Apple has introduced a new design language called “Liquid Glass,” across its operating systems, starting with iOS 26. It was unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 on Monday, June 9, 2025.
According to Apple,
“This translucent material reflects and refracts its surroundings, while dynamically transforming to help bring greater focus to content, delivering a new level of vitality across controls, navigation, app icons, widgets, and more.”
The new Liquid Glass design, which takes its inspiration from visionOS, will also feature in iOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26.
The updated design features dynamic rendering in real time and responds to motion by displaying reflective highlights. This will offer users a livelier experience across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.
Let’s take a closer look at the iPhones launching with iOS 26.

According to Apple, the new Liquid Glass design won’t be available to customers until fall. But those who enrolled in Apple’s beta program can try the version next month.
According to a press release by the company, Alan Dye, the company’s Vice President of Human Interface Design, said:
“At Apple, we’ve always believed in the deep integration of hardware and software that makes interacting with technology intuitive, beautiful, and delightful.”
He added:
“This is our broadest software design update ever. Meticulously crafted by rethinking the fundamental elements that make up our software, the new design features an entirely new material called Liquid Glass.”
He concluded by saying,
“It combines the optical qualities of glass with a fluidity only Apple can achieve, as it transforms depending on your content or context. It lays the foundation for new experiences in the future and, ultimately, it makes even the simplest of interactions more fun and magical.”
The new Liquid Glass design mimics the behavior of actual glass. The app icons have been redesigned with multiple layers of Liquid Glass. There is a new, clear look that blends well with both light and dark modes.
According to reports from Apple’s WWDC 2025 event, there is a new feature called Live Translation, which will automatically translate text messages and captions in FaceTime calls in foreign languages, with the help of artificial intelligence. The company showcased many more features at the WWDC 2025 event, including the camera app, Photos, Safari, Lock Screen, and more.
