Samsung mocks Apple’s Liquid Glass design language, says it did it first in One UI 7, users also point that macOS Tahoe copied Windows Vista.
Apple unveiled its new Liquid Glass redesign for its entire product line, and to be fair, the updates are quite significant, not just when it comes to looks but functionality as well. While the design of iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 is pretty neat that takes into account different layers of digital glass that refract light differently, it would be unfair to point out that Windows did it first. Moreover, Samsung wasted no time in reminding Apple that it, too, had already used glass in its UI.Apple’s Liquid Glass UI for iOS 26, macOS Tahoe faces Samsung, Windows jabs over design originality, AI features
Samsung has always stood on top when it comes to poking Apple for its design, whether its hardware or software, and iOS 26 is no exception. The Cupertino tech giant calls its new ‚Liquid Glass‘ UI design language ‚expressive‘, which sounds a bit too familiar, as Google recently announced the Material 3 Expressive design for Android 16, which kind of follows the same glass approach. Samsung was quick to notice and posted its insights mockingly on X.
The South Korean giant first poked fun at the „sleek glass UI“ of iOS 26 by referencing its own One UI 7 redesign.
