The update, which will be released with iOS19, iPadOS 19 , and macOS 16 , will revamp icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons while simplifying navigation and control, the report says. The new design is reportedly loosely based on VisionOS , the operating system for Apple's VisionPro VR headset , which uses circular icons and translucent panels for navigation.
