iOS 27 will reportedly<\/a> come with changes to the iPhone\u2019s interface. Those changes aren\u2019t expected to be as major as iOS 26, but they could still reveal a lot about Apple\u2019s priorities under new design leadership.<\/p>\n iOS 27 will bring \u2018tweaks to the interface,\u2019 per report<\/p>\n Over the weekend, Mark Gurman\u2019s Power On newsletter offered an update on iOS 27 development.<\/p>\n After mentioning AI and bug fixes as big priorities for Apple, Gurman added<\/a>:<\/p>\n Apple also is planning some tweaks to the interface, though nothing as extensive as last year\u2019s Liquid Glass introduction.<\/p>\n While I don\u2019t think anyone was expecting UI updates as significant as iOS 26 brought, the presence of interface changes in iOS 27 is interesting nonetheless.<\/p>\n The way iOS looks and works does typically change in small ways from year to year. So change alone isn\u2019t a rarity.<\/p>\n However, whatever \u201ctweaks\u201d iOS 27 makes to Liquid Glass and the rest of the iPhone UI will be important for one reason: they\u2019ll be the first notable changes since a major design leadership shakeup.<\/p>\n iOS 27: The first showcase for Apple\u2019s new design leader<\/p>\n Last December, it was reported<\/a> that Apple\u2019s VP of Human Interface Design, Alan Dye, was leaving the company for Meta. <\/p>\n Steve Lemay, a 26-year Apple veteran, has taken the mantle of design leadership.<\/p>\n CEO Tim Cook said: \u201cSteve Lemay has played a key role in the design of every major Apple interface since 1999. He has always set an extraordinarily high bar for excellence and embodies Apple\u2019s culture of collaboration and creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n Early reporting<\/a> said there was celebration within Apple concerning the change.<\/p>\n And iOS 27 will be the first big chance we\u2019ll have to see Lemay\u2019s expanded influence at work.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a fan of Liquid Glass overall, but there are small fixes I\u2019d love to see applied. My issues tend to involve form harming function. For example:<\/p>\n tab bars disappearing upon scroll<\/p>\n playback bars in Music and Podcasts hiding key controls<\/p>\n Whatever interface tweaks are coming, they\u2019ll likely reveal where Lemay\u2019s priorities differ from the former design head. <\/p>\n And based on Lemay\u2019s history, and endorsements I\u2019ve seen<\/a> from other Apple designers, I\u2019m excited for what iOS 27 may bring.<\/p>\n What Liquid Glass changes do you want to see in iOS 27?
