Apple has released iOS 26 Beta 2, addressing one of the major issues with its new Liquid Glass user interface design. The updated design modernizes the operating system’s look and feel, but early testers had pointed out flaws in readability and usability. Apple has now fixed the problem with the Control Center, making it easier to differentiate buttons and sliders from the Home Screen content underneath.
Forecast for 6 months: Apple will continue to refine the Liquid Glass interface, addressing remaining issues with readability and usability. We can expect to see further updates to the design, potentially incorporating user feedback and suggestions.
Forecast for 1 year: By the end of the year, Apple will have released a stable version of iOS 26, featuring the refined Liquid Glass interface. This will likely be a major update, with significant improvements to the user experience and potentially new features.
Forecast for 5 years: In the next five years, Apple’s Liquid Glass interface will become a standard feature across all Apple devices, with continued refinements and updates. We can expect to see the interface evolve to incorporate new technologies and design trends, further enhancing the user experience.
Forecast for 10 years: By the end of the decade, Apple’s Liquid Glass interface will have become a benchmark for user interface design, influencing the industry as a whole. We can expect to see other companies adopting similar designs, and Apple continuing to innovate and push the boundaries of what is possible.
