Apple Releases Public Betas of Its New Software Updates With Liquid Glass

Apple has launched public betas for its forthcoming operating systems, incorporating a new design language called Liquid Glass that emphasizes transparency. These betas include iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26, all adopting the Liquid Glass aesthetic. The design draws inspiration from visionOS, leading to significant visual changes, which Apple has already adjusted in subsequent beta releases. The operating systems now feature an updated numbering system, ending with 26, to reflect the upcoming year, which is considered an improvement for identifying the latest software versions.
