During WWDC25, Apple unveiled a groundbreaking ecosystem redesign, introducing updates across all platforms and introducing a new design language called “Liquid Glass.” This new design language aims to create a cohesive look and feel across all Apple devices, from iPhones to Apple Vision Pro.
One major change is the adoption of a year-based naming scheme for each platform, such as iOS 26 and watchOS 26. Mac operating systems will also follow this trend, with the current release being macOS Tahoe.
The Liquid Glass design language brings a unified aesthetic to all devices, with translucent panels, dynamic backgrounds, and fluid animations creating a sense of visual harmony. This design language is evident in features like the stretched time on the Lock Screen and the glass-like elements throughout the interfaces.
Another highlight of the update is the expansion of Apple Intelligence features across all platforms. While there have been some improvements, such as live translation and visual recognition, there are still areas where Apple’s AI capabilities can be further enhanced.
Continuity and feature parity across devices are also emphasized in this update. Apps like Journal and Preview are now available on multiple platforms, and new multitasking features blur the lines between tablet and desktop experiences.
Overall, the updates from WWDC25 aim to create a more unified ecosystem where devices work seamlessly together. With a focus on design harmony, improved continuity, and enhanced AI features, Apple is moving towards a more connected user experience.
Looking ahead, Apple’s roadmap seems to focus on further unifying its devices and creating a seamless platform where all devices work together seamlessly. The future of the Apple ecosystem is one of coordination and harmony among all devices.
