\t\"iOS<\/p>\n

Apple has a new Liquid Glass design coming to iOS 26, macOS 26, and every other software platform. And whether you love it, hate it, or are indifferent, Apple\u2019s new design seems like a major win in several key ways.<\/p>\n

Software redesigns are risky, but Apple accepted the challenge<\/p>\n

Whenever software gets redesigned, it\u2019s a risky move.<\/p>\n

Apple knows that from last year\u2019s big Photos app revamp<\/a>, which many users were not a fan of.<\/p>\n

Because of the risks associated with big changes, I wasn\u2019t sure we would ever see the arrival of a new iOS overhaul.<\/p>\n

Yet Apple saw fit to tackle not only iOS, but also macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS with this year\u2019s Liquid Glass redesign.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

Talk about a tall task.<\/p>\n

Somehow though, based on what Apple has shown publicly<\/a>, I think Liquid Glass could be a huge win for the company and its users.<\/p>\n

With iOS 26 and its companion releases, Apple has managed to craft a new design that checks four important boxes.<\/p>\n

Four ways iOS 26\u2019s Liquid Glass design succeeds<\/p>\n

\"Designers<\/p>\n

iOS 26 is still in beta and will no doubt change before its release date<\/a>. However, just based on what Apple has shown publicly, I\u2019m calling it a win.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s new Liquid Glass design achieves four things. It\u2019s simultaneously:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fresh and fun, giving Apple\u2019s products a \u2018new\u2019 shine<\/li>\n
  2. Still very familiar, not too jarring for users<\/li>\n
  3. Unifying of various products for a better cross-platform experience<\/li>\n
  4. And it preps for future hardware in the works<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That\u2019s a lot to pull off with one redesign, but I think Apple\u2019s done it.<\/p>\n

    Whether or not Liquid Glass is an objective improvement over prior designs, I\u2019ll leave others to answer. Everyone has their own opinion.<\/p>\n

    But undoubtedly the new design provides a fresh, new look and feel for Apple products that\u2019s nice to have.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Yet at the same time, everything still works similarly to how it did before. There\u2019s little about the new design that requires a fresh learning curve, unlike iOS 18\u2019s Photos app.<\/p>\n

    Apple has also unified its various platforms in a big way. Ecosystem has long been a strength for Apple, and with the Liquid Glass design, moving between different products will feel more seamless than ever.<\/p>\n

    Finally, this design was no doubt crafted with future hardware in mind, too. What better match for Liquid Glass than a pair of Apple Glasses<\/a>? Or an iPhone that\u2019s all screen<\/a>?<\/p>\n

    In one impressive swing, Apple looks to pull off a huge win with its new design. Let\u2019s check back in September to see how the masses really respond.<\/p>\n
