Liquid Glass is Apple's visual design language, featuring translucent, glass-like interface elements across iOS, macOS, and other platforms.
Apps have to be rebuilt against iOS 27.0 to fill the iPhone Duo's larger inner display, and the same recompile retires the Liquid Glass opt-out. 9to5Mac expects some developers to drag their feet.

The finished build is out after a July beta, but on older handsets it is an opt-in that needs just under 23GB free. Apple is also offering iOS 26.7 on the same update screen, so support teams have two current versions to track.

The update installs free on any iPhone 11 or later. The Siri that finds a PDF and drafts it into an email starts at the iPhone 15 Pro. That is one version number with two capability sets to support.

A three-month test of iOS 27 finds Siri AI's answers behind the frontier labs and its app hooks ahead of anything else on iOS. Teams planning against the assistant have two different bets to price.
Reality
Tinted Mode gave iPhone owners a fixed pair of options for how opaque the interface looks. Engadget reports that iOS 27 swaps those for a continuous slider, and two other settings still change translucency on their own.

WABetaInfo reports the sidebar is taking over from the bottom tab bar on iPad, and it is turning up on both TestFlight and regular App Store installs, so two people on the same build can see different navigation.

The indie utility's third major version adds input-device pinning, scriptable Bluetooth control and a custom Now Playing surface. It costs $20 and runs on macOS 14 or later.

MacRumors reports the fifth iOS 27 beta changes the look of some app icons and adjusts Liquid Glass. Design work many teams treated as settled is still in motion.

The 2008-era read-it-later app shipped a rebuilt web client, an iOS refresh and voice playback on Android. What the source does not show is where the users came from.
