Apple's latest announcement at the Worldwide Developers Conference showcased the upcoming iOS 26 update, featuring a revolutionary new user interface called Liquid Glass. In a recent interview, Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, delved into the inspiration behind this innovative design choice. Drawing parallels from the success of visionOS on the Apple Vision Pro MR headset, the use of glass surfaces aims to create a more open and visually pleasing experience for iOS users. However, early beta testing has shown potential performance issues that may need to be addressed before the official release this fall.
