iOS 27: Liquid Glass Gets Control Slider
16 Mar
Summary
- iOS 27 will retain the Liquid Glass interface.
- A system-wide slider to control Liquid Glass intensity is coming.
- Apple prioritizes performance and stability for iOS 27.
Apple's Liquid Glass interface is set to continue in iOS 27, despite earlier concerns about its readability. Sources indicate that Apple is developing a system-wide slider to provide users with finer control over the intensity of Liquid Glass effects across their devices. This move aims to address user feedback regarding the interface's sometimes challenging display of widgets, menus, and icons.
In parallel with refining Liquid Glass, the focus for iOS 27 will be on significant performance and stability improvements. This approach mirrors past successful strategy shifts toward under-the-hood enhancements. Additionally, a major overhaul of Siri and its integration with Google Gemini is a key priority for the upcoming operating system update.
Apple is anticipated to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 in June. The new software is expected to debut with the iPhone 18 Pro line in September of the same year. Previous efforts to implement system-wide intensity controls faced engineering challenges, but current developments suggest a solution may be found for iOS 27.
