Apple Prepares Developers for Major UI Shift with Liquid Glass Design Kits

Apple’s updated design resources for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26 signal a pivotal moment for interface consistency and modernity across its platforms. According to official announcements and reporting from MacRumors and 9to5Mac, these resource releases closely follow the unveiling of the new Liquid Glass design language at WWDC 2025 and are now available to registered developers via the Apple Design Resources website.

What’s New: Liquid Glass and Its Strategic Significance

Apple’s Liquid Glass design is described as a translucent material that reflects and refracts its environment, dynamically adapting to context to help direct users’ attention to relevant content. Apple design documentation positions Liquid Glass as the most significant visual redesign since iOS 7—a comparison that underlines Apple’s belief in the interface’s long-term impact on user experience.
