As of now,\u00a0Apple has already begun work on watchOS 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So far, the main rumored features are related to a redesign and the expansion of\u00a0Apple Intelligence<\/a>. Here\u2019s what we know:<\/p>\n

A visionOS-like inspired redesign is coming<\/p>\n

Two reports suggest Apple plans to revamp the design of watchOS 12<\/a>. According to Mark Gurman, the Apple Watch is \u201cdesignated to get some of the new interface elements here and there, but without a major overhaul.\u201d That said, the Apple Watch already feels like hardware closer to the visionOS design language.<\/p>\n

These tweaks will likely be minimal, reflecting changes in icons and so on.<\/p>\n

Still, Apple is expected to give iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 a major redesign. Gurman writes<\/a> that iOS 19 \u201cwill fundamentally change the look of the operating systems and make Apple\u2019s various software platforms more consistent.\u201d According to the journalist, Apple will unify the look of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS to deliver a more straightforward experience through the platform.<\/p>\n
