Apple Unveils Liquid Glass Design and On-Device AI at WWDC25

Posted on June 11, 2025 by admin

At WWDC25, Apple introduced Liquid Glass, a translucent, fluid interface launching across iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Inspired by the spatial feel of visionOS, it dynamically responds to light, motion, and context—refracting backgrounds, reacting to content, and creating a more immersive, unified experience across all Apple devices.

The redesign extends to everything from lock screens and system menus to tab bars and sidebars, all while better aligning with the rounded edges of Apple’s latest hardware. A new yearly naming system also debuts, with all platforms now using the “26” suffix to reflect their 2025 release cycle.

Apple also announced real-time translation for Phone, FaceTime, and Messages, powered by on-device Apple Intelligence. Translations are spoken aloud and displayed as captions without sending data to the cloud. Developers can now integrate this functionality via a new translation API.

Other highlights include enhanced iPad multitasking with a new windowing system, customizable Mac desktops, a Workout Buddy app with voice coaching on Apple Watch, new Apple TV karaoke features, and shared spatial experiences in Vision Pro. Developer betas are available now, with public releases coming this fall.
