Experience the New 'Liquid Glass' Design on iPad

This year's official wallpaper is the perfect introduction to iPadOS 26's new 'Liquid Glass' design philosophy. It's more than just a background; it's your first look at the translucent, refractive new aesthetic that gives the entire iPad experience a more expressive and delightful feel.

The design masterfully evokes the new 'Liquid Glass' aesthetic. It features abstract, overlapping shapes in serene shades of deep cobalt blue and a vibrant aqua-green against a soft, lighter blue background. The elements have a textured, frosted glass look that creates a realistic sense of depth. Subtle shadows really make the shapes pop with a 3D effect, giving the wallpaper a clean and modern feel. This wallpaper is designed to perfectly complement the new powerful windowing system and redesigned apps in iPadOS 26.
