Apple's 2026 operating systems will be unified and see a major visual upgrade called the Liquid Glass design language.

Apple has introduced Liquid Glass in its upcoming iOS 26 update. Liquid Glass provides a "see-through" visual of a glassy surface throughout iOS 26's interface. The liquid part comes into play with how the see-through visuals adapt to the screen depending on what the user is doing.

New touch-responsive Liquid Glass interface design "dynamically reacts" when you touch it, according to Apple.
