This is Liquid Glass, the new interface of iOS, Macos, Ipados and Watchos

Great changes were expected to the Interface of Apple’s operating systems, and we already have them with us. Liquid Glass arrivesa new design language that makes use of translucent elements throughout the interface.

Alan Dye, head of human interface in Apple, presented this “inspired” vision “redesign. This “expressive material” precisely adopts the appearance of a layer of liquid crystal that applies to drop -down menus, buttons and other visual elements.

There is a unique effect also on all these visual elements: They are translucentbut they act as a unique lens that shows what is underneath as if those elements were actually made of that material.

Transparencies are very realistic thanks to the effects that mimic this glass effect. In the iPhone wallpaper, for example, the time digits show the background color slightly modified by the effect of “liquid crystal” itself.

This new interface adapts without problems in the dark mode if necessary, although Apple showed above all clear mode in all captures and demonstration animations.

That interface promises to be especially clean, although a priori does not seem especially radical: we have a desk that seems more polished and with more “air” than its predecessor.

There is something especially important: those visual elements are universal throughout the Apple ecosystem. The Liquid Glass design language reaches iOS, macOS, iPados or Watchos equally. All of them take another leap: Theoretically this year Macos 16 or iOS 19 were going to arrive, but instead we will have macos 26 or iOS 26.
