WWDC 2025 Logo Hints at iOS 19's New Design

Apple today announced that WWDC 2025 starts June 9, and the logo for the conference hints at iOS 19's rumored new design.

Multiple sources have claimed that iOS 19 will feature a new design that is inspired by visionOS, the software platform for Apple's Vision Pro headset. The new design is expected to include more translucent buttons and menus, with a glass-like appearance. The "25" in this year's WWDC logo also has a subtle visionOS-like appearance.

iPadOS 19 and macOS 16 are also expected to have visionOS-like designs, which would make Apple's software platforms look more uniform.

In January, the YouTube channel Front Page Tech shared a render of a redesigned Camera app that is allegedly planned for iOS 19.

According to Front Page Tech host Jon Prosser, the Camera app will have more translucent buttons and menus, along with a larger viewfinder.

Earlier this month, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the visionOS-like design changes will extend to other interfaces on iOS 19, meaning that the new look with more transparency will likely extend to other Apple apps, notifications, and more.

Gurman believes that iOS 19 will have the most significant design changes since iOS 7.

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 19 during the WWDC 2025 keynote on June 9, so we should get an official look at the new design in a few more months.

Is this like Apple is buying time by updating the cosmetics while they’re thinking what to do with apple intelligence under the hood? Usually, UI changes will produce more glitches and slower than the old one.

I welcome the return of a bit of skeumorphism!

Not to mention it looks like it is trying to appeal to a certain part of population yet again

What part of the population is that? The part that likes colours?

And it looks far better than modern Windows. Windows 8 was a massive step backward.

I never had problem with Windows Vista before. I still remember running Windows Vista during my university years. Windows Vista runs like charm if you have correct hardwares

Windows 11 brought some transparencies back. At least Microsoft did add back some glass effects on Windows 11. In someway, I found myself like Windows 11 UI better than macOS.

Windows 11 UI ‘borrows’ a lot from MacOS. Those who think Apple is copying Microsoft might want to see what’s happening the other way around.
