Apple Unveils Liquid Glass Design, AI Features at WWDC 2025

At WWDC 2025, Apple unveiled a major suite of software updates across its ecosystem, highlighted by a new unified naming convention where all operating systems adopt the year as their version number, such as iOS 26 and macOS 26. Central to the announcements was the introduction of the 'Liquid Glass' design language, bringing translucent, glass-like visual elements to iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS, inspired by its Vision Pro device. This redesign includes adaptive interfaces that respond to light and dark environments, enhanced animations, and customizable widgets and folders, marking the most significant iOS visual overhaul since 2013. Apple also emphasized AI integration with features like on-device ChatGPT-powered tools, live translation across calls and messages, and an AI-enhanced coding environment in Xcode to assist developers. New apps and features were introduced, including an Apple TV karaoke mode and a dedicated Games app with social features to enhance the gaming experience. Overall, Apple focused on blending design innovation, cross-platform continuity, and privacy-centered AI enhancements to strengthen its ecosystem.
