The all-encompassing unification of Apple’s OSes — iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS — announced in WWDC 2025. Some initial thoughts:

  • Interesting that they chose to unify their OS version numbering back to the pre-iOS 7 days, where the version number indicates the year the version is landing towards (26 for 2026, meaning next year’s WWDC will unveil 27)
  • The introduction of the Liquid Glass design has sparked a lot of debate online, and I’ve been personally on the fence about how things look. Should accessibility really take a small step back for ‘nice’ visuals? How will this affect the devices’ performance?
