| iOS 26 Brings Futuristic Glass-Inspired Interface: Apple’s Biggest Redesign Since iOS 7. |
Apple is gearing up to make waves in the tech world once again with the release of its latest operating system — iOS 26. Ahead of the much-anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC25) set for June 9, Bloomberg has revealed major details about what users can expect. And this update isn’t just another tweak — it's being called the most significant visual overhaul since iOS 7 back in 2013.
A “Digital Glass” Design That Feels Light and Elegant
The most eye-catching change? Apple is introducing a brand-new look called “digital glass.” This design language emphasizes transparency, light effects, and modern aesthetics. Everything from app icons to toolbars and navigation tabs is getting a complete facelift.
Imagine menus and icons that feel like they float on screen — soft, sleek, and ultra-modern. Even pop-up menus are redesigned to make it easier and faster for users to access more options with a single tap. It’s all about clean visuals and smooth interaction.
Widgets Are Getting a Visual Upgrade
Widgets on both iPhones and iPads will also receive a makeover to match the new glassy theme. While their functionality will remain the same, the visual styling will be refined to fit with the sleek, modern interface. This means your home screen is about to look a lot more futuristic — without sacrificing usability.
Safari Gets a Transparent Makeover
Safari isn’t left behind. The iOS browser will receive a fresh redesign, including a more transparent and “glassy” address bar that blends smoothly with the overall interface. Apple’s goal is to create a browsing experience that feels as lightweight as it looks.
Redesigned Phone App with Optional Layout
Another major change is coming to the Phone app. Favorites, recent calls, and voicemails will now be displayed in one scrollable window, making it easier to manage communications. However, for those who prefer the classic layout, Apple will allow users to switch back to the old design — no pressure to adapt if you don’t want to.
macOS Preview App Comes to iPhone and iPad
This one’s a pleasant surprise: Apple’s Preview app, a longtime staple on macOS, is finally making its way to iPhone and iPad. Users will now be able to handle PDF files more efficiently on mobile — merging files, adding or deleting pages, and making annotations — all from the palm of their hand.
App Icons Remain the Same (For Now)
Despite earlier rumors, Apple won’t be changing its app icon shapes to match the circular design used in Apple Vision Pro. Bloomberg reports that Apple has decided to keep the current app icon shapes, believing they remain functional and recognizable.
Other Exciting New Features
Aside from the visual changes, iOS 26 is packed with exciting updates:
-
A redesigned CarPlay experience that feels smarter and more dynamic.
-
New polling and auto-translation features in the Messages app — perfect for group chats and international conversations.
-
A brand-new Apple Games app, designed as a central hub for mobile gaming fans.
Save the Date: WWDC25 Starts June 9
All of these features will be officially announced during Apple’s keynote presentation at WWDC25, starting June 9 at 8:00 PM Moscow time (midnight on June 10 for Indonesia). If you're an iPhone user or just a fan of Apple’s sleek ecosystem, you definitely won’t want to miss this reveal!
With iOS 26, Apple is doubling down on both beauty and functionality. The new transparent design isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s meant to enhance how users interact with their devices. From a polished Safari to more intuitive app interfaces, the experience is about to feel more immersive than ever.
