Apple is preparing to breathe new life into the iOS and iPadOS operating systems with the imminent release of versions 18. Inspired by the design elements of visionOS, the new update promises to redefine the user experience on mobile devices.
iOS 18, as a central element of this new design direction would include a translucent navigation bar in the Apple TV application on iPadOS 18, an echo of the design implemented in the tvOS 17.2 version of the same application. This change isn't just a simple aesthetic tweak, but a step toward unifying the user experience across the entire Apple ecosystem.
The translucent design of the menu is reminiscent of visionOS, the operating system that equips the newly launched Vision Pro headset, marking a bridge between augmented reality and the user interface on traditional devices.
In addition to the Apple TV app redesign, Apple also plans to make major changes to the design of other system menus and built-in apps on iOS 18, including the Safari web browser. These changes confirm Apple's commitment to innovation and to providing a user experience as pleasant and intuitive as possible.
iOS 18 generates a lot of expectations in the Apple user community, with the important news to be presented at the annual WWDC developer conference in June. The first beta version is expected to be available shortly after the announcement, paving the way for the official launch in September alongside the new iPhone 16 range.

Without a doubt, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 are set to usher in a new era in mobile operating system design and functionality, cementing its leadership position of Apple in technological innovation.
