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

At WWDC 2025, Apple changed how we interact with our devices with the introduction of a new user interface it calls Liquid Glass. Apple CEO Tim Cook described it this way: “Expressive. Delightful. But still instantly familiar.”

After all, the experience has stayed consistent between the updates. Over time, of course, Apple started offering a few exclusive features on the most recent models, such as Apple Music Sing functionality.
