@rahilshaikh7060whatsapp have many of these things already. I really don't see the advantage of using imessage beside picture fidelity. Although In whatsapp you can set video and pictures to "HD" quality already. It looks way better than it used to
the ipad highlight is like windows as well. I can do the same with samsung dex but I'm not using it. I'll check those changes once they rollout the update. my ipads are mainly for games.
@Robocat9000 trust me; the guys who actually brought widgets to iPhone probably know they’re late to the game. The question is: can the people watching the livestream be captivated enough by language to convince themselves that their version is the best?
You give Steve too much credit for WWDC. He’s a genius when it comes to marrying design and function but in his last WWDC tried to peddle Pages, Keynote, and iCloud to people. Things nobody really uses nowadays.
Apple lives in its own fantasy land where adding some UX tweaks (Windows Vista pulled this off 18 years ago) somehow deserves a 15-minute victory lap. What other companies would casually mention in a 15-second slide, Apple unveils like they’ve just invented the wheel.
And yet they are the number 1 company . People have been saying this about apple for years and they still stay winning . It’s almost like people value UX design ???
@jlaw1901 no it wasn't that was a update for regular car play, the car they're showing CarPlay Ultra on was a Aston Martin, they just did show the Logo on the steering wheel.
exactly it will distract the heck out, weird motions happening behind every control, just like how they fumbled always on display I suspect they will bring "just blur" mode which will remove all the reflections from this glassy design
@nishantdesai3705 Yes, even the progress bar when playing a video vibrates or does these weird glass effects. There’s visual noise everywhere. Why can’t such elements just be plain white?
They’re recording it in live time, then immediately cutting best things as it goes, essentially having a great video ready minutes after each piece went live. the WWDC has a normal rhythm so they were finalizing during the final minutes. Only waiting until there was no more announcements.
The Liquid Glass is almost a joke… it’s almost the same design of the current iOS except instead of being semi transparent, it’s now transparent! Wow… LOL
@akahaydenMy problem is Apple saying this ls the biggest redesign since iOS 7… i’m sorry, but no it’s not! They just changed the transparency and some apps icons… this is the most lazy and useless redesign of all time for iPhone!
@Roy_1 As much as I like windows 7 and uhh.. appreciate vista, you gotta admit the design is only cool because it's nostailgic now. It's completely ugly and tacky and I honestly hated the transparent design
It still blows my mind that you’re not allowed to use your phone while you’re driving, but they have stuff like this CarPlay. it’s literally a smartphone mounted in your dashboard at this point.
You still need to touch a touchscreen. Hence the name. The major downsides are the light that makes glare at night an issue, as well as a lack of physical controls that means you have to look at the display to do nearly anything, which is largely unnecessary in a non touchscreen vehicle
@thatguy1153- You can control everything in CarPlay with your voice. You don’t need to physically interact with it. This is safer than using knobs and buttons.
We have been waiting for years and THIS is what they come up with? Transparent menus (they call it liquid LOL) John Ivy falling off his chair laughing.
I have never seen a theme pack on my Android be able to get rid of this insane torture called flat design that i am forced to live through day by day. I hope this change by Apple gets us all closer to a better UI design environment.
And in iphone comparison texts along with maximum nits, NFC, and BT, there'll be a things saying Liquid Glass. lol "Liquid glass is such an advanced and powerful theme, Only iPhone 17s and above can run it."
I tried to watch the full WWDC video and was disappointed with the small updates. Then I came here and...wow. They could've skipped this update entirely and hardly anything would be missed.
@TheRideCalledLife you can use Gemini in ios as well, Apple never had a search engine same way they will never have their own AI, they will give option to use chat gpt/ gemini in iphones, I would like apple to offer full version of chat gpt to all iphones as default .
No hardware is disappointing. The pundits and rumor sites build up our expectations, so it always seems like a let down, even when they announce hardware. This happens every WWDC since forever. The thing is, the World Wide Developers Conference is not for everyone. It’s for developers. I gave up expecting anything from WWDC. I’d have liked to see new hardware. But other than that, I’m not really disappointed. I do miss the MacWorld shindig they used to have every January. Those were a lot of fun, and aimed at the user.
@MarcosElMalo2 Even for developers. I am an engineer. This was underwhelming. They didn't talk about Xcode. And all the OS had no major change. This just shows apple is struggling right now. I hope they pull up.
Not them removing the round cursor for a “standard arrow cursor” in iPadOS after they called it a feature in 2020 in their “a guide to proper computing” ad 😂
I thought they were going to change the app icons shape this year like VisionOS but probably holding that off so they can introduce the new icons along with an anniversary iphone update in 2027
I just want to be able to stick photos into folders, and not see them in my main unsorted area. That is so frustrating. Photo organization is the pits for Ios
Meanwhile competitors are racing ahead in AI while interacting with Siri is like you've gone back to the year 2012. I have third hand embarrassment for Apple. Whoever is in charge for product roadmap should NEVER be in charge of anything every again in their life.
It needs to go back to just being developers only so there are low level discussions. This doesn’t need to be public for consumers who have no idea what’s going on are viewing it. Turns into a watered down crap show.
@Psychonauyeah they’re focused on usability and follow trends. All trends are circular, 90s fashion is on the shelves now. In the 90s there was 70s fashion on the shelves.
I honestly hate this new design. Where is the contrast? This is going to be extremely hard to read in some occasions and it just looks "old fashioned". Just how we imagined "futuristic and modern", but 20 years ago.

Liquid Glass: Apple applies a glassy icon pack on all icons 😂
More like liquid trash, amirite
I can barely stomach glassy UI, but these glassy icons are fugly, remind me of free icons packs from the early android customisation era
frutigier aero like the Windows 7
It looks good 🤷♂️
@MBarberfan4life it kinda hurts looking at it for some reason.
In 3 years. “Introducing Apple high contrast” bold visuals with distinct purpose
That react magically to the changes in color around you or something like that lol
Apple team need not see this😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅
STOP FUELING THEM TRIVIAL IDEAS
That OnlY ApPle CaN Achieve!!!
I guess Tim is really Cooked
🍳🍏
💩🙃
I laughed out loud at the ‘backgrounds’ announcement.
WhatsApp has it for years 😂😂😂
@rahilshaikh7060fr😂
At least they gave it a clever name/s-o
@rahilshaikh7060whatsapp have many of these things already. I really don't see the advantage of using imessage beside picture fidelity. Although In whatsapp you can set video and pictures to "HD" quality already. It looks way better than it used to
Using it in telegram for decades
Liquid Glass is like Windows Aero from Windows 7 & Vista 🤣
the ipad highlight is like windows as well. I can do the same with samsung dex but I'm not using it. I'll check those changes once they rollout the update. my ipads are mainly for games.
Better than going business minimalist
Yeah can Aero reflects light and does light refraction?
“UsERs LovE WIDGetS” 😂🤦🏿♂️
😂
that was incredibly cringe ngl
Apple discover widgets 5 years ago and now they still think that it's a new invention they came up with
@Robocat9000 trust me; the guys who actually brought widgets to iPhone probably know they’re late to the game. The question is: can the people watching the livestream be captivated enough by language to convince themselves that their version is the best?
I also loved widgets, on my Samsung s2 2010😂
Announcing background images in messages like it's something groundbreaking is just..... I don't even have words to describe lol
Don‘t forget about the polls! Pure inno…
😂😂😂
Appleshitification? 😂
That's great, now the clock gets bigger on the home screen. So useful-my life is better now
and it gets smaller as notification comes in.... your life is 2x better
We think you’ll love it!
I actually thought that was pretty amazing. Even game changing.
..its ridiculous...thats what it is!
So your whole life evolve around I product??? 😂 😂 😂
Google : We created a screen through which conversations with 2d subjects appear 3d
Apple : shiny glass like icons
I feel like apple is telling me to switch to android. 😂
Imagine showing this to Steve Jobs.
He would love it 👌
He would be like, all you could do is change colors and make the background move. You fired!
A lot of people aren't aware of the internal drama at Apple currently. Steve would have been firing people left and right at this point.
You give Steve too much credit for WWDC. He’s a genius when it comes to marrying design and function but in his last WWDC tried to peddle Pages, Keynote, and iCloud to people. Things nobody really uses nowadays.
@ifannecandoitsocani7288icloud is useful. Especially if you have several devices like a iPad and iPhone
Did we just get Pranked by Apple?
Nay, you just got tim cooked. 😂😂😂
only Apple can deliver the absolute minimum and present is at something groundbreaking
They *tried* to present it as groundbreaking…
Can't wait for glass emojis next year! You think we're gonna love it.
Yes you WILL love it!
9:05 “Familiar controls…” just give us macOS on iPad already!!!
Google release the world's most powerful AI 3 times over the past 6 weeks.
Apple takes 1 year to release transparent notifications...
Too bad nobody except investors really cares about AI.
Speak for yourself @Toiletpaperhastwosides
@franklyn_steinzoh AI bros. Forgot about that.
@Toiletpaperhastwosides"Too bad nobody care about the internet apart from investors" said some old dummy in 1995
@Toiletpaperhastwosides"Too bad nobody except investors care about the internet" said someone in 1995
It’s amazing how Apple just invented Windows Vista!😂
My mind is absolutely boggled 🤓
Vista was a clone of Apple’s Aqua
😂😂😂
@franchiseisibor7456 Didn't Microsoft get sued for it too? I remember them having to basically almost scrap Windows Vista and start over.
lol Aero
ios 26: "Be water, my friend" - Bruce Lee
It’s sad to see Apple hanging the entire iOS update on a visual effect that’s pointless.
Indeed. They are running out of ideas. Steve jobs was the brain of apple
Features we didnt ask for
Welcome to the android world… after 15 years
Apple lives in its own fantasy land where adding some UX tweaks (Windows Vista pulled this off 18 years ago) somehow deserves a 15-minute victory lap. What other companies would casually mention in a 15-second slide, Apple unveils like they’ve just invented the wheel.
And yet they are the number 1 company . People have been saying this about apple for years and they still stay winning . It’s almost like people value UX design ???
@Coolguy-mk7hgLess and less so each year
windows vista is literally inspired by apple aqua
next year in Samsung UI.
#3 actually now @Coolguy-mk7hg
Maybe Apple employees are now so rich that they aren’t worried about losing their jobs. 🤷♂️
welcome back windows vista
2:27 Aw yes, CarPlay Ultra exclusively premiering on the Aston Martin DBX. These Silicon Valley executives are so far removed from reality.
Normal CarPlay was first introduced in the 2014 Ferrari FF, it won’t stay exclusive
What else is it supposed to run on? A dashboard with no screens can’t exactly support that.
It was shown on a mustang…
@jlaw1901 no it wasn't that was a update for regular car play, the car they're showing CarPlay Ultra on was a Aston Martin, they just did show the Logo on the steering wheel.
@Edward135iit’s gotta start somewhere. This is definitely something other brands will adopt too.
I’ll just wait for the SAMTime review 😂👍
Why does it feel like your grandpa discovering a 20 year old feature, getting excited and thinking it's cool
I really can't believe they just discovered BACKGROUNDS and windows vista
😂
Don’t you want AI slop as your iMessage background? 😂
They figured out how to drain my battery faster.
Good for him 😊
Great, everything will be harder to see
That's exactly what bothers me about it. Not the design itself, but EVERYTHING-really everything-is harder to read, to recognize, or to use.
exactly it will distract the heck out, weird motions happening behind every control, just like how they fumbled always on display I suspect they will bring "just blur" mode which will remove all the reflections from this glassy design
@nishantdesai3705 Yes, even the progress bar when playing a video vibrates or does these weird glass effects. There’s visual noise everywhere. Why can’t such elements just be plain white?
@sladexosbecause they need something new every year and I guess they haven’t come up with anything actually useful…
idk how you do it so fast..
They’re recording it in live time, then immediately cutting best things as it goes, essentially having a great video ready minutes after each piece went live. the WWDC has a normal rhythm so they were finalizing during the final minutes. Only waiting until there was no more announcements.
AI
??????
thats what she said
Cut 'n go™️
Is Apple the next Nokia?
i think so man , this is just outrageous on so many levels
I legit thought this, also I am looking at myself for buying in to all of their BS.
Basically it's the same thing we have 😂
Apple is amazing. Amazing at how they continue to disappoint each year.
this is too funny 😂
I feel like it’s a high school presentation.. they could have mailed about this
They're never putting MacOS on the iPad and they're never putting touch screens on Macbooks.
If only ipads had the macos, it would be the perfect computer for this age.
@TheEveryDayDream Wouldn't that make them macbook airs with touch screen
laptops with touch screens are a horrible idea. your arm will want to fall off
of course they won't; doing either would lead to either MacBooks cannibalizing iPad sales or vice versa, in both cases they lose money
@TheDracarys Nah, it doesn’t work like that. You only use it some of the time. Not all the time, but of course, a convertible makes the most sense
MacPad is coming in a couple of years.
So, Apple got the Windoes Vista update
This could’ve been an email
😂
should’ve
Gg what not
👍😄
A Tweet
breaking news: Apple discovers gaussian blur
🤣🤣🤣
OMG 😆😆😆
Photoshop time! 😅
im 2 minutes in and i feel like this is a windows XP update from 2006
This looked like one of those prank ads
I hate Apple yet I have everything they make. How?
Same
The Liquid Glass is almost a joke… it’s almost the same design of the current iOS except instead of being semi transparent, it’s now transparent! Wow… LOL
Youre right, bro
that was kinda the idea...
@akahaydenbut this is the innovation, it is right? 😂
@sandityaibnu5268lol, I honestly like it. It obviously isn’t a new feature by any means, but as an apple user it’s nice to get a refreshed, clean look
@akahaydenMy problem is Apple saying this ls the biggest redesign since iOS 7… i’m sorry, but no it’s not! They just changed the transparency and some apps icons… this is the most lazy and useless redesign of all time for iPhone!
Apple seems to be putting more and more money each year into events showing off smaller and smaller product changes.
Welcome to 2007, Windows Vista Aero
Vista was 2007, XP was 2001
Ikr I was thinking, reminds me of Windows 7, which was the best looking Windows design overall
@Roy_1 As much as I like windows 7 and uhh.. appreciate vista, you gotta admit the design is only cool because it's nostailgic now. It's completely ugly and tacky and I honestly hated the transparent design
@WhiteRabbit.T.V😂 👍
It’s so ugly
Windows Vista bro 2006 -Transparent Skin
Still only 3 app options on the left side of CarPlay screen…..ugh..
AI: Apple Incompetence
Where is the Apple iFlipPhone
😂
😂
😂
Some Apple fanboy is gonna reply to you in defense of Apples garbage AI
It still blows my mind that you’re not allowed to use your phone while you’re driving, but they have stuff like this CarPlay. it’s literally a smartphone mounted in your dashboard at this point.
Yes but you are not holding it. This means you have your hands free in case you need them
You still need to touch a touchscreen. Hence the name. The major downsides are the light that makes glare at night an issue, as well as a lack of physical controls that means you have to look at the display to do nearly anything, which is largely unnecessary in a non touchscreen vehicle
@thatguy1153- You can control everything in CarPlay with your voice. You don’t need to physically interact with it. This is safer than using knobs and buttons.
@Toglander That’s something someone that doesn’t use knobs or button would say.
@jakedizzle- Exactly. Because unlike you, I live in 2025. Your antiquated physical buttons are gone and are never coming back. Accept it, and move on.
The new semi-transparent design affects readability; I might stick with dark mode.
Exactlyyyy, you can’t read anything with a glass background.
Some of the concept designs were more solid than this thing they introduced
Yep, i have everything in solid black background. Battery is amazing.
coming from beta: its still unreadable even in dark mode
Yea why is everything so hard to read. I like clear borders man
It only looks cool on tv. It's not great in practice
Can you fix our sound when silence is off
Is no one else amused that the entire keynote when all the transitions and stuff were cut out… is 9 minutes of substance
I hope they didn’t forget to include an option to disable the glass-style.
Agreed
That innovation will come in iOS28
The camera icon in the Home Screen and in the Lock Screen is not consistent.
We have been waiting for years and THIS is what they come up with? Transparent menus (they call it liquid LOL) John Ivy falling off his chair laughing.
Translucent*
Windows Vista (aero) 😅
Live Activity got me🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
A P P L E : all products painfully languishing expectations.
hahahahah Hillarious.
"Apple: Here's Liquid Glass with a keynote and fireworks.
Android: It's literally a $2 theme pack."
Free tbh not even $2
I have never seen a theme pack on my Android be able to get rid of this insane torture called flat design that i am forced to live through day by day. I hope this change by Apple gets us all closer to a better UI design environment.
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And in iphone comparison texts along with maximum nits, NFC, and BT, there'll be a things saying Liquid Glass. lol
"Liquid glass is such an advanced and powerful theme, Only iPhone 17s and above can run it."
@C0r3V0Xfr, sounds like a bot
Now here’s Stephon to tell you about how we picked the perfect shade of green for the message logo redesign.
Problem with liquid glass is that it doesn’t integrate as well with the background because it’s very opaque …
Apple WWDC 2026 - We have removed Liquid Glass and bringing Solid stone, which is high contrast icons. Revolutionary......
the presentation gives me the feeling that i'm watching a dystopian sci-fi movie
Won't wait for fireship video. 😂
For the first time in a long time the thought of building my own PC came to mind.
Not sure what that's got to do with anything other than MacOS? Which MacBooks are still king of laptops.
Biggest highlight was probably the version numbering
Emotional Damage
What’s with their odd body language and hand placement?
the ipad attaching to the keyboard seemed odd
This is the way.
AI generated OS
I literally was doing all this when my phone was jail broken back in iOS 8
Liquid glass looks like the Sky TV logos
Windows Vista is calling to get its homework back 😂
9:25 that transition 😂
Windows Snap Assist 😅
What about it lol
I don’t get it
9 minutes was too long for this trivial content.
This video randomly popped up and I m glad it did
WTF, 1 YEAR FOR THIS???????!!!!!! they have thousands of people there, Apple is not the same!!!
Theygotten lazy throughout the years.
Apple only hires people who are young and who come from Tier 2 and Tier 3 school but who are also the manager's friends
I tried to watch the full WWDC video and was disappointed with the small updates. Then I came here and...wow. They could've skipped this update entirely and hardly anything would be missed.
“CarPlay will help you keep your eyes on the road…with even more things to attract your attention!”
Searchlight can’t even find a file. They should start with that.
*Spotlight is superfast at finding files, much faster than windows
New UI is not enough,where are:
1. Normal keyboard
2. Clipboard history
3. Android like Swipes
4. 2 apps on the screen?
JC the clipboard history is so long overdue
Psst... it's not Android.
I don’t get why no clipboard better keyboard and universal back button! iOS has so many ways to go back and it’s not always clear!
@stephencooper3583 ok then give iOS style resolution , but they just keep ignoring these problems
That is for 2046
Frutiger Aero makes a comeback?
So we finally got Windows Vista on a M4 Pro chip
I would've said 7 xD
i remember having those transparent icons on the ipod touch back in the day, classic jailbreak cydia tweak
OMG Cydia, brought me back to 2012
I almost slept on this one. This was an underwhelming WWDC. It’s been a while since apple has had one of those.
Huge letdown.. basically new appearance and that’s about it. Meanwhile Google AI is dominating while apple is focused on “liquid glass”
I actually fell asleep lol
@TheRideCalledLife you can use Gemini in ios as well, Apple never had a search engine same way they will never have their own AI, they will give option to use chat gpt/ gemini in iphones, I would like apple to offer full version of chat gpt to all iphones as default .
No hardware is disappointing. The pundits and rumor sites build up our expectations, so it always seems like a let down, even when they announce hardware. This happens every WWDC since forever.

Dude was that Spotify AI DJ narrating at around 5:40?😂
I knew that voice sounded familiar 😂😂
Underwhelming, is an understatement.
Could’ve been an email
Windows Vista making a comeback!
😅😅😅😂😂
Boom...
I hate to admit this, but now it has AI :P
Yes. It is available exclusively to Apple users.😂😂
@wannabe-SJ With AI :P
from phone designer to wallpaper designer😂
Not them removing the round cursor for a “standard arrow cursor” in iPadOS after they called it a feature in 2020 in their “a guide to proper computing” ad 😂
Is it me, or do the the app icons look exactly the same.
I thought they were going to change the app icons shape this year like VisionOS but probably holding that off so they can introduce the new icons along with an anniversary iphone update in 2027
@LouieSamman no, rounded squares icons are part of their branding, and fits the grid on iOS, macOS, etc. The iPhone would go circular if the icons do
Yeah. The same. I was hoping for at least a circular theme option. Or more circular than what we got.
@LouieSammanand call it something “magical” and make it the biggest feature of 2026 lol
No man it is just worse
In remembrance to those who sat through the entire one and a half just for this 🕯
Apple discovers windows vista existed lol
Vista was a copy of Aqua . Learn ur facts right
Waiting for the photos app to roll back
Is apple thinking they are UI / UX company ! no futuristic updates just changing old widgets
insane how fast you guys edited and published the video
the magic of AI 😊
AI edited it that quick
Quality of life updates should not be WWDC content.
I definitely agree. These should be slight updates
Meh. Just fix the photos app, please.
they did, CNET forgot to add it in their video. Apple have added a toggle to switch on and off the collections in photos app.
@ubdigitaldiveReally?? I hope that’s true!
I just want to be able to stick photos into folders, and not see them in my main unsorted area. That is so frustrating. Photo organization is the pits for Ios
Why is the Spotlight guy whispering?
Is this presentation real, or this is some kind of a joke?
Finally iPadOS is getting windows and multitasking!
And don't forget the mouse pointer, what innovative features.
@attilarepasi6052 😂
@user-rs3lm1ci6n windows 40320?
Literally the only exciting change. Hopefully you can play music and a video now without it pausing
@user-rs3lm1ci6nipad is not for computer 🖥️ OS you stupid fellows Mac OS is there
Meanwhile competitors are racing ahead in AI while interacting with Siri is like you've gone back to the year 2012. I have third hand embarrassment for Apple. Whoever is in charge for product roadmap should NEVER be in charge of anything every again in their life.
Version numbers is a highlight lol
Yep. Great innovation 🎉
🤦🏼♂️
Why didn't they properly show how the notification bar looks?🤔👽
Cancel WWDC. Apple has ran out of creativity. We do not need to wait a year for a hyped up event to get a new theme pack.
It needs to go back to just being developers only so there are low level discussions. This doesn’t need to be public for consumers who have no idea what’s going on are viewing it. Turns into a watered down crap show.
This feels like a seasonal Windows 11 Update.
@Psychonau Compared to?
@Psychonauyeah they’re focused on usability and follow trends. All trends are circular, 90s fashion is on the shelves now. In the 90s there was 70s fashion on the shelves.
I honestly hate this new design. Where is the contrast? This is going to be extremely hard to read in some occasions and it just looks "old fashioned". Just how we imagined "futuristic and modern", but 20 years ago.
My thoughts exactly. Why on earth would I want my menu bars to be harder to read?
