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.

Apple Inc. unveiled a new operating system interface called Liquid Glass at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, an event that focused heavily on aesthetics and design elements rather than software breakthroughs.

All of Apple's operating systems have received a redesigned user interface called "Liquid Glass," featuring translucent elements with rounded corners, and an all-around new look.
