iOS 26 to Feature “Liquid Glass” UI Elements in Anticipation of 2027 iPhone Models: Report

WWDC 2025 kicks off later today and we’re getting some last minute leaks which shed light on what’s to come. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says iOS 26, which is likely to be the next iteration of the iPhone operating system (OS), will feature a new interface called “liquid glass” with elements resembling the name throughout the user interface. Apple is reported to move away from the current flat design and the new UI is expected to set the stage for an overhaul of the iPhone lineup next year.
