Apple plans to tweak the Liquid Glass interface on macOS 27, the operating system expected in June this year. The redesign seeks to correct readability and transparency issues that have frustrated users since the previous implementation. Segundo report by journalist Mark Gurman, from Bloomberg, the changes focus on refining visual peculiarities without abandoning the glass aesthetic that defines the current generation. The next version will arrive with artificial intelligence features, performance and battery gains, as well as general bug fixes.
The Liquid Glass interface, introduced in macOS 26, brought visual transparency effects that affected daily usability in critical areas. Finder, Central of Controle and Apple Music suffered from excessive shadows and effects. Apple recognizes the problems and plans a slight redesign to “deliver on the design team’s original vision,” as Gurman described in its newsletter. The fit maintains the aesthetic philosophy without the flaws that compromise the user experience.
Interface polished, not revolutionized
The history of Apple shows precedents for this type of refinement. In 2013, iOS 7 introduced a radical flat design, leaving behind the realistic look of previous versions. Porém, the change needed to be polished and matured in the following year’s iOS 8. macOS 27 follows a similar strategy — refinement without revolution. The company will not make drastic changes, maintaining Liquid Glass as its central visual identity, but correcting its visual and functional excesses.
Gurman reinforces that the approach will be conservative in design, focusing on solving real usability problems. Shadows will be adjusted, transparency will be modulated, and colors will gain more contrast where necessary. Isso allows old users to recognize the operating system, while new users will have a clearer and more intuitive experience from the first contact.

Artificial Inteligência as protagonist
Além from the look, macOS 27 will be powered by artificial intelligence. Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant, will be completely redesigned and powered by Google’s Gemini. Essa partnership marks a significant corporate strategy as both companies seek to integrate native AI into operating systems. The improved Siri will better understand context, respond to more complex commands, and perform multi-step tasks with greater accuracy.
A concrete example of the new capabilities is the automatic tab organizer in Safari. The tool will use machine learning to group open tabs by theme, allowing for more organized navigation and quick content retrieval. Usuários will be able to search and filter tabs by subject, without needing to memorize URLs or locations. Esse nascent feature type characterizes the generation of intelligent products that Apple intends to launch in 2026.
Pacote full technical
macOS 27 will not only live on visual adjustments and AI. The next version will bring a robust set of technical improvements:
- Ganhos significant performance gains in native applications
- Melhor energy efficiency and battery life
- Correções comprehensive operating system bugs
- Novos native artificial intelligence features in addition to Siri
- Integração deeper with Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch)
- Otimizações for future hardware to be announced alongside the software
The performance gains likely come from kernel optimizations and better memory management. The battery, always a priority in Macs portables, will receive special attention with intelligent algorithms that prioritize tasks and adjust consumption in real time. Bug fixes will address unresolved issues in macOS 26, consolidating a more reliable codebase.

Calendário and expectations
Apple will hold its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) between June 8th and 12th, 2026. Esse is the official moment when all the brand’s software releases will be presented. macOS 27 will be the main highlight, along with updated versions of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS. Desenvolvedoras and enthusiasts are following this event to understand the company’s technological direction in the coming period.
Antes from WWDC, Apple usually releases release candidate versions of operating systems for programmers to test application compatibility. Esse process is already underway with iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5, which received version RC 2 in May. Similar Padrão is expected to occur for macOS 27 in the weeks leading up to the event.
Realistic Expectativa
The changes proposed for macOS 27 reflect the maturation of Glass design and strategic expansion in artificial intelligence. Apple has historically made bold design decisions, but adjusted them when user feedback indicates problems. Liquid Glass was bold; now it will be refined. AI will be integrated natively, differentiating Apple software from competitors adopting bolted-on or cloud approaches.
