- Apple’s new inves -App has an interesting interface -design
- It is more like Visionos -Apps than those made for iOS
- It might be a tip for iOS 19’s upcoming design reconsider
Occasionally, we get a sneak peek at what Apple has planned in its future devices, and it seems to have happened to the recent launch of the company’s new invite app. Because far from being a simple party planning app, Kledse Lights invites the kind of design we could end up seeing in iOS 19.
Open invitations and the first thing you will notice is how much it has in common with apps made for Apple’s Vision Pro headset. As Apple enthusiast Parker Ortolani has noticed, the app’s glassy, floating boxes and colorful backgrounds are very similar to what you find when using Vision Pro.
In contrast to most other Apple apps, it is a more well -known design language that has been present in iOS for years. With the Visionos Operating System running on Vision Pro – Apple changed things and it seems to have translated into invitations.
Interestingly, this is not the first time we have seen an Apple app take a new direction regarding the user interface. Ortolani pointed out that Apple’s recently launched Sports app was also a departure from the traditional Designnetthos we are used to seeing. And a recent leak of what is claimed to be a new look for the camera app in iOS 19 shows a similar way inspired by Vision Pro.
Reads the tea leaves
With the company’s two latest apps, both taking a trip from the design principles of previous Apple apps, does that mean something new is on the horizon? It seems to be Ortholani’s faith, at least. If Apple starts following the Vision Pro’s lead when it comes to AppDesign, this may be a shift when iOS 19 is previewed in the summer at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
The last time we saw a significant app design change was when iOS 7 was launched in 2013. When it happened, Apple ditched the skeuomorphism that defined its previous design philosophy and adopted a much flatter look for both the operating system and its apps.
It’s been over a decade since the big change, so it may well be time for another design that is reconsidering. And if Apple’s latest apps appear to change closer to those found in Visionos, we might see a much bigger overhaul when iOS 19 is revealed to the world.
Ultimately, it makes sense to make sure its apps share a common design language for Apple, as it means its users can find well -known elements and systems, no matter what device they use. And if that is the goal, it is possible that Apple’s other devices – from Apple Watch to Mac – could end up going the same way.
