A new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman states that Apple is working on iPhone’s UI which could arrive later this year.

Well, Gurman’s report did not discuss this in detail but another report gave us a glimpse on how it could look.
A report by The Verifier citing anonymous sources claims the iOS 18 could look very much similar to visionOS. It is the user interface of Apple’s latest MR headset, the Vision Pro.
