Fans think Apple is teasing a radical new iPhone software design inspired by Vision Pro

The last big change to the design of Apple's iOS software for iPhone came in 2013, with the release of iOS 7. This eschewed skeuomorphism in favour of flat, colourful design – and from a design perspective, every update since then has felt pretty incremental. But fans think Apple has begun teasing another dramatic new look for the iPhone – and it could be inspired by the Vision Pro.

We've already marvelled at the highly visual new menu screen for assigning actions to the iPhone 15 Pro's new Action button. And now that users have had time to fully get to grips with both iOS 17 and the new iPhones, it seems the it isn't the only example of a dramatically different style for Apple.
