Some users and designers are already panning Apple's new user interface dubbed Liquid Glass, even though it's a bit early. There are reasons to think it might improve — but also valid critiques.

Unlike the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, the Apple Watch was already moving toward this new creative direction, so the differences aren't as obvious. However, Apple Watch users will still notice a few ways in which watchOS 26 is about to change the Apple Watch experience once it launches later this fall.

The new design is rumored to match its upcoming 20th anniversary iPhone, featuring curved glass and slim bezels.
