Next month, Apple will present its latest software updates during WWDC25. Not only will the company unveil iOS 19, MacOS 16 for Mac will also receive attention. Just like iOS and iPados, the successor to MacOS Sequoia may get a new interface in the style of Visionos.
This means that the design of app symbols, menus and buttons will be more transparent and reduced. Visionos is characterized by the glassy texture Apple has given the elements, chances are that iOS, iPados, macOS and even Watchos will get a similar interface. In addition, Stage Manager will be adjusted and we can expect even more innovations.
MacOS 16 rumors
In recent weeks, various rumors have been leaked about the approaching software updates. For example, iOS 19 and iPados 19 may get a completely renewed design in the style of Visionos. The interface of MacOS 16 may also be inspired by this. Below we list the current rumors for you.
Completely renewed design
In the meantime, we can say with certainty that Apple will drastically adjust the interface of iOS 19 and iPados 19 to a new style. At first it was thought that only the iPhone and iPad would receive these adjustments, but Mark Gurman van Bloomberg reports That the redesign of the software will be implemented on different platforms, including the Mac.
The new design will soon look more like Visionos, the system of the Apple Vision Pro. This means that you will see more transparent frames with rounded corners on your Mac. The new design may show similarities with frosted glass.
MacOS 16 is said to also update the style of symbols, menus, app symbols, windows and system buttons for Mac users. This gives your existing Mac computer a new look.
Clipboard extra secure
Apple has announced The automatic reading of the clipboard to limit in a future update of macOS. Probably from macOS 16 that is expected this fall.
The company wants to tackle the clipboard automatically. Now it is true that all apps on your Mac can view the clipboard and use the data thereof. This way the app can recognize that you have copied an e-mail address and can automatically stick it in the desired field for you.
If an app wants to request the content of your clipboard, MacOS will now send a notification asking if the application may view the contents of the clipboard. Only after approval is the content released to the app. With this, Apple wants to prevent the unseen collecting of data. Apple has already introduced this under iOS and iPados.
Internship Manager 2.0
With Stage Manager you can multitasking on a Mac through several windows. A lot of Mac users have no knowledge of the function, because it is quite hidden. On the iPad the function is more popular, but also hidden. A pity, because internship manager can be useful. The function automatically cleans up the screen of your Mac and is the tool for optimally multitasking.
Stage Manger will be provided with a menu bar on the iPad and would also come to the iPhone in combination with an external screen. Apple would also like to simplify and partly automate the use of the function. The past teaches us that adjustments to Stage Manager are immediately applied to all platforms, so there is a good chance that the position will also be renewed under macOS 16.
Reduce travel sickness on Mac
A function that will be 100% sure to be added to macOS 16 Instructions for moving vehicles. Just like on the iPhone, these instructions can help to reduce travel sickness when driving a moving vehicle. Thanks to MacOS 16, this function comes to Mac, together with new ways to adjust the animated dots on the screen on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Instructions for moving vehicles consist of dots on the edges of the screen that follow the movements of the vehicle. This limits the conflicting signals of the senses, without this having consequences for the most important information on the screen. Built -in sensors of iPhone, iPad and Mac detect whether the user is in a moving vehicle, so that the display can be adjusted.
