Apple's new 'liquid glass' design is its biggest visual update in years
SMRTR summary
Sleek, translucent buttons float above your iPhone screen, part of Apple's bold new "Liquid Glass" design language unveiled at WWDC. This visual overhaul, inspired by the Vision Pro headset, brings a unified look to iOS, macOS, and iPadOS.
The redesign emphasizes adaptability, with elements that respond to light and dark modes, and navigation controls that shrink to keep content front and center. iOS 26 features revamped app icons and a dynamically scaling home screen, while macOS Tahoe introduces customizable desktops with transparent menu bars.
Even CarPlay gets a makeover, with a new home screen and widgets for Live Activities. The update also brings practical improvements, like Call Screening in the Phone app and a simplified Camera interface.
This fluid, cohesive design aims to make Apple's ecosystem more intuitive and immersive, rolling out with the next OS versions later this year.
