Apple is giving its devices a fresh look this autumn, focusing on a revamped user interface across its iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Sneak peeks into the new design suggest a glossy, fluid aesthetic reminiscent of their Vision Pro VR headset, coined as "Liquid Glass."
What's New with Liquid Glass?
This design upgrade seeks to harmonize the visual language across Apple's devices, making interactions more enjoyable. The Liquid Glass material mirrors real glass, makes colors adaptable based on surroundings, and reacts dynamically to movement.
As for consistency, the new design will be consistent across all Apple operating systems, such as iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. Widgets, notifications, and app controls will get a makeover to blend effortlessly with modern hardware and app windows.
Timeline and Integration
The Liquid Glass redesign will debut in September 2025 as free updates, improving the cohesive user experience across devices. The new design will spread throughout Apple's ecosystem, including Facetime, Photos, Safari, and CarPlay, to maximize productivity and simplify interactions.
AI Remains a Functional Focus
Although Liquid Glass primarily centers around design, AI-powered features continue to play a vital role in Apple's systems. Recent updates to Siri, their virtual assistant, emphasize the importance of seamless AI integration in the user experience. Google, Apple's tech rival, shows the potential for deep AI integration into smartphones, while Apple focuses on refining individual functions.
In addition to Liquid Glass, Apple offers AI functionality through various apps, such as Apple Photos' advanced photo and video editing tools. The company is also exploring other services, like Apple Music's DJ-curated playlists and short-form video platform, Apple TV+ Shortcuts.
Liquid Glass: A Step Towards a Unified User Experience
As Apple's ecosystem expands, a consistent, cohesive user experience becomes even more critical. By implementing the Liquid Glass aesthetic and improving compatibility across devices, users can expect a more polished, fluid, and harmonious interaction with their Apple gadgets.
The Commission, in collaboration with the European Parliament and the Council, may find the annual report preparation by the Commission more efficient and merged with the focus of Apple's autumn refresh, as the company introduces the Liquid Glass design across its devices, which aims to create a unified user experience. Smartphones may be among the gadgets that users find more enjoyable and harmonious with this design, following its integration with Apple's AI-powered features like Siri and various apps such as Apple Photos.
