iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 will have a font similar to that of the Apple Watch for all texts displayed in the interface of the operating system, a source from within the Apple company confirmed this information today. iOS 9 with the code name Monarch and OS X 10.11 with the code name Gala will have the Helvetica Neue font replaced by the San Francisco font, created by the Apple company, in an attempt to provide an important image change for the Cupertino product .
The new font for iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 makes reading information much easier, it was presented for the first time in the Apple Watch in September last year, Apple keeping it for the final version of the watch. Apple developed the San Francisco font especially for the Apple Watch with the idea of making the texts easier to read on the screen, but now iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 will benefit from it starting from the fall of this year.
Apple is currently planning to use the new system font developed for the Apple Watch to refresh the looks of iPads, iPhones, and Macs running iOS 9 "Monarch" and OS X 10.11 "Gala," according to sources with knowledge of the preparations. Current plans call for the Apple-designed San Francisco font to replace Helvetica Neue, which came to iOS 7 in 2013 and OS X Yosemite just last year, beginning with a June debut at WWDC...
iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 will have the San Francisco font
In the image above you can see how it looks the San Francisco font applied over the interface of the iOS operating system, some users already managing to install it in OS X Yosemite, as you can see in the image below. Apple has been harshly criticized in the past for using the Helvetica Neue font because it makes reading texts difficult, and in iOS 9 it seems willing to change things for the better for us.
Although some Apple engineers are not so enthusiastic about the change, the management of the company considers it beneficial, believing that it can provide an element of novelty for iOS 9. In order to be able to implement the San Francisco font in iOS 9 and OS X Yosemite, the company Apple was forced to modify all the native applications of its operating systems, they being checked by engineers to ensure the maintenance of functionality.
Although for now it is not known for sure whether the font will be maintained or not for iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, some developers have started to modify their applications in view of the change that Apple could ask for in the fall.
IOS launch 9
According to all the information we know so far, but also the way in which Apple has thought about releases in the past, iOS 9 will be made available to us in the first beta version on June 8, during WWDC 2015. After 3 months of testing, Apple will release iOS 9 in the fall of this year, more precisely in September, when all users around the world will be able to install the operating system.
