Is Originos 6 Vivo Copy of iOS 26 a clever strategy?

Vivo unveils its latest version of its Originos 6 interface, which has been fully copied from Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language introduced on iOS 26. The similarities between the two operating systems are so obvious that it looks beyond a simple inspiration and covers almost all aspects of the visual icons and matte glass coatings to the floating dock and dynamic wallpapers.

Although Vivo has emphasized concepts such as smoothness and effortless movement, it cannot be ignored in the introduction of this operating system, especially in the Lock Screen or Lock Screen. This once again reflects the deep influence of Apple’s design philosophy on the entire mobile industry, even though the Liquid Glass design has been criticized after the release due to some practical problems.

The similarities between the two operating systems are also evident in technical details. Originos 6 uses the same semi -blaming effect that Apple has used widgets and menus throughout iOS 26. Soft and corner icons that have been signed by Apple’s interface are almost completely reproduced in the latest Vivo software product.

In addition, the float dock and the interface layers that induce delicate shades to feel the depth and illusion of glass are jointly seen on both platforms. Even moving background images that react to light and motion and give the visual fluidity display are another feature.

The Vivo Recrected Control Center with fast access buttons and sliders also have an undeniable similarity to Apple’s Control Center in terms of transparency and color gradients, and this copying on the lock screen and its customization options peak.

This approach raises serious questions about the boundary between inspiration and imitation in the competitive smartphone industry. While companies usually borrow and improve each other’s ideas, the similarity between iOS 26 and Originos 6 has exceeded a surface modeling. This raises the question of whether this is a natural convergence in design trends or a deliberate effort by Vivo to exploit Apple’s new visual appeal.

For Vivo, this can be a strategic decision to improve the quality of its devices. However, such an approach also takes the great risk that if these changes are not accompanied by meaningful and functional innovations in the lower layers, the company will be accused of lack of authenticity, and will eventually determine whether this bold Vivo move will initiate a major change in the visual identity of the mobile industry.
