Here’s a closer look at the Liquid Glass design in iOS 26 on the iPhone

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-04-10 04:09:20

Apple said yesterday that iOS 26 was its biggest update to the look and feel of the iPhone since iOS 7, with the same visual design language used across all the company’s devices. It’s certainly a pretty dramatic change, depending on how far you want to take the look. For example, in addition to the ‘tint’ options we got in iOS 18, there’s a new ‘Clear’ option to make all our app icons monochrome glass – which you can see above … Like tint, I have to wonder how many people will actually use it

Why OpenAI and Google's surprising new alliance makes a lot of AI sense

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2026-04-11 10:50:40

MF3d/Getty Images In geopolitics, nations with conflicting societal norms or ideological views must occasionally form alliances in the interest of protecting their mutual interests; practicality must take precedence over past rivalries. Today, a similar dynamic is starting to play out in the AI arms race. OpenAI, the AI start-up that skyrocketed to global fame following the viral success of its ChatGPT chatbot, has teamed up with Google, its longtime competitor, according to a Reuters report.

Apple WWDC 2025 Live: Liquid Glass Design Takes Over iOS 26, MacOS, CarPlay and More

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery.
