The concept of Liquid Glass revolves around highlighting the user's content while introducing a personalized and dynamic feel to the interface. This new design element combines the appearance of glass with a fluid, almost liquid-like texture, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the iPhone.
Apple shared a detailed video aimed at developers to demonstrate the functionality of Liquid Glass. Once iPhone users upgrade to iOS 26 (available for iPhone 11 and newer models), they can expect to see these design changes reflected across various apps on their devices.

The introduction of dynamic shadow effects further enriches the visual experience. Whether an element hovers over text or a solid background, the shadow adapts its darkness level to ensure visibility and balance, creating a seamless and engaging interaction with the interface.
