Forget iOS 19 and stay with this name: iOS 26. This is the beginning of a new stage. The protagonist operating system of the WWDC 2025 that Apple is celebrating in Cupertino is that of the iPhone, and drinks directly from an interface we already knew: The Vision Pro. Apple’s most niche device is the one that will mark the way for the rest of the products. Some that, in this new stage, will have a name and A unified design language.
Why iOS 26. The logical jump after iOS 18 It was iOS 19, that’s over. Apple will begin to rename its software platforms by adding a +1 a year in which they are launched. We are in the year (20) 25, adding that one we already have the 26.
It is the name that the rest of their brothers will receive: Visionos 26, Watchos 26, Tvos 26 and Ipados 26. Next year, we will have versions 27 above the table. A name change that meets a concrete need of Apple: to try to make its operating systems to the fullest.
Liquid Glass. The first novelty of iOS 26 has to do with its change at aesthetic level. Apple has been inspired by visionos to share its design language with the rest of the software platforms. And he has decided to call him Liquid Glass. The translation is simple: a system starring transparencies, rounded icons and even softer animations.
The changes range from the application pitcher to the apps themselves, a work that the developers will have to begin to adapt to maintain coherence with the renewed system.
News at Apple Intelligence. Apple wanted to start (in a very short way) its Keynote with news in its artificial intelligence functions. A good part of them, not yet available in Europe. Among them, The new Siri.
One of the big changes is how applications will interact with Apple Intelligence. Developers can configure their apps to directly access Apple Intelligence, privately and even without connection.
