Rumors surrounding Apple’s iOS 26 suggest a potential redesign influenced by VisionOS, incorporating transparent textures and circular icons. Speculation includes a shift from traditional version names to a year-based system, potentially revitalizing user interest after the disappointment of the iOS 16 launch. The internal environment at Apple appears charged, with the failure of significant features in Apple Intelligence raising concerns among teams. Fans eagerly search for clues in beta releases, highlighting their anticipation for the updates to iOS's design.
Fans have been searching for hints of the future of Apple's iOS design language in beta updates over the last year, but this might be one of the most legitimate examples we've seen.
If rumours are to be believed, Apple could be switching to a year-based naming convention this year. But is that enough to make the iPhone feel exciting again after last year's underwhelming iOS 16 launch?
Rumour has it we're in store for a VisionOS-inspired redesign. Think transparent object and glassy textures, and perhaps even circular icons.
The situation is apparently so dire that it's causing internal tension at Apple.
