There are new rumors claiming that iOS 18 will get a redesign, and it’s not just focused on the smartphone experience, but will deliver a look similar to visionOS when it arrives. The great success of Apple’s Vision Pro and mixed reality experiences are said to be the inspiration for further development of Cupertino, including its iOS 18 aspect.
Several iPhone apps are known to be compatible for use on the Vision Pro, sharing the experience with the company’s latest technology.
Apple iOS 18 gets a Redesign similar to visionOS
There have been various reports of iOS 18 getting visionOS-like elements, and a new claim from MacRumors says the upcoming iPhone software will soon see the renowned wearable’s interface. It was leaked by an anonymous source who claimed they got this new information from iOS engineers, a claim that remains questionable.

What to expect from the iOS 18 redesign
Rumors behind iOS 18 claim that there will be a redesign, one that will restore the experience that followed from iOS 7 and then restore it in further releases like iOS 14 and iOS 16. The same app is coming for the Apple TV app on iPadOS 18, the report says, and other apps will also see a redesign like the system menu, built-in apps, Safari, and more.
Apple and its iOS 18
Touted as the “biggest update” to come to iOS, Apple’s next-generation iPhone operating system is shaping up to deliver massive experiences according to analysts, leaks and rumors. One of the biggest changes coming is the arrival of generative AI features to the operating system, which allow iPhone to deliver the hottest technology in the world with iOS 18.
It would be the first time generative AI would come to the iPhone outside of the apps available to deliver the experience, with iOS 18 set to massively update with AI features. For one, it will see a revamp for Siri, Apple’s AI chatbot, which will feature generative AI capabilities, alongside Apple Music-generated playlists and a prominent photo editor that offers machine learning technology.
This year’s iOS update is one of the most anticipated in years, and not only will it bring new features, but it’s also rumored to include new experiences that have changed the way people have used technology for a long time. The huge rumored change is a redesign that would focus more on what visionOS has to offer, and despite only featuring a small aspect, it will make a great addition to iPhones.
