iOS 18 expected to integrate visionOS-inspired design features, rumor suggests

According to a recent rumor from Israeli website The Verifier, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 are rumored to adopt design elements inspired by visionOS, the operating system powering Apple's new Vision Pro headset.

The report indicates that iOS 18 will introduce design changes akin to those seen in the Apple TV app on iPadOS 18, featuring a translucent navigation bar reminiscent of tvOS 17.2.

While this rumor is met with skepticism due to The Verifier's varied track record in Apple rumors, users can anticipate Apple's official unveiling of iOS 18 at the annual WWDC developer conference in June. Following the announcement, the first beta version is expected to be available shortly afterward, with a full release scheduled for September alongside the debut of the iPhone 16 lineup.
