What is Solarium? Everything we know about Apple's major UI overhaul at WWDC
Briefly

Apple is preparing to launch a significant visual redesign of its mobile operating systems, dubbed 'Solarium', aimed at providing a consistent aesthetic across all its devices. This overhaul, reported by Bloomberg, is set to mark the largest transformation since iOS 7, which moved towards a flat design. Key changes will include updated icons, menus, and a glass-like translucency, enhancing the user interface. Apple plans to unveil these updates during WWDC 2025, showcasing a unified design vision that extends from iPhone to Vision Pro and beyond.
If the rumors are true, Apple is working on its biggest visual overhaul to its mobile operating system since iOS 7, which famously ditched skeuomorphic features in favor of flat design.
According to Bloomberg, Apple aims to roll out a consistent appearance across its operating systems -- from the iPhone to Vision Pro -- and will use WWDC 2025 today to reveal this big update.
Mark Gurman first reported in March that iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and MacOS 16 will receive new designs, including more translucency for a glass-like appearance.
Solarium seems to be about lightness and semitransparency -- and it'll be applied across all of Apple's hardware, marking its biggest UI revamp in over a decade.
