Apple introduced a design refresh called Liquid Glass at WWDC 2025, featuring shiny, reflective, and transparent visual elements inspired by the Vision Pro VR headset.
The Liquid Glass interface update represents the biggest visual change to iOS since the move to flat design style in iOS 7, integrating optical qualities of glass with a fluidity unique to Apple.
The redesign enhances navigation and controls, offers real-time responses to content and user input, and adapts to light and dark environments for a more dynamic user experience.
The new design applies to system experiences like Lock Screen, Notifications, and Control Center, as well as app icons, crafted with multiple layers of liquid glass in light, dark, and clear modes.
