Apple Inc. is set to launch a sweeping software update later this year that will refresh the look and feel of its operating systems across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, according to Bloomberg News.
iting people familiar with the effort, the report said the revamp—loosely based on the software behind Apple’s mixed-reality headset, Vision Pro—will introduce a style update for icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons.
The overhaul comes just a week after Apple unveiled a new iPad Air and MacBook Air featuring enhanced artificial intelligence capabilities, as the tech giant aims to simplify the way users navigate and control their devices. The update is expected to streamline the user interface across different platforms, making them look more consistent and intuitive.
Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the planned changes. However, the company is anticipated to highlight the new software during its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, where a key goal will be to unify the aesthetics and functionality of its various operating systems.
As Apple continues to evolve its product ecosystem, industry analysts view this update as part of a broader strategy to bolster device appeal and enhance user experience in an increasingly competitive market.
