Apple is continuing to work on refreshing the interface of iOS 18, with macOS to come, but they won’t look like the new visionOS interface.
Apple’s annual operating system updates usually incorporate some tweaks to the interfaces, but bigger changes are on the way. For iOS 18 and a future macOS release, there will be quite a few design alterations.
At the same time, Apple is also overhauling the interfaces of macOS. However, since work has only really started fairly recently, the changes won’t be released until 2025 or 2026.
As for what kind of design changes to expect, Gurman warns that it probably won’t involve any of the UI elements incorporated into Apple’s newest operating system, visionOS. Using glass textures and 3D buttons, the aesthetic is said to be specifically meant for visionOS alone, since it is meant to work with passthrough video.
