So, here's what’s going on — Apple is about to shake things up in a big way with their software. And not just a small change like moving icons around. We're talking about a proper redesign across almost all their platforms — iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and even the Vision Pro stuff. This update is expected to drop during their big WWDC event in June. Honestly, it sounds like one of the biggest visual changes since iOS 7.
What’s interesting is, they’re kind of going for a cleaner, more modern vibe. Think more glassy elements, some of that see-through style, smoother navigation... like something inspired by their newer VisionOS design. It’s like they’re trying to make all the Apple devices feel more connected — visually and functionally.
iOS 19 Might Actually Look and Feel New This Time
So with iOS 19, Apple isn’t just changing small things like fonts or new wallpapers. This time, they’re going pretty deep. The way apps are laid out, the icons, the animations — all of it is being rethought. People who’ve seen it say it feels a bit like VisionOS (you know, that futuristic headset interface), but still familiar for phone users.
-
The goal is to make it simpler to use, especially for folks who don’t want to keep figuring out new gestures.
-
You might notice more smooth transitions, cleaner layouts, and a kind of visual calmness.
-
It’s not just “fancier” — it might actually be easier to use, especially if you’re not super techy.
Some are excited, others are nervous — you know how people get when Apple changes stuff. But from what we’re hearing, it seems like a step forward. It’s been a while since iOS actually felt new in a meaningful way.
Big Changes Are Coming to Apple Watch and Apple TV Too
Let’s be real, watchOS and tvOS haven’t changed much in years. Most of us don’t even think about their updates unless something breaks. But now, Apple seems ready to fix that. Both watchOS and tvOS are getting redesigned too. Like, properly redesigned — not just new faces or app layouts.
For Apple Watch:
-
Expect cleaner, easier-to-read screens.
-
Better app flow so you’re not lost in tiny menus.
-
A more modern design, in line with iPhone/iPad style.
And for Apple TV (finally):
-
The UI’s going to match the rest of Apple’s world.
-
They might simplify how content is shown — so it feels less like flipping through an old DVD menu.
-
Honestly, it’s been due for a refresh since forever, so this is welcome.
The idea here is not just to make things look cooler — it’s to create a consistent feel across all your Apple gadgets. Like, using one should feel like using any of the others. Less confusion, more flow.
Even Vision Pro’s visionOS is Getting Tweaked
Even though VisionOS is super new (and still only a few people have tried it), Apple’s not leaving it out. There’s talk that it’ll also get some design updates — probably small ones — to make sure it fits into this new “look” Apple’s aiming for.
They’re not starting from scratch there, of course. But since Vision Pro is kind of the future-facing part of Apple’s lineup, it makes sense they’d want all their stuff to line up with it. It’s like they’re setting a base design language now and making sure it stretches across everything — phones, watches, TVs, and even the headset.
WWDC 2025 is the Big Reveal — So Now We Wait
All these updates — iOS 19, watchOS, tvOS, macOS, and even VisionOS — are expected to be officially revealed at Apple’s WWDC event starting June 9. If you’re the kind of person who cares about how your devices look and feel, this is the event to keep an eye on.
To be honest, we don’t know exactly how everything will turn out. Apple’s been quiet (as usual), and we’re mostly hearing these details through reliable insiders. But the signs are clear — something big is coming. Whether you’re pumped or nervous about it, one thing’s for sure: Apple’s finally changing things up again.
