This refreshing look brings more transparency, softer color gradients and rounder corners and creates an impressive visual experience based on the Vision Pro operating system.

The concept "Liquid Glass" leads back into the design of light reflections and shadows, which represents a harmonious combination of flat and skiomorphic elements. Apple wants to ensure a familiar user experience without users having to go through a steep learning curve. This user interface is rolled out on all Apple software platforms, which makes it easier to update the entire ecosystem. The last significant change in the user interface took place in 2013 with iOS 7, which left the Skeuomorphe design behind.
