Apple just unveiled iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26 (Tahoe), visionOS 26, and watchOS/tvOS 26 at WWDC 2025. With its new “Liquid Glass” design, unified annual naming, and a host of developer-first tools, this release signals a major leap for user experience and application sophistication.

✨ Liquid Glass: A Unified Visual Language

The sleek Liquid Glass interface introduces translucent menus, glossy icons, and rounded controls across all platforms, mirroring the spatial layer aesthetic from Vision Pro. This visual consistency paves the way for apps with immersive, spatial UIs that seamlessly bridge iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro environments.

🤖 On-Device Apple Intelligence & Foundation Models

WWDC also unlocked powerful AI capabilities for developers: Apple Intelligence now opens its on-device foundation model to apps, and Xcode 26 integrates large language models (like ChatGPT) to assist with code generation, refactoring, and workflow acceleration. Expect smarter apps and faster development cycles.

🎛️ Unifying Building Blocks for Spatial & Immersive Apps

  • visionOS 26 adds spatial widgets (persistently sit in real space) and PSVR2 controller support, expanding immersive interaction options.
  • With Unity, RealityKit, ARKit, Reality Composer Pro, and the new Vision Pro developer kit, building spatial-first apps is now more accessible than ever.
  • New APIs across AR, ML, graphics, and spatial computing promise richer, more responsive experiences.

📱 Personalized UX & Intelligent Developer Tools

Apple introduces features like visual intelligence, enhanced Spotlight, live translation in FaceTime and Messages, and improved multitasking tools designed for power users across platforms. For developers, Xcode 26 with AI-powered code tools, SwiftUI refinements, and a modernized toolchain will streamline dev workflows.

Why Startups and Product Founders Should Care

  • Competitive Edge: Apps optimized for Liquid Glass UX and spatial interaction will stand out in the App Store.
  • Next-Gen Audience: Vision Pro apps tap into early adopters, enhancing brand visibility among tech influencers.
  • AI-Powered Experience: Smart, personalized features like on-device translation and image recognition boost engagement and retention.
  • Efficient Development: Foundation model integration in Xcode 26 means faster iteration and lower engineering costs.
