But just one year later, iOS 27 has even more design changes for many app icons.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 27 changes app icons again as part of Liquid Glass refinements<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/08\/ios-27-announcement\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unveiled iOS 27<\/a> earlier today, and the developer beta is <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/08\/apple-releases-first-ios-27-beta-1\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">available now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing users will notice upon installing iOS 27 is that many iPhone app icons look noticeably different than before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some users noticed that iOS 26\u2019s icons could appear blurry. But that\u2019s not at all the case with iOS 27\u2019s revisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iOS 27\u2019s new app icons are \u201csharper and more detailed,\u201d per Apple\u2019s description. And it really shows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/app-icons-ios-27-siri.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1055613\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To my eyes, they look like a nice balance between iOS 26\u2019s Liquid Glass looks and the previous iOS 18 versions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see a sampling of the icons above. Changes apply to many of Apple\u2019s own apps, with only a handful of exceptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, app icons in iOS 27 beta 1 no longer have the shimmering effect that iOS 26 introduced when you move your iPhone around. That motion-based effect seems to have been entirely removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/08\/wwdc-2026-news-hub-live-from-apple-park-ios-27-new-siri-more\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Check out our WWDC News Hub<\/a>\u00a0for all the latest announcements from Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Best iPhone accessories<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year with iOS 26, Apple redesigned its full lineup of app icons for iPhone.
