Apple’s 2025 update wave promises a radical overhaul for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, and beyond. The fresh “Liquid Glass” design, bold AI integrations, and overhauled multitasking turn your devices into futuristic powerhouses.
Here’s what’s coming and how you can get ready.
Q: What’s New With Apple’s 2025 Operating Systems?
Apple is ditching confusing numbers for clarity: meet iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26. Each now matches its release year, making upgrades simpler to track.
Beta versions are available for developers now, with full public releases this fall. If you’re itching to preview them, keep an eye on Apple’s developer site.
How Will the New “Liquid Glass” Design Change My Experience?
Apple’s new “Liquid Glass” theme delivers a stunning, semi-transparent interface. Buttons, tabs, and menus melt seamlessly into your background wallpaper. Your lockscreen, notifications, and core apps like Camera, Safari, and Phone all flaunt the new aesthetic.
Safari’s full-screen browsing enlarges webpages for distraction-free reading, while the Camera app now emphasizes simplicity with easy mode-swapping.
Q: Is Multitasking on iPad Finally Good Enough for Power Users?
Massive yes. iPadOS 26 introduces Mac-style multitasking. Open, resize, and freely arrange multiple windows. There’s a new menu bar and a precision mouse pointer—features power users have demanded for years.
Plus, the iPad finally gets the Preview app from Mac, enabling markup and annotation on images and PDFs directly.
How Can I Supercharge Messages, Gaming, and Calls?
Messages lets you set custom backgrounds, launch group polls, and screen unknown senders into a separate folder. Typing indicators now work in group chats, adding real-time awareness.
Gaming goes next level: A new Games app centralizes Apple Arcade titles and lets you quickly challenge friends through Play Together. For high-end fun, visionOS 26 will support PlayStation’s VR Sense controllers—expanding the Apple Vision Pro’s gaming possibilities.
And your Mac? The Phone app finally arrives, integrating favorites, recents, and voicemails into one slick panel. Spotlight search is more personal than ever, and Live Activities from iPhone make your desktop truly dynamic.
Q: How Is Apple Using AI to Make Devices Smarter?
Apple’s new AI features aren’t just hype. In iOS 26, press screenshot buttons to launch an AI assistant—ask about items on your screen, hunt for visual matches on Google or Etsy, and even tap into ChatGPT for deeper context.
Messages, Phone, and FaceTime now offer real-time AI-powered translations: texts translate instantly, speech gets voiceover in your language, and FaceTime captions appear live.
AirPods get an AI boost too: tap their stem to snap a photo with your phone, plus enjoy “studio” voice recordings no matter the background noise.
On top of all this, developers will soon build their own AI-powered tools using Apple’s on-device intelligence—opening the door for next-gen apps.
Q: What About Apple Watch, AirPods, and Vision Pro?
watchOS 26 introduces a snappy “wrist flick” gesture to dismiss notifications and the all-new Workout Buddy, which uses AI to coach you with real-time, personalized motivation.
AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 get voice isolation for crisp calls and stem-tap photo capture, making them smarter than ever.
visionOS 26 upgrades Apple Vision Pro with spatial widgets that feel like part of your room, plus new hands-free scrolling features.
