Talk:Liquid Glass

I feel like this would do better in a page about like the style of apple or something instead of its own page. It just doesn't seem notable enough. 2A00:23C8:9C7F:B801:901C:1751:5B2:4396 (talk) 23:58, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Aqua, Material Design, Aero, Metro, Fluent, and Adwaita all have dedicated pages. This being Apple's next big design language, all tech blogs will probably cover Liquid Glass in enough detail over the next few weeks and months to establish notability. Blubits (talk) 06:07, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

The responses to the design change don't seem very strong. Any controversy will probably be gone by the time it actually releases. It feels like recency bias to include it in the article. Pxldnky77 (talk) 00:28, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

We can change it accordingly as the reception evolves. Sohom (talk) 04:08, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

I think it would be more suitable for this article to have a name like “Liquid Glass (user interface)” or “Liquid Glass (design language)” because on its own the term “Liquid Glass” isn’t indicative of the fact that it’s a design language. The name isn’t something like “Apple Liquid Glass” and I don’t think the name of Apple’s new design language will be particularly well known outside of people interested in user interfaces, design, etc. This would also match the article for Apple’s Aqua Tellurium6 (talk) 05:09, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:D2D, this should only be done if there is another subject described on Wikipedia with precisely the name "Liquid Glass". jlwoodwa (talk) 05:18, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

For the record, Liquid Glass is the name of a "material" (i.e. visual effect) used in the new design language. As far as I can tell they don't really have a name for the new design system other than "the new design system". Leahcl (talk) 19:36, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Neither Material Design nor Fluent Design System have anything in their names to indicate that they're design languages (other than perhaps "Design System" for the latter) or to indicate that they're from Google and Microsoft, respectively. Metro (design language) and Adwaita (design language) have "(design language)" in the page titles, but, as per jlwoodwa, that's because Metro is a disambiguation page that links to a lot of different "Metro"-related pages and Adwaita refers to a tortoise.

Pass or Fail:

I like the prose, not much to say there. It's compliant with MOS and WP:INTEXT, I use Samsung, so I have no idea about this, but the article made it clear and that is always a good sign. I like the neutrality, I think it does fit an encyclopedic writing style. However, nothing is perfect:

Following criticism of the design accessibility during its first developer beta release, Apple adjusted the transparency of Liquid Glass to improve legibility.

This text could be better to add it in the Reception section.

Liquid Glass brings an overhaul to existing iOS interface components such as text, sliders, toggles, alerts, panels, sidebars, and the overall frosted glass design, by introducing a new material that can also be used by third-party apps.

Apple describes Liquid Glass as a dynamic material that combines the "optical properties of glass with a sense of fluidity"

It would be better if possible to not use a primary source

I don't think "overhaul" is really neutral

The citation on the lead section is not clear what are you trying to cite.

I think it's notable enough to add at least one sentence about it, and also to add a wikilink to the actual Liquid Ass somewhere, like how that stink bomb article links to this one. Example reference: Warren, Tom (June 10, 2025). "No more Liquid Ass". The Verge. Archived from the original on June 10, 2025.

@~2025-31125-33

Support. I stand up for this too. There actually is a reference at the top of the article Liquid Ass but for some reason it's not mentioned at all on this article. I do get it why they haven't written about it since there isn't much to write about, but as you mentioned, notable enough to add at least one sentence about it. Hoping for this. Antonkneeyo (talk) 15:30, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

We would need more than this source to justify a full sentence, its not even an article. From what I'm seeing this wasn't widely reported in RS (despite being very funny). Jamedeus (talk) 22:11, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Agree with jamedeus, the incident wasn't covered by RS enough to warrant a mention (even though it is funny) Sohom (talk) 04:14, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
