Apple WatchOS 12, tvOS, and VisionOS are slated for design revamp. Here’s what we know so far.

Overview

  • Apple's 'Solarium' redesign will standardize a glassy, translucent interface inspired by visionOS across iOS 19, macOS 16, iPadOS 19, watchOS 12, tvOS 19, and visionOS 3.
  • AI-driven tools under 'Project Mulberry' will include a health coach in the Health app and intelligent battery management for iPhones, focusing on user personalization and privacy.
  • iPadOS 19 will introduce enhanced multitasking, window management, and a macOS-style menu bar when used with a keyboard, addressing long-standing productivity demands.
  • Siri's generative AI upgrade remains delayed by one to two years, with Apple planning to integrate Google’s Gemini as an interim solution.
  • Third-party developers will gain access to Apple's large language models (LLMs), enabling broader integration of AI capabilities into apps.
