Apple's Liquid Glass design language enhances software with a layered, glass-like aesthetic

Apple's new Liquid Glass design language is rolling out, enhancing software with a layered, glass-like aesthetic for a more natural digital feel. The design refines controls, seen in Safari's minimized URL bar and the Camera app's simplified modes. Lock screens also feature improved translucency and a new spatial scenes parallax effect. Liquid Glass aims for ecosystem-wide consistency across Apple devices, though the Messages app's floating controls are noted as needing further refinement.
