Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language simply bought slightly extra… frosted. Within the third iOS 26 developer beta, Apple dialed again the transparency of navigation bars, buttons, and tabs that after allowed you to obviously see the content material beneath them.
Apple already toned down the glassiness of Liquid Glass after many customers complained that it was too clear and made it tougher to see sure choices, just like the icons contained in the Management Middle. This most up-to-date beta makes Liquid Glass parts much more stable, doubtless as a means to enhance readability. Nonetheless, some customers see the change as a reversal of the flashy, glass-like design that Apple showcased at WWDC.
That is nonetheless only a developer beta, so it’s doubtless that Apple will proceed to make tweaks earlier than it releases iOS 26 to the public in September.
