Liquid glass is NOT transparent shapes/Windows Vista. It is a unique (not original) approach to UI design system.
I included this specific picture with my post because it is a great example of what makes liquid glass different than Hollywood Sci-Fi and even Windows Vista. In real time, images and video behind liquid glass bends and refracts as if a curved piece of glass was sitting on top of your image. The way the image behind warps and bends into the edges of the UX is called the lensing effect.
Why is this important? Not only is it a realistic effect, it is a technical feat that requires complex computations (shaders) and uses your GPU to process. It's the same tech that video games use to render your cinematic cutscenes and realistic waterfalls in Witcher 3. This is aided by Apple's custom silicon that combines a CPU and GPU to do this without any lag or performance hit elsewhere.
It is simply not something a competitor can copy. Not Google. Not Xiaomi. Not Samsung. It needs an M-chip and Apple's OS to produce. In a world where copycats are getting better and better, Apple has found a way to stand out from the competitors. You can copy the phone shape, the camera specs, but its UI cannot be copied. Attempts will look like Windows Vista.
