Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is poised to unveil a groundbreaking software design, dubbed “Liquid Glass,” at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, in his latest weekly “Power On" report revealed that, the innovative interface, which will be incorporated into the forthcoming iOS 26, is a significant departure from the existing “flat design”.
It will feature a glossy, translucent aesthetic, akin to a glass surface, and will be consistent across all of Apple’s operating systems, including iPadOS 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26, and CarPlay.
Alan Dye, Apple’s vice president of human interface, is slated to discuss the transition at the conference. The “Liquid Glass” interface is also expected to lay the groundwork for new hardware products, including a 20th-anniversary iPhone, internally known as the “Glasswing”, which is set to launch in 2027.
