According to Bloomberg, Apple is planning significant design changes to its major applications, including Phone, Camera and Safari, which it will announce at the WWDC conference next week. In the Phone app, Apple will reportedly add a new view that will combine your favorite contacts, recent calls, and voicemail into a “single, scrollable window.”
Bloomberg notes that this new view will be optional, and that users will be able to return to the old layout using a switch in the Phone app. The design changes are part of broader visionOS-inspired changes Apple is expected to make to its operating systems, which will reportedly now be called iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26.
In line with the “digital glass” elements that Bloomberg says Apple will introduce to its operating systems, the publication reports that Safari will get a “more transparent and glassy address bar.” The company is also reportedly planning to simplify the Camera app, as hinted at earlier this year by YouTuber Jon Prosser. As previously reported by 9to5Mac, Apple may also add support for polls in Messages, as well as the ability to set background images that sync between devices – similar to WhatsApp.
Other changes mentioned by Bloomberg include an extension of the Preview app for Mac to iPadOS and iOS, which will allow users to open and comment on PDFs on their mobile devices. Bloomberg also shared details about Apple’s rumored Games app, which may include Home, Arcade, Play Together, Library, and Search tabs. Despite rumors that Apple is planning to change the shape of its app icons, Bloomberg reports that they will “mostly” remain the same.
