Apple is preparing a significant redesign of its software, which will bring a fresh look to the operating systems of the iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The update, expected later this year, will introduce changes to icons, menus, apps, windows and system buttons, drawing inspiration from the Vision Pro mixed-reality headset. Sources familiar with the project say the goal is to make Apple's various operating systems more visually consistent.

The company is also focusing on simplifying how users navigate and control their devices. The changes are part of Apple's broader effort to enhance its product appeal, following the recent launch of new iPad Air and MacBook Air models with AI features.

The update is expected to make interacting with Apple devices more intuitive and streamlined.

Apple plans to showcase the redesigned software at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The overhaul marks one of the most significant visual updates in years, reflecting Apple's push to refine its ecosystem and create a seamless user experience across its devices.
