Apple is allegedly preparing to give a major change to its operating system. In its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, which closes at IST at 10.30 pm tonight, the company is expected to introduce the newly designated iOS 26, which will come up with a completely new design language called Liquid Glass, according to a report, according to a report. Bloomberg Mark Gurman. The redesign will allegedly roll out in iOS, Macos, Watchos, iPados and even TVOS. The convenience of new “transparency and glowing effects” is believed to make the interface feel more reflective and dynamic – with other controls that appear like buttons, toolbar and polish glass.

If true, it will be a rare, system-wide design shift for Apple. The last time the company introduced such a broad visual change with the iOS 7 in 2013, when it went away from the scemorphic design as a flatter. Gurman has described the update to facilitate a “sheen and a glass surface scene through a view”, which will apparely feel a lubrication overall.

According to Gurman, the redigine will be more than just a cosmetic update. He wrote in a post on X that the new design “set the stage for the 20th anniversary glass-centric iPhone overhaul.” The 2027 iPhone model features a spontaneous screen with winding glass, ultra-splutter bezels, and no visual cutouts around all sides, which will match the new liquid glass user interface completely.

This alignment, however, will clearly be beyond iPhones. This idea is clearly meant to create the entire ecosystem of Apple – from iPhone to Vision Pro – feel more visually similar. This will help users feel less than visual disconnects when moving from one device to another.

According to a separate report, Apple is expected to update the home screen icon on the iPhone, with new round shapes and bright highlights, which fit new glass aesthetics. While the overall structure and navigation on each platform will be compatible with their device – for example, Macos will not behave like iOS – look and feel will be integrated.

In particular, in accordance with previous rumors, Gurman says that while the new UI design wwdc will be an important focus in 2025, Apple will still lag behind in artificial intelligence in announcements tonight.

Apple’s WWDC 2025 Keenote will be on tonight, 9 June 10.30 PM IST (1 PM ET / 10 AM PT). The event will be held at Apple Park in California, USA. In this program, the company will demonstrate new versions of its operating system, including the newly designated iOS 26 for iPhones.
