At WWDC 2025, Apple changed how we interact with our devices with the introduction of a new user interface it calls Liquid Glass. Apple CEO Tim Cook described it this way: “Expressive. Delightful. But still instantly familiar.”

Steve Jobs might have loved Liquid Glass; the battle to keep the iPad from turning into a Mac seems to be over; and other takeaways from a keynote that wasn’t so short on news after all.

Apple will likely focus on the next iOS, which is rumored to have the most significant design change since the introduction of iOS 7.
