of Apple products is affected by the visual Vibe shift, it is iOS that will probably attract the most attention – and for good reasons. For one, many more Very People use iPhones in the US, and even a minor twitter for UI can affect people on a large scale. Secondly, the iOS is most affected by the new design with which I can tell for myself without reading the redesign. I mean, seriously, see it:
Today, we are now announcing our most beautiful software design changes with liquid glass. And for the first time, this iOS 26, iPados 26, Macos 26, Watches 26, and TVOS 26 are coming at once! pic.twitter.com/p8pr8o1mm

While Apple does not explain it clearly, again the design feels what some designers can say “are very impressed by this.Glasmorphism,“Which is a visible style in the UI that covers a lot of opaque menu and, unlike Apple’s current flat” Neemorphic “design, adds a little shape to those icons that were earlier 2D. The irony (irony) other operating system, * from *, *, *, *Cough, cough* microsoftIf you want another example, what can appear glassmorphism. I can probably exclude new form with a few thousand words, but I am not a design. When I look at liquid glass, I see things in simple light. I mostly see one thing: Risk.
On one hand, that risk is exciting. I think Apple’s UI is due to update. From Apple’s estimates, the final view overhala was back in iOS 7, when there was still a physical home button in iPhones and “Obamacare” was still a matter of political discussion. Not only this, but Apple, for a good reason, in recent years a lot of allegations have been alleged not to try to carry forward the boundaries under the leadership of Steve Jobs and Johnny Eve. There is a good way to show people you are not afraid to try to do something new, well, try to do something new. This is why Apple did; It took a risk on a redesign that replaces some beautiful original elements of your iphone’s UI – ICONS, Menu, you name it.
But like any bold new effort, some tradeoffs are going to happen. One of those tradeoffs, in this case, can have accessibility. As many of you have already noted, some scenes for Apple’s Glasmorphic era are quirks, and smoothness can be at stake.

As much as I really like the aesthetics of Apple’s new liquid glass overhaul, I think something big is going to be hate, and I can’t blame them at all. Having obvious windows can lead to future, but when that design is faced, I do not know, lessons on a page, things may be a bit messed up. What do you get, sometimes, a blind maded menu that struggles with other elements on one page. I am not jumping on any conclusion yet because I have not really seen the redesign for myself or how it interacts with web pages or apps, but impartially, it seems that Apple does not have the same opposite as the previous look of Apple. One thing I have definitely seen so far is that the subtle difference where a menu land in an app or web page can make a huge impact. For example, look at this picture.
Apple only introduced the “liquid glass” design in iOS.
It is beautiful, future … and completely unmatched.

I do not know about you, but what I am seeing is a blurred, visual disaster. But, if you check the video then it is drawn from the screenshot, just makes all the differences. Here is the same view performance, but the menu is a little offset on the lesson below.
I think there is a huge difference in legibility here. This is not correct in any way, and I will definitely not call it accessible, but it looks much better. All this is to say that I think there will be subtle differences that will determine if you are looking at something clear, pleasing and visually different or if you are looking at a glass glacsorphic mess. There will also be separate liquid glass styles to choose from what I can tell, which can affect the menu access. It is also the fact that this redesign does not officially launch until the decline, so anything can change.
How you feel about liquid glass is clearly for debate, but one thing is clear (punishment intention), and that whatever apple iOS is doing with redesign and liquid glass writ, is definitely a big risk compared to the previous overhaul. The bigger iOS takes some real vision to risk access to a platform – whether good or bad. Let’s just hope that the vision for all out of there with an iPhone is not quite blurred or illegal because some of these may suggest early looks.
