In addition to renaming its core operating systems, today at WWDC Apple announced a major update to visual designs of iOS, iPadOS, macOS and more. Inspired by some of the fancy graphics used in the Vision Pro, this UI overhaul not only features revamped icons and emphasis on translucent elements it also looks to bring a much more unified look to Apple's flagship software platforms.
Based on a design theme called liquid glass, Apple's new visual language will bring increased consistency accross the company's OSes. In iOS, the home screen has been totally revamped with new app icons, including new all-clear options. Wallpapers have been updated to dynamically scale to better accommodate both the subject of photos and on-screen text. Many buttons also have a new floating design that makes them easier to see without becoming distractions.
