Apple's Ushers In New Glassy Design With iOS 26 and ‘Liquid Glass' Interface
Jony Ive's long era of flat design is dead. At WWDC 2025 today, Apple ushered in 'Liquid Glass,' a new interface for iOS 26 (all of Apple's software platforms are jumping straight to '26') modeled after the glassy, reflective, and translucent software design it first introduced for Vision Pro's visionOS two years ago. The new Liquid Glass visual refresh is Apple's first major interface overhaul for the iPhone in 12 years. In 2013, former design chief Ive rebooted the iPhone's operating system with iOS 7 (aka The Great Flattening)—a shift away from the skeuomorphic interface that Steve Jobs and former Apple software chief Scott Forstall had championed in favor of rounder and texture-free iconography, thinner fonts, and brighter colors and more negative space. iOS 7 was so jarring for so many iPhone users that Apple slowly undid the extreme redesign in subsequent iOS updates to make it more usable, though the general aesthetic of flat software remained flat. Liquid Glass brings back depth with a modern twist. Instead of skeuomorphism—digital design that imitates real-world objects and textures—iOS 26 uses light reflections and shadows to make buttons and menu bars appear layered on top of content. Though Apple improved usability with thicker fonts and subtle gradients, it could still be difficult to identify what was a tappable element versus what is content. iOS 26 seems to merge the best of flat design (uncluttered minimalism) with just a smidge of skeuomorphism (glass and the way it reacts to lighting at different angles). Beyond the fresh coat of paint, iOS 26 is mostly the same familiar iPhone software over 1 billion users use to connect with each other. That is to say, there won't be a steep learning curve. Most of Apple's own apps work largely as before. Some apps have been tweaked to be easier to use. For example, the camera app now has a more unified experience for shooting and the Photos app. This story is developing…

At WWDC, Apple introduces iOS 26 and macOS 26 in major operating system rebrand
Apple announced a big change to how it names its operating systems at WWDC 2025 on Monday. Instead of using system names like iOS 19 and macOS 19, the company will now use the year as part of the name. This means all its operating systems will be called iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26. This new naming system aims to make things clearer and more consistent across all platforms. This change will not only simplify the naming process but also align with what rivals Samsung and Microsoft already do, making it easier for people to understand and identify the latest updates. These name changes are part of several announcements made at WWDC, including a complete design overhaul that features a look the company calls 'Liquid Glass,' featuring a transparent interface. This has been the most notable change so far, marking the most significant redesign since iOS 7.
