Apple plans to significantly redesign the look of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS later this year, Bloomberg reports.
The changes, which are set to arrive with iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16, will touch many parts of the operating systems, including “updating the style of icons, menus, apps, windows and system buttons,” Bloomberg says. The updates are also intended to simplify how people use Apple devices and make things more consistent across its software. The new design apparently takes some inspiration from the Vision Pro’s visionOS.
Bloomberg says the design updates will be the biggest for the Mac since macOS Big Sur and the biggest for iOS since iOS 7. However, Bloomberg notes that Apple isn’t going to merge its operating systems.
Apple is expected to announce the changes at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which typically happens in June. It hasn’t announced a date for this year’s show.
The company didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
