(Image credit - Apple) Apple’s new software updates announced during the WWDC 2025 opening keynote have stirred up some serious reactions, and not just from fans. Samsung, one of Apple’s biggest rivals, didn’t waste time throwing shade at the tech giant’s latest design choices, especially the much-hyped Liquid Glass aesthetic. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung poked fun at Apple’s iOS 26 design, which features a shiny new UI with translucent elements. The South Korean brand pointed out how familiar it all looked, suggesting that Apple’s design strongly resembles its upcoming One UI 7. While both may have different technical approaches, visually, they do look quite alike. “Customizable apps? Floating bars? That sleek glass UI? Looks… familiar 🤔,” read a cheeky post from Samsung Mobile US. Customizable apps? Floating bars? That sleek glass UI? Looks… familiar 🤔 — Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS) June 9, 2025 Many users have also pointed out that Apple’s new UI feels similar to Windows Vista’s old Aero interface, which had the same light-refracting, glass-like visuals. In fact, the updated app icons in iOS 26 and macOS 26 are being criticised for making it harder to identify apps or read labels clearly. Samsung didn’t stop at visuals. It also took jabs at Apple’s slower rollout of AI features. While Apple only lightly touched on AI during its WWDC keynote mentioning Siri just twice, Samsung made sure to highlight how far ahead Galaxy AI already is. “New to live translations? Welcome aboard! We’ve been translating text and speech in real-time for a while now… #GalaxyAI,” and “AI is coming to your watch? Cute. Ours already knows when you’re too tired to care 😴 #GalaxyAI,” read two more sarcastic posts from Samsung. New to live translations? Welcome aboard!

Ours already knows when you’re too tired to care 😴 #GalaxyAI — Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS) June 9, 2025 Meanwhile, Apple’s macOS 26, officially called macOS Tahoe, also caught flak for reminding people of Windows Vista. According to Windows Latest, Apple’s new design, described as being “crafted with Liquid Glass,” shares several similarities with Microsoft’s old Aero Glass UI, which allowed users to “see through” interface elements. Both designs use soft tints, layered depth and colour-based transparency effects. As of now, Apple seems to be taking a more cautious, privacy-first approach to AI and design changes. But in doing so, it’s given competitors like Samsung plenty of room to mock and claim they did it all first. FAQs Q1. Why is Samsung criticising Apple’s new Liquid Glass UI? Answer.
