Apple Store App Gets Liquid Glass Update With New Icon

[MacRumors]

Apple today updated its Apple Store app for the iPhone and iPad, introducing a new icon that better matches the Liquid Glass design changes added in iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.

The new version of the icon features a Liquid Glass shopping bag on a blue gradient background. The prior version of the icon had a blue shopping bag on a white background.

Apple also adopted Liquid Glass design elements for the rest of the app, adding a transparent, rounded navigation bar with a Liquid Glass slider, and an updated search interface. Aside from these design changes, the content in the app is the same.

The Apple Store app features Apple products and accessories, as well as quick access links for support. It can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

😂 Another icon that will be blurry enough to make me think about having my eyes checked (I skipped last year and I'm getting older...grrr).

Can't innovate anymore my glass.

This is what everyone has been dreaming about. Thanks for making dreams come true Apple!

 

[Mac Fly (film)]

Invoke Steve rolling in grave.

 

[platinumaqua]

This looks like something I would make as a child 20 years ago while starting to learn photoshop...

Ugly is the new pretty, and they nailed it.

 

[midkay]

The bag looks weird. Why are the bottom corners so rounded and the top so squared?

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Glass bags.

Following in the footsteps of the bold glass Mail envelope, which is the material everyone associates with envelopes of course.

 

[lolrepeatlol]

that icon is beyond ugly

 

[SAIRUS]

Icon believe it.

 

[jonnysods]

A liquid glass bag (don't drop it).

I'm just not seeing what they are trying to sell me, this new design language does not look like glass.

 

[ForkHandles]

They’ve changed the colour of the logo and squared off the top.

Try not to lose your minds lads!!!

Yes, because the previous version was so much more advanced?

New one looks great imo and definitely fits the current iOS aesthetic. Some of you guys just love to ridicule for the sake of ridiculing.

We need shaman to resurrection steve jobs so tim get cooked

 

[crsh1976]

Is it a shopping bag or a padlock?

 

[usagora]

The bag looks weird. Why are the bottom corners so rounded and the top so squared?

You mean just like lots of actual bags?

 

[PBG4 Dude]

Can’t believe iOS 26 has been out for two months and Apple hasn’t finished updating the default app icons yet.

 

[User 6502]

Quite embarrassing that all Apple apps weren’t upgraded to the new style at iOS 26 launch

The handles are grey too, so  is matching it with the actual Apple Store bags.

The whole Liquid Glass UI is a nod to the old Aqua UI. This looks like a modern take on the original OS X design. I think it looks great.

For those saying things like "Steve Jobs is rolling around in his grave" or "Jobs would not approve" -- he approved the original Aqua theme. Would he approve this? I have no idea and neither do any commenters here.
