According to 9to5mac , Apple will be redesigning the interface of this operating system. The new design of iOS 26 promises to make iPhones easier to use, support faster navigation, and be more user-friendly.

According to Bloomberg , the iOS 26 design project has the internal codename Solarium. Solarium refers to a room with glass walls, allowing plenty of sunlight to enter.

This codename may reflect that iOS 26 will have a "transparent" or "glass-like" appearance with a refreshed interface.

iOS 26 is expected to feature a more polished interface, inspired by the visionOS operating system. This design style is anticipated to be applied to many key elements such as app icons, buttons, and the keyboard.

Notably, on iOS 26, Apple is also expected to integrate several third-party AI models for users to utilize as needed. According to 9to5mac , Google Gemini may be one of them.

Previously, the company integrated ChatGPT to improve the Siri virtual assistant and tools within the Apple Intelligence suite. Adding support for new AI models promises to provide users with a more seamless experience when switching between different platforms.
