iOS 27 rumored to bring new design changes in two key areas
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple will unveil iOS 27 on June 8, with rumored improvements to the Liquid Glass design, including a new systemwide slider for adjusting transparency and contrast.
- The current iOS 26 Liquid Glass feature offers only two styles—Clear and Tinted—while the upcoming slider aims to provide more granular control over the glass effect.
- Engineering challenges delayed the implementation of this slider across the entire system in iOS 26, but Apple hopes to overcome these in iOS 27 to enhance user customization.
- iOS 27 will also include minor tweaks to the Liquid Glass interface, continuing gradual improvements similar to those made after iOS 7, rather than major redesigns.
- Some users have expressed frustration with UI elements like the Music and Podcasts MiniPlayer and navigation tab bar, hoping for settings that prevent these controls from minimizing automatically.
