Apple's next big UI overhaul, reportedly called "Liquid Glass," is ready for
its big reveal. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the upcoming interface
redesign will feature "sheen and see-through visuals of a glassy surface."
More specifically, Apple's new design language will have "transparency and
shine effects" in its toolbars, in-app interfaces and controls.

It may sound like a superficial makeover, but it's rare that Apple makes such
a major change to its UI. The last big change for iPhones came from iOS 7
when Apple ditched its iconic skeumorphism design in favor of a more
simplified design we have today.

However, Gurman reported that Apple could be getting Liquid Glass ready for
the eventual 20th anniversary of the iPhone next year. According to Gurman,
the upcoming 20th anniversary release of the iPhone will have "curved glass
sides around the entire phone, even at the edges." On top of that, this
special iPhone will have "extraordinarily slim bezels and no cutout section
in the screen" to better match the upcoming redesign.

It's not the first time we're hearing about Apple's rumored redesign, which
was expected to draw inspiration from the Apple Vision Pro. With this Liquid
Glass design, Apple could unify the look of its interfaces across all of its
devices and make it less of a dramatic visual shift when switching between
your Vision Pro and iPhone. This big visual change is expected to align
across the board with iOS 26, macOS, watchOS, iPadOS, and tvOS. We're
expecting to see Apple's Liquid Glass debut during WWDC 2025 which will kick
off on June 9, 1PM ET/10AM PT.
