Apple has rolled back some design changes introduced during WWDC 2025, including those made to its upcoming operating systems iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe. The most recent second developer beta update includes revised visuals for the Liquid Glass operating system and the Finder app icon.
Following the unveiling of new design elements, Apple has reverted some of the proposed changes, sparking debate among users. The changes include an updated Control Center appearance with increased darkness and blur when active, but this change seems to have been reversed in the latest update.
Another contentious change was the rearrangement of colors in the Finder app icon’s illustration. However, in a surprise move, Apple has returned the iconic design layout, which features lighter shades on the right and darker colors on the left. These updates have sparked discussions among users regarding Apple’s approach to redesigning its user interface elements.
