WWDC 2026

Apple has once again done what it does best: made the internet collectively lose its mind over something shiny. The new “Liquid Glass” design in iOS 26 and macOS 26 has Apple fans divided faster than you can say “Skeuomorphism.” Half the internet is swooning over the aesthetic. The other half wants to know where the contrast settings went.

Here’s my take: it’s one of the most beautiful experience changes Apple has made in years. Yes, some controls are faint enough to make you question your eyesight. Yes, the new Phone app feels like someone reorganized your kitchen drawers just to mess with you. But give it a year—what feels confusing today will seem completely logical once your muscle memory catches up. Apple is basically retraining us, one translucent menu at a time.
