Apple introduced its biggest software design overhaul in over a decade during the 2025 Apple Event, unveiling ‘Liquid Glass’ as the defining visual style for iOS 26 and other platforms like macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Liquid Glass officially launches on iOS 26 starting September 15, 2025, alongside the new iPhone models, with a rollout planned for other devices soon after.
According to Apple’s senior vice president Craig Federighi, Liquid Glass uses Apple silicon chips to create real-time 3D effects and fluid transitions without slowing down device performance. “Liquid Glass blends beauty with intelligence, bringing interfaces to life like never before,” he explained at the event.
Liquid Glass
Liquid Glass is a software-driven design, not actual glass. It uses transparency, reflections, and motion effects to make apps, buttons, and controls look like real glass objects. The design can react to light and dark modes, change colours, and morph in response to scrolling and device movement. For example, the Lock Screen now features time and date that stretch or shrink dynamically depending on the wallpaper or notifications, creating an immersive sense of depth. Control Centre, notifications, and app widgets also adopt glass-like finishes that reflect and refract the surrounding content.
Liquid Glass features
Apple has confirmed this design refresh goes beyond iOS: developers can update their apps with Liquid Glass features to match Apple’s ecosystem-wide look. Tabs, buttons, and icons are redesigned as multi-layered glass components that respond and adapt as users interact with them.
App menus, navigation bars, and widgets have been updated to match this new fluid appearance. Throughout the system, content becomes easier to find, and controls are more visually distinct and instantly accessible.

This update is now rolling out, beginning 15 September, and sets a new standard for design across Apple devices in 2025.
