New Delhi, Nov 8 (NationPress) The renowned US technology leader, Apple, has unveiled a fresh section on its Developer website, showcasing third-party applications that have been reimagined using its Liquid Glass design language, which debuted with iOS 26 in September.
This initiative by Apple emphasizes the growing trend of adopting the translucent aesthetic and adaptive layouts throughout its ecosystem.
The new gallery demonstrates how 'teams of varying sizes are leveraging the innovative design and Liquid Glass to craft intuitive, responsive experiences across Apple platforms,' according to the company.
The gallery features side-by-side comparisons of existing iOS 18 versions and updated iOS 26 versions of popular apps, showcasing the evolution of design.

Apple indicated that Linearity, the vector graphics design application, now provides a cohesive experience across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
On the iPad, it introduces a dual-column Inspector for simultaneous editing that adapts dynamically to window size, while on the iPhone, enhanced touch targets and gestures ensure a smoother one-handed operation, as noted by the company.
Earlier, the US tech giant introduced the iPhone 17 on September 9, which features the new Center Stage front camera, a 48MP Fusion Main camera with optical-quality 2x Telephoto, and a new 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera that captures expansive scenes and macro photography in greater detail.
Notably, Apple's iPhone 16 was the top-selling model in India during H1 2025, contributing to a remarkable 96.50% growth in the premium smartphone segment.
Earlier this year, Apple expanded its retail presence in India by opening two new stores in Bengaluru and Pune, anticipating the nation to become a key market for the company.
India is also becoming pivotal to Apple's manufacturing strategy, with one in every five iPhones now being assembled in the country.
