Apple teases major iOS redesign for WWDC 2025, tagline is Sleek Peek
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 is set to take place from 9 to 13 June, and there's now a fresh new tagline to go with it — Sleek Peek. Greg Joswiak, SVP Marketing at Apple, posted on X (formerly Twitter), 'WWDC25 is next week! Can't wait to show you what we've been working on. See you June 9 at 10 am PT.' For those keeping track, there was an earlier tagline — On the horizon — which Apple initially used in its promotional material. The new tagline appears to reflect the company's focus on design, particularly the rumoured visual overhaul of iOS that's said to borrow heavily from visionOS — the operating system behind the Vision Pro headset — according to Bloomberg's Mark this year's WWDC might also see Apple rethink its entire software naming convention. Instead of calling the next iPhone operating system iOS 19, there's talk that Apple could rename it iOS 26 to align with the calendar year. This would bring uniformity across its platforms, which currently run on different version numbers — iOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, and so on — making it harder to keep track. This potential renaming would mirror what Samsung did with its Galaxy S20 series in 2020, skipping from S10 to S20 to better match product names with the launch course, this shift raises a natural question — why jump to iOS 26 instead of iOS 25, given we're in 2025? That part remains unclear, and only Apple truly knows the reason. Regardless, it's clear that WWDC 2025 could mark a major turning point for the company, not just in terms of what's under the hood, but how the entire software ecosystem is presented and structured. A new visual language paired with a more intuitive naming system might just be the 2025: What to expectadvertisement This year's WWDC is expected to be less about adding flashy new features and more about transforming how Apple's software looks and feels. According to Bloomberg, Apple is preparing a large-scale redesign across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS — a project internally codenamed Solarium. Drawing inspiration from visionOS, the updated interface is said to include rounded app icons, translucent elements, and softer design touches reminiscent of the major revamp last seen with iOS 7. As we already mentioned, the renaming to iOS 26, macOS 26, and so on is also likely, making version tracking simpler and more consistent across Apple's ecosystem. Beyond visuals, expect practical updates like easier Wi-Fi sharing, smarter battery tools, and a desktop mode for iPhones with USB-C, allowing them to mimic a PC setup. Gamers might see a new cross-platform app that builds on Game Centre, while developers could get new tools for integrating Apple Intelligence into third-party apps. And while hardware won't take centre stage, a new Mac Pro or a teaser of the rumoured iPhone 17 Air might still make a brief appearance.

Apple Hints at Bold iOS Redesign for WWDC 2025 with New ‘Sleek Peek' Tagline
Apple has officially started the countdown to its much-anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, which will run from June 9 to June 13. With a new tagline — 'Sleek Peek' — Apple is dropping strong hints at a visual transformation of its software platforms, particularly iOS. Greg Joswiak, Apple's Senior Vice President of Marketing, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the excitement: 'WWDC25 is next week! Can't wait to show you what we've been working on. See you June 9 at 10 am PT.' While Apple had previously promoted the event under the tagline 'On the Horizon,' the updated phrase 'Sleek Peek' seems to better capture the company's rumoured focus on design innovation. According to reports by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is gearing up for a significant redesign of iOS, influenced heavily by visionOS, the software that powers the Vision Pro headset. Users can expect a more fluid interface with rounded icons, translucent backgrounds, and subtle animations — elements aimed at making the experience feel more immersive and refined. This project is reportedly codenamed Solarium within Apple. But the visual makeover might not be the only change. Apple is also rumoured to be considering a major shift in its naming convention. Speculation suggests that the next iPhone operating system could skip from iOS 18 to iOS 26, aligning with the calendar year. This move would bring consistency across its platforms, which currently carry different version numbers — iOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, etc. It echoes Samsung's leap from the Galaxy S10 to S20, aimed at simplifying product timelines for users. Why jump straight to iOS 26 in 2025? That remains one of Apple's best-kept secrets. Some believe it's a branding strategy to future-proof the ecosystem; others think it may tie into a broader unification effort across Apple's operating systems. Beyond aesthetics and naming conventions, WWDC 2025 is expected to focus more on refinements than flashy features. Updates like seamless Wi-Fi sharing, battery management tools, and even a desktop mode for iPhones with USB-C are reportedly in the pipeline. This mode would allow iPhones to mimic a basic PC setup when connected to external displays — a move that could benefit professionals and travellers alike. Gamers may also have something to look forward to, with talk of a new cross-platform gaming hub built on top of Game Center. Developers, on the other hand, might receive tools that integrate Apple Intelligence, the company's AI-driven framework, into third-party apps. While hardware announcements are not expected to dominate, a teaser of the next-gen Mac Pro or early buzz around the iPhone 17 Air could make a surprise appearance. With its Sleek Peek promise, WWDC 2025 is shaping up to be more than just another developer event — it could be the beginning of a bold new chapter in Apple's software journey.
