Apple's WWDC 2025 Playlists Hint at iOS 26's New Liquid Glass Design

[MacRumors]

WWDC 2025 is officially underway, and Apple has shared more playlists that you can listen to throughout the weeklong developer conference.

In addition to the WWDC25 Hello playlist, Apple has released three more playlists on Apple Music: WWDC25 Power Up, WWDC25 Sunshine, and WWDC25 Jazz.

The artwork for each playlist further hints at iOS 26's rumored Liquid Glass design with glassy, see-through user interface elements.

Less than two hours to go until Apple's keynote.

Omg that artwork is horrendous 😱

Excited for WWDC, but I really hope Apple doesn’t ruin the user experience…

 

[Sydnxt]

Doesn't get more official than that lmao

 

[Macbookey]

That is hard on the eyes. Goodbye dynamic affordance.

"Liquid Glass" Design. I'm sure it is unapologetically liquid glass like. It looks more like 'Liquid Trash' to me. Apple is a straight up meme anymore.😂

 

[purplefox]

Just. Awful. 😡

Does not bode well for the rest of the day.

It would be such a Tim Cook's Apple move to do a big new redesign that ends up with everything drained of color. Hope this isn't representative.

The one of the right looks a bit familiar:

I read this entire thread and everyone hates it. I’m sitting here like… yeah this will look mint on dark mode.

Well played, well played indeed. Now that is a blast from the past right there!

 

[theROZ]

Yuck... oh man, has Apple jumped the shark? If they don't intro some type of new xcode with ai....

 

[kirky29]

Oooh I hate it already!

 

[turbineseaplane]

Oh my

I'm going to be spending a lot of time in "Accessibility" I think.

 

[TechWhisperer]

This is atrocious!

 

[svish]

Waiting to see the new design in a few hours from now. Hopefully it will be good!

Maybe it will look better "on device" (hopefully)

Not sure the white background is helping here.

 

[BGrifter]

Liquid glass? Looks like liquid ass.

Yeah, let’s hope so. The design looks incredibly childish and unprofessional. LOL.

 

[acrakes]

Hope it's not awful. Google's new UI looks better.

 

[StellarVixen]

I am gonna be in minority here and say: I welcome this new design.

[tivoboy]

That looks

Like

Sh…….te

 

[Macbookey]

Looks like aqua without the substance.

Looks like aqua without the substance.

Exactly what I thought when I first saw it
