WWDC 2025 Recap: All of Apple’s New Features in 10 Minutes – MacRumors

WWDC 2025 Keynote has just ended and Apple just announced all of its new features and changes across its platforms.

The biggest news, however, is Apple’s new design language for its platforms and that’s Apple’s Liquid Glass design. Liquid Glass is what Apple is calling the new look that’s coming to all of its updates, and wow, does it look different. So Liquid Glass is translucent, and designed to refract and reflect the light from its surroundings.

On the iPhone, the Home Screen, Lock Screen, controls, navigation, app icons, and widgets have been overhauled. You can even choose a whole new glass-like look for your app icons, and the Lock Screen has an adaptable font for the time that stretches or shrinks to fit your wallpaper. Speaking of wallpaper, your photos now have a 3D effect that moves when you move your iPhone.
