Apple hält an Liquid-Glass-Design fest, plant aber mehr Anpassbarkeit.

Overview

  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that iOS 27, due in fall 2026 with details likely at WWDC 2026, will prioritize bug fixes and performance.
  • A system-wide transparency slider is reportedly planned to fine-tune the Liquid Glass effect across folders, the Home Screen and navigation bars after earlier technical hurdles.
  • Apple has already added limited options in iOS 26.x with a global reduce-transparency setting and a lock-screen clock transparency slider.
  • AI work is said to be a top priority, with Google Gemini integration and a more capable chatbot-style Siri codenamed “Campo.”
  • The design language is expected to remain in place across iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS without a wholesale redesign, despite user complaints and the departure of design lead Alan Dye to Meta.
