Ok, so probably it’s time to unpin my super grumpy post on Liquid Glass from the #WWDC 2025.

I’ll be way less grumpy this new Apple season.

50% LESS GRUMPY! 📉

(At least on the design side. Will see what September will bring for implementation quality.)

@mrudokas I do believe more “materials” are coming, the SOTU transitions and the Origami demo app seem to imply as much (and hint towards paper-y themes)

@radu Would not read too much into that in particular. I have a hard time imagining Apple having had enough of the glass — it will take a while.

Good part is — no 3rd party is prohibited to use anything they want.

@mrudokas Agree that glass is here to stay — my theory is that it will be complemented by supporting materials. Skeuomorphism is back, essentially; the materials will be more than a .png texture this time around.

@radu And there even is a place where starting such expansion would be not controversial — app icons.
