Apple announced Liquid Glass on Monday for all of its devices at WWDC 2025. Perhaps the most noticeable thing about it is that app icons, tab bars, and even the text magnifier you’ll see when you hover over words feel, well, liquid-y and glassy.

Some users and designers are already panning Apple's new user interface dubbed Liquid Glass, even though it's a bit early. There are reasons to think it might improve — but also valid critiques.

Described as “a new translucent material that reflects and refracts its surroundings” by Apple, Liquid Glass is meant to bring “greater focus to content, and [deliver] a new level of vitality across controls, navigation, app icons, widgets, and more.”
