Apple’s next set of major updates for the iPhone, iPad and Mac operating systems could bring the biggest design changes across the company’s platforms in years, Bloomberg reported, citing anonymous sources.
The revamp, set to come in with iOS19, iPadOS 19 and macOS 16, will refresh icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons while simplifing navigation and control, the report said. The new design is reportedly loosely based on VisionOS, the operating system for Apple’s VisionPro VR headset, which uses circular icons and translucent panels for navigation.
The changes, said to be a major focus for the software and UI teams in Apple’s design department, are being overseen by Apple’s VP of human interface design Alan Dye, Bloomberg said.
The company will first show off iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June, the report said.
