When Apple unveils its next macOS at WWDC 2026, a new report says that it will have a slightly redesigned Liquid Glass interface, though really just the same design iterations the company has always done.Liquid Glass is here to stay, but it will be revisedLiquid Glass has had vocal critics, but just as with every version of macOS before, Apple is going to refine and mildly redesign it each year. According to Bloomberg, this year's revision is chiefly concerned with the appearance of different Mac elements with Liquid Glass.Specifically, the "slight redesign" is to concentrate on improving various readability issues. Where those have arisen so far, it's been in Liquid Glass's transparency and shadow effects, so presumably that is what Apple will work on.
