with iOS 26, MacOS 26, Tvos 26 and Watchos 26, Apple plans to debut in a new design, which was described as inspiration from Visionos, the latest operating system. In the near future, when the WWDC appears, we thought that we would look at Visionos and some details of the design that Apple can accept on the basis of current rumors and leaked information. Transparency
inside Apple, The & Zwnj; iOS 26 & zwnj; The Redizin project is known as “Solarium”, which gives us some idea of the Apple focus. The solarium is mainly a glass room that is designed to let in a lot of light. Productive design elements in Visionos are better mixed with a background for an unobtrusive look, allowing color and light from the real world. It is easy to imagine how this type of translucent design will work well in such applications as photographs that we have already seen the layout.
2. The floating navigation rods and the menu
floating menu and navigation rods go along with transparency. In Visions, everything essentially swims in the open space around you, regardless of whether you look at your environment through a passage camera or against the background of virtual reality. /> Visionos has many highly enriched tool panels, not the lower rods, so it is possible that we will also see how iOS changes.
3. Rounded buttons and interface elements
IOS already has rounded squares and rounded rectangles for badges, notifications, menu inside applications, search databases and all interfaces in the card style that we are used to, but Visionos still twist. Swimming navigation rods in iOS can be in the form of tablets with more sharply rounded edges. & zwnj; iOS 26 & zwnj; Maybe, in general, more closely, respectively, corresponds to some forms of Visionos. Leader John Proser claimed that there would be an option for round applications, but it is unclear if Apple would want in this direction for iOS, because Android has long been using round application icons. The famous Squircle was one of many design functions that distinguish Android iOS.
4. Glassy look
with its transparency, the Visionos interface may look almost like uterine glass. The design of the Apple WWDC 2025 is equipped with a rainbow made of matte glass with displacing pastel colors, which may be a hint of plans for the use of matte, sea glass, which is not too far from what we have already received in Visionos.
Visionos actually uses the material developed by the system, which Apple calls glass for applications. It allows light, virtual content and objects surrounded through the menu and windows. Glass adapts to the color of the background and provides contrast to maintaining applications, and also takes into account the physical environment of people. Apple can use a similar material design in & zwnj; iOS 26 & zwnj;.
5. The subtle changes in the lighting of Visionos windows also throw shadows that respond to the movements of the head. This is not what is translated into iOS, but the effects of lighting and shadows that change when you move your & zwnj; iPhone & zwnj; This is an opportunity. In fact, Prosser claims that when moving & zwnj; iPhone & zwnj; Simplicity
for the most part, Visionos has a simplified design in Apple applications, with an air sensation of the distance necessary to ensure that people have enough space to look at the button to interact with it. & zwnj; iOS 26 & zwnj; It can take flowing navigation and menu elements for a less clutter image. Bloomberg Mark Gurman. He says & zwnj; iOS 26 & zwnj; It will be “easier to use, faster for navigation and easier to learn.” This is revised. Visual changes and changes in the menu, buttons and navigation will also apply to & zwnj; MacOS 26 & ZWNJ; And, of course, the iPados 26. Watchos 26 and Tvos 26 will also see designer updates to expand updated views of the third application.
WWDC's debut
The new design that we have heard about so much is designed to be released at the WWDC key event on Monday, June 9th. It begins at 10:00 in the morning, and while Apple lives in it, if you can’t see, you can monitor macrumors.com or on our Macrumorslive X account. Apple will provide developers with new updates to the operating system with a redesign after the main report, and public beta version will follow in July. & zwnj; iOS 26 & zwnj; And his nursing updates will be launched for the public in September.
