At WWDC 2025, Apple unveiled Liquid Glass, a stunning design language that brings a translucent, glossy aesthetic to all its operating systems. Inspired by the Vision Pro's visionOS, it's the biggest UI overhaul since iOS 7, aiming for a unified, futuristic vibe across iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more.
iOS 26, named for the year 2025-2026, packs new features alongside the Liquid Glass redesign. From spam-fighting tools to a gaming hub, it's built to make your iPhone more intuitive and engaging, with a public release expected in September 2025.
Beyond iOS 26, Apple dropped updates for its entire ecosystem. While Apple Intelligence took a backseat, features like iPadOS 26's multitasking and watchOS 26's Workout Buddy caught attention. No hardware was teased, keeping the focus on software.
