news.ycombinator.com Apple Inc. 2026-03-14 22:48:47

Liquid Glass is a significant new step and evolution of the look and feel of Apple software. It introduces a flexible, dynamic layer to apps and system experiences across Apple’s ecosystem of products. It builds on learnings from all the way from the Aqua user interface of Mac OS X, through to the realtime blurs of iOS 7, to the fluidity of iPhone X, the flexibility of the Dynamic Island, and the immersive interface of visionOS.

There might finally be an answer about whether or not Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) knows if Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is really the caped superhero in red trunks, and it’s slipped into a quick teaser DC Studios just unleashed for Superman.
