Sketchy Rumor Says iOS 18 Will Have visionOS-Inspired Design Changes
iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 will feature visionOS-inspired design elements, according to a rumor shared this week by Israeli website The Verifier.
For example, the report claims that the Apple TV app on iPadOS 18 will feature the same translucent navigation bar that was introduced in the tvOS 17.2 version of the app last year. The design of this menu draws similarities to visionOS, the operating system that runs on Apple's new Vision Pro headset, which launched in the U.S. last week.
Apple also plans to redesign various other system menus and built-in apps on iOS 18, including Safari, according to the report.
