Apple‘s macOS Tahoe came with a new, Liquid Glass-infused design when it launched last September, but not all of it worked as well as it does on the iPhone and iPad.
Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claims Apple is about to make some design changes in the upcoming macOS 27 to address some of the most glaring issues.

The new macOS 27 won’t be a complete overhaul of Tahoe; internally, Gurman’s sources are talking about a “slight redesign,” and the Liquid Glass design language will remain a big part of the new OS.

Mostly, these will be small tweaks that make certain parts of the user interface more legible and less confusing. The report doesn’t offer many details about what, exactly, is about to change, but it does mention the legibility issues in Tahoe’s Control Center, Finder, as well as apps with sidebars and dense lists.
Furthermore, the advent of MacBooks with OLED displays (current Macs all have LCD displays) should further improve the look of the Liquid Glass interfaces in macOS. Apple is expected to launch several MacBooks with OLED displays over the next year or so.
Gurman also said that macOS 27 should bring bug fixes, battery life upgrades, and performance improvements, as well as more AI features, mostly reflected in Apple’s smart assistant Siri.
Apple is expected to unveil macOS 27 during its WWDC conference, which kicks off on June 8 this year.
