The original version of the dock, found in Mac OS X Public Beta to 10.0, presents a flat white translucent interface with the Aqua styled pinstripes. The dock found in Mac OS X 10.1 to 10.4 removes the pinstripes, but otherwise is identical. Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.7 presents the applications on a three-dimensional glassy surface from a perspective instead of the traditional flat one, resembling [[Sun Microsystems]]' [[Project Looking Glass]] application dock.<ref>[https://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/leopard-dock-resembles-suns-project-looking-glass/ Leopard dock resembles Sun's Project Looking Glass? - Engadget<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> OS X 10.8 to 10.9 changes the look to resemble frosted glass with rounded corners. OS X 10.10 and later revert to a two-dimensional appearance, similar to Mac OS X 10.4, although more translucent and with a iOS 7 blur effect. In [[macOS Big Sur]] and later, the Dock remains two-dimensional, but has a more circular look.

In iPhone OS 1 to 3, the dock used a metal look which looks similar to the front of the [[Power Mac G5]] (2003-2005) and [[Mac Pro]] (2006-2012 or 2019-). iPhone OS 3.2 for iPad and iOS 4 to 6 adopted the dock design from Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.7 which was used until iOS 7, which uses a similar dock from Mac OS X Tiger but with iOS 7 styled blur effects.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}} In [[iOS 11]], the dock for the [[iPad]] and iPhone X is redesigned to more resemble the macOS dock.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/05/ios-11-brings-drag-and-drop-windows-and-a-file-system-to-ipad/|title=iOS 11 brings drag-and-drop, windows and a file system to iPad {{!}} TechCrunch|last=Tepper|first=Fitz|access-date=2017-08-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/5/15732156/apple-ipad-pro-update-multitasking-wwdc-2017|title=iPad gets overhauled multitasking and other major software updates in iOS 11|last=Gartenberg|first=Chaim|date=2017-06-05|website=The Verge|access-date=2017-08-08}}</ref>
