Apple revealed its new design language, Liquid Glass, during the keynote at its Worldwide Developers Conference 2025. This marks the most significant change to the appearance of Apple’s operating systems since the introduction of iOS 7 in 2013.

The Liquid Glass design language will be applied across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. Apple says this update will create a more cohesive and modern look for all its devices. The new design focuses on smooth, glass-like surfaces and subtle transparency effects. These changes are meant to make navigation and interaction feel more natural and visually consistent, whether you are using an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.

Apple’s goal with Liquid Glass is to unify the user experience across its ecosystem. The company believes that a consistent design language helps users move between devices more easily and makes the overall experience feel more polished. The update will be available with the next major releases of Apple’s operating systems, expected later this year.

This design overhaul is part of Apple’s ongoing effort to keep its software fresh and appealing. Developers and users can expect to see more details and demonstrations of Liquid Glass throughout the conference sessions.
