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

[VisceralRealist]

I don't mind a reskin, iOS 18 is effectively just iOS 7.11. But it is interesting to me the extent to which Apple is really pushing Vision Pro as the future of everything, and now we have the "VisionProification" of the rest of the ecosystem. (Before, it was making everything look like iOS).

Installing Windows 10 LTSC on my trash PC now just in case this goes badly.

Knock it out of the park, Apple! 🤞

I't confusing. They barely mentioned VisionPro at the last WWDC (only twice in the entire event, and just in passing). It's going nowhere, and they know it..so...

Not sure what to think.

Installed that on my Dell desktop and a family laptop that doesn't support 11. Works fine.

Doesn't look like anything to me.

I was just given a shot glass that looks exactly like that minus the garbage.

 

[Schnegg]

I really hope this isn‘t Apple‘s Vista moment.

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

There’s no pleasing forum users most of the time, I was thinking the same myself. We’ll see shortly 🤷‍♂️

 

[platinumaqua]

Looks like current designers really hates contrast

 

[jon9091]

Whoa. Really ugly. Flush it down the liquid glass toilet.

 

[anthony13]

and this translates to dark mode how?

Looks like current designers really hates contrast

Should really work well for users with vision accessibility issues.

 

[Attirex]

RIP Apple.

 

[JosephAW]

Hopefully reduced contrast turns all that off, have that and reduce motion turned on to just get a normal interface 📱

This looks washed out and it burns my eyes, after a few seconds, trying to refocus on other objects feels weird. It looks like something from a child’s colouring book!

 

[Darajavahus]

Jesus, it's just like clicking on bevel & emboss, inner glow and drop shadow in layer blending options XD This would be sooo cool in 1998.

Aqua 2.0

Aqua 2.0

Not lickable.

Or likeable.

 

[Rogifan]

Liquid glass? Looks more like frosted.

The one of the right looks a bit familiar:

Those actually look better. Taste better too.

Ha, that one I actually like

 

[10anta]

Thanks, I hate it.

 

[darthaddie]

This sir is 100% bonafide prime grade A garbage. Hope it doesn’t make it into the OS’s.

 

[Corefile]

Couldn't AI Steve give the TimNote? That would be an unbelievable demonstration of Apple Intelligence v2.
