SMRTR summary
Apple's new "Liquid Glass" aesthetic in iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 evokes Windows Vista's "Aero" design, featuring transparencies and glass-like effects. Apple's version is more refined, with app icons resembling jewels and transparent elements throughout. While some users find it excessive, accessibility settings allow customization. Apple may adjust the design based on beta feedback before the fall release.
