At WWDC 2025, Apple debuted the Liquid Glass UI design, a significant visual update akin to iOS 7's leap. The focus on a glassmorphic aesthetic marks a departure from the bold, tactile designs adopted by competitors like Airbnb. While it excels on larger screens, there are concerns about its practicality on iPhones. The design, described as fluid and reactive, aims to reflect human interaction, suggesting users can shape the interface. This unique approach signifies a more intuitive experience, aligning Apple's design philosophy with user movement and creativity.
The UI is becoming an extension of human movement i.e. fluid, formless, reactive. Liquid Glass isn't static. It bends, it glows, it lifts and flows with us.
Apple's boldest visual revamp since iOS 7 may face challenges, especially on smaller screens like the iPhone, as larger displays feel more suited to this design.
While Airbnb embraces bold 3D forms and tactile depth, Apple is moving towards an ethereal, glassy aesthetic that signifies their unique design philosophy.
The world is glass, and we are the liquids. Liquid Glass reflects our movements, transforming users from mere participants into active shapers of their digital environment.
