The new design of iOS 26 must be called liquid design. This is what to expect and why is it important in the story of Apple.
Prepare, WWDC 2025 will be held this Monday 9 June. During the conference dedicated to developers, Apple must mark the opportunity by presenting iOS 26 (instead of iOS 19). A new nomenclature that should set the tone for the new software experience of the iPhone.
In fact, expect a completely new interface design for iOS 26. A design called “Liquid Glass”. The journalist of BloombergMark Gurman, a great Apple specialist, has some information to share on this subject.
The new interface elements, called Liquid Glass, have the sparkle and the transparent appearance of a glass surface. This initiative is part of an attempt to make Apple control systems more coherent, with a similar aspect for the entire range. This will in particular be translated by transparency and shine effects in all work bars, in-app interfaces and Apple assignments.
The possibility to remember casually that iOS 26 is accompanied by iPados 26, MacOS 26, Watchos 26, TVOS 26 and Visionos 26.
Rare unrest in Apple’s story
The iPhone 16 is cheaper when you rent it out
What if you choose the rent for your future iPhone 16? At Mobile.Club it is accessible from just 36.90 euros per month, with a warranty and insurance included against flight and break!
This new design promises to be historical because it would only be the second major overhaul in the history of apple interfaces.
Mark Gurman remembers that when Apple launched the first iPhone, the brand had gambled entirely on the concept of Skeuomorphism. That means that all icons were drawn to look like an object of real life. The planning application therefore had the appearance of a paper card. For notes it was a yellow notebook with the black lines that were well drawn. The Game Center logo made it completely referring to the game of small horses, while the interface of the app was healed from the same green as the casino tables.
The goal was simple. Many people have become known with touch screens via iPhone and iPad. It was therefore needed a design to keep their bearings to teach them serene to use this type of devices.
The problem with skeuomorphism is that it is not aging very well. A few years later this look had had his day and was no longer very relevant. This is where iOS 7 and his flat design. Literally “flat design”.
With iOS 7, Apple shone everything and opted for a more colorful and simplified design, much more anchored in harmony with time and digital. However, iOS 7 was released in 2013 and the Apple brand has not since initiated a major change in interface.
Prepare the 20 -year -old iPhone in 2027
This is why the new liquid design that is expected for iOS 26 is so important. It is more than ten years since we have not seen such a change.
Moreover, Mark Gurman claims that this liquid design is also intended to prepare the soil on the iPhone of Apple 20 years planned for 2027. The latter should have an unprecedented design with a screen that bends four sides and without interruption, that is, without notch or punch.
As you can see, iOS 26 on WWDC 2025 will probably be the largest event. Especially because Apple IA side should disappoint without an important announcement, so that he can now return to the race against OpenAi and Google.
