- Big changes come to watchos and tvos
- They apparently will match updates to iOS and macOS
- Expect an official disclosure on June 9 at WWDC
We now know Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) for 2025 is underway on Monday, June 9, and now we’ve got more of an idea of the software updates that are likely to be announced on the showcase this year.
According to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, Apple will introduce a major interface update to Watchos 12 and TVOS 19 – as well as iOS 19 and MacOS 16 – which is partly inspired by Visionos Software’s appearance on the Apple Vision Pro.
While iOS 19 and MacOS 16 are likely to attract more of the headlines, Gurman told us already back in March that these operating systems received a revision with regard to their design. Now Apple Watches and Apple TVs are added to the list.
The new look for Apple’s software is apparently known as ‘solarium’ internally, which refers to the glass rooms that lets lots of sunlight, and it is said to be ‘slicker and more modern’ in terms of its appearance than the current software.
A ‘broadly felt’ overhaul
We don’t get much in the way of details here, and Gurman hasn’t provided any screens of what the software limit surface updates can look like, but it’s fair to say that the Visionos Platform has a clean and elegant look that works well.
Even if the Apple Vision Pro has not exactly broken any sales registers, its software is intuitive and user -friendly, and apparently Apple is eager to expand the look over all its other devices for the rest of the year.
The company usually stays to the same schedule every 12 months: A magnificent disclosure at WWDC, followed by several months of beta testing before the software is pushed out to everyone (usually in September for iOS and Watchos).
“While iOS 7 in 2013 was the biggest visual change ever to iPhone’s software, the latest overhaul will become much more widespread,” says Gurman. Of course, we will bring you all the big messages and news from WWDC as it will happen next month.
