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.”

But my feelings about Liquid Glass are complicated. Yes, it looks nice. No, in most cases (the Apple Watch’s Workout app being the most obvious exception), Apple doesn’t seem to have messed too much with the navigational structure and location of controls,

Apple’s Liquid Glass UI brings big, bold and, ocassionally, beautiful changes to the interface. But readability and accessibility takes a backseat.
