A New Look: Liquid Glass Design

The Liquid Glass design is Apple's biggest change to how things look since iOS 7. It's coming to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. Think see-through menus, shiny icons, and softer buttons. It's all about making things look smooth and easy to use, no matter if you're on an iPhone or a Mac. 

In India, surveys say that most people like fancy-looking interfaces. This makeover would probably make Apple even more appealing. Changing the names to match the year, like calling it iOS 26 instead of iOS 19, should make updates easier to understand.

iOS 26: iPhones Get Smarter with AI

iOS 26, which works on iPhone 11 and later models, is getting some useful AI tricks. There's Live Translation in Messages and FaceTime, which translates texts and calls as they happen. That's awesome for India, where people speak lots of languages. The Phone app has a new Hold Assist. 

It quiets the hold music and tells you when a real person picks up – kind of like a feature on Android, but made for Apple. Visual Intelligence lets you ask questions about what's on your screen. You could point your iPhone camera at something in a cafe and ask what it is, and even connect to ChatGPT for more info.

The Camera app has been redone with the Liquid Glass look. The main focus is the shutter button, so you can take pictures without distractions. There's also a Games app that puts all your games in one place with leaderboards and a Play Together feature, which should be popular with gamers in India. You can get these updates for free this fall, and they'll make everyday things easier with simple AI.

iPadOS 26: iPads Get More Powerful

iPadOS 26, which works on iPads that can run iOS 26, makes iPads work more like laptops. You can now make app windows any size you want and arrange them how you like. This lets you do more things at once, like edit videos or work on spreadsheets.

The Files app has a List view where you can change the size of the columns, and the Preview app from macOS is coming to iPads so you can edit PDFs with your Apple Pencil. All this is good news for people in India who use iPads for work or school.

Apple Intelligence also helps with Shortcuts, letting you do things like sum up notes from a lecture by looking at what was said in the recording. Podcasters can record studio-quality sound straight to their AirPods. The Liquid Glass design makes iPadOS 26 look great, which helps it stand out in India's tablet market.

macOS Tahoe 26: Better Desktop Experience

macOS Tahoe 26, named after a lake in California, is now using Liquid Glass on Macs. It works with M1 models and some older Intel-based computers. The Spotlight search tool is getting AI that lets you do complex Shortcuts, like sending emails right from the search results. 

There's a Phone app that lets you make iPhone calls on your Mac and shows big pictures of your contacts when they call, making things work better between your devices. Live Activities, like checking on your Uber Eats order, show up in the menu bar.

The Games app, that's also on iOS 26, brings Mac gaming together with social features. A Magnifier tool uses your iPhone camera to zoom in on small text, which is good for accessibility. These updates are coming this fall and should make macOS Tahoe 26 a great tool for Mac users in India.

Apple Intelligence: AI That Works Everywhere

Apple Intelligence is coming to all of Apple's platforms in 2025, and it's designed to keep your info safe by doing as much processing as it can on your device. Live Translation works in Messages, FaceTime, and other apps. 

Genmoji lets you make your own emojis by mixing existing ones or using ChatGPT. The Image Playground app uses AI to make cool contact posters for calls, letting people in India personalize their phones.

watchOS 26 has a Workout Buddy, which is an AI fitness coach that gives you tips based on your health data. tvOS 26 gives Apple TV a karaoke mode and Liquid Glass visuals. These features will be in public beta in July 2025, showing that Apple is thinking about how to make AI practical and made for users.

Why These Updates Are Cool

The WWDC 2025 updates are a good fit for the tech-savvy people in India. iOS 26's translation and call screening are useful in a country with so many languages. iPadOS 26's multitasking and macOS Tahoe 26's Continuity help professionals, and the Games app jumps on India's gaming craze. The Liquid Glass design makes sure that everything looks good across all devices, and keeps Apple as a leader in India's premium device market.

Conclusion

WWDC 2025 on June 9 had iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, and more, all with Liquid Glass design and Apple Intelligence. From translating languages to letting you do more at once, these updates are making iPhones, iPads, and Macs smarter.
