Apple set to bring ‘elements from visionOS’ into the iPhone and iPad interfaces, according to source.
Apple’s newly launched Vision Pro mixed-reality headset is in a curious position, with low sales in the present but (the company hopes) a huge future ahead of it as Cupertino’s pre-eminent computing platform. In this context, it’s understandable that Apple might choose to use the leverage of already dominant platforms like the iPhone to nudge customers towards Vision Pro and get them on board with the visionOS experience.
According to a new report, in fact, Apple plans to do exactly that later this year, when it will redesign the iOS and iPadOS operating systems that run on iPhone and iPad to look and feel more like visionOS.
Israeli news site The Verifier says (converted from the original Hebrew by Chrome’s built-in translator) it “learned a few weeks ago that Apple is working on bringing elements from the visionOS operating system of the Vision Pro glasses into the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 updates.
