With its introduction to iOS 26, Apple revealed a new design style called “Liquid Glass”, which seemed to be a step to unify the design language between software and devices.
Currently, the leaks indicate that Apple may transmit this concept to another level by providing a completely new color for the iPhone 17 Pro, it will be exclusive to this sophisticated style in 2025.
A new color inspired by the interface design
Technical sites and sources on the Weibo platform have circulated leaks that Apple is currently developing a new color option for the iPhone 17 Pro, carrying an inspired by the IOS 26 interface called “Liquid Glass”.
The color appears to be white in the first place, but it reflects multiple colors according to the angle of light falling, which gives it a variable look similar to the dynamic glass surface.
This step indicates a boldness in changing the design traditions that Apple has followed over the years, the company usually provides colors either bright or calm without adventure in the changing visual characteristics, and this experience seems to be aimed at making iPhone 17 Pro significantly distinctively from the rest of the visible versions, which may attract fans of excellence in design.
Will Apple restore an old patent?
The funny thing is that the design of reflex and changing glass is not a completely new innovation in the world of smartphones, as some Android companies preceded it with similar designs for years, such as the Oppo Reno 14 Pro, which presented a shiny variable look, yet presenting this method in the framework of Apple products may give it a special luster in the eyes of its usual audience to the touch of luxury and simplicity.
It is noteworthy that in 2017 Apple recorded a patent for a substance known as “liquid metal” (or metal glass), to use it in the manufacture of rear covers for devices, which leads to the belief that the new “liquid glass” may be an extension of this previous idea, or a more mature development of it in terms of shape and material.
Programming criticism … and visual compensation?
Despite the variation of opinions on the design of “liquid glass” at the IOS 26 interface, Apple may now seek to enhance the experience from the visual physical side via iPhone devices, hoping that it will rebuild a positive impression on the same name.
It is not yet clear whether the new color will carry special properties in the texture or resisting scratches, or is it just a visual change, but it is certain that this color option may be one of the most eye -catching when the official announcement of the phone later this year.
