Liquid Glass: the visual foundation of the next generation
The Liquid Glass design is one of the key visual updates to be announced at Apple’s WWDC 2025 presentation. It features an “iridescent glass” effect, creating a sense of depth and fluidity to the interface. This visual update is intended to be the basis for unifying the look and feel across all of Apple’s operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS.
With this visual refresh, Apple is expected to unify the look and feel of all of its operating systems.
According to Gurman, the company is preparing a radical rethinking of the visual language of its devices, which will also manifest itself in the renaming of systems: instead of iOS 19 and watchOS 12, the expected annual indexes are iOS 26, watchOS 26, and so on.

The WWDC 2025 keynote will kick off on Monday, June 10, at 10:00 a.m. California time. Expect to see demonstrations of new systems, the first elements of the Apple Intelligence platform, and updated interface design.
