Apple prepares for an unprecedented aesthetic change throughout its family of operating systems. Although traditionally the great design novelties have been reserved for iPhone, iPad and Macthis year the story will be different, and in this article we detail how the changes that the boys of Tim Cook will introduce.
According to the renowned journalist Mark Gurman, the Cupertino company intends to extend a New visual identity Much more polished and unified to all its devices, including the Apple Watch and Apple TV. And the best thing is that we will not have to wait long to know all the details, since the WWDC 2025 or World Developer Conference will be held on June 9, and at that time we will know to what extent the user experience that millions of people use daily will change.
New designs at the WWDC 2025
The visual redesign, known among Apple engineers as “Solarium”, will have an interface with more translucent elements And with a more “glassy” appearance, following the steps marked by visionos, the operating system of the Apple Vision Pro. In this way, Apple approaches a more modern and unified aesthetic in all its systems, with the solid and opaque edges, providing a sensation of lightness both visual and functional.
The integration of this new design will not only affect the iPhone with iOS 19 or the iPad with Ipados 19, but also to Watchos 12 and Tvos 19something that the rumors, until now, had said nothing. This approach seeks that the experience between devices be more fluid, regardless of whether you are moving from Apple Watch to your iPad or Apple TV to your iPhone. They want the interface of all devices to look the same, reinforcing the Apple ecosystem with an aesthetic coherence that enhances the feeling of using products that are part of the same digital environment.
In the case of the iPad, the changes seem to go even further. Everything indicates that Ipados 19 will adopt a Macos more similar interfaceespecially when the device connects to a keyboard like the Magic Keyboard. There is even talk of a menus bar superior to the style of the Mac, which could make the iPad finally replace the MacBook effectively. This is a logical step if Apple wants the iPad to cease to be simply a large iPhone and consolidate itself as a real hybrid between tablet and computer.
The most interesting thing is that, despite all the stir that is generating Apple Intelligence, Gurman says that this visual redesign will be precisely what will get the most attention during the conference. And it makes sense, since aesthetic changes are more immediate and more tangible for any user, while AI functions are usually more subtle. Apple seems to have understood that, to generate enthusiasm, few things work better than a redesign that makes your old device feel modern.
For now, we only talk about rumors, but it is true that Mark Gurman is rarely wrong. The WWDC 2025 is less than two weeks and will be a crucial event, not only for the future of Apple software, but for the relationship that its users maintained with the devices.
