Apple is planning some significant design changes across its core apps, including Phone, Camera, and Safari, that it will announce at WWDC next week, according to a report from Bloomberg. For its Phone app, Apple will reportedly add a new view that puts favorite contacts, recent calls, and voicemails into a “single, scrollable window.”

Bloomberg notes that this new view will be optional, and that users can switch back to the old layout using a toggle within the Phone app. The design tweaks are part of the broader, visionOS-inspired changes Apple is expected to make across its operating systems, which will reportedly now be called iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26.

In line with the “digital glass” elements that Bloomberg says Apple will incorporate across its operating systems, the outlet reports that Safari will get a “more transparent and glassy address bar.” The company is reportedly planning to simplify the Camera app as well, which YouTuber Jon Prosser hinted at earlier this year. As previously reported by 9to5Mac, Apple may also add support for polls in Messages, along with the ability to set background images that sync across devices — similar to WhatsApp.

Other changes mentioned by Bloomberg include expanding the Mac’s Preview app to iPadOS and iOS, allowing users to open and annotate PDFs on their mobile devices. Bloomberg shared more details about Apple’s rumored Games app, too, which could feature Home, Arcade, Play Together, Library, and Search tabs. Despite rumors that Apple is planning to change the shape of its app icons, Bloomberg reports that they will “largely” stay the same.

Based on recent predictions, WWDC is shaping up to have a focus on operating system-centered revamps, rather than major advancements in AI. Though Bloomberg notes that Apple will likely add AI-powered live translation of phone calls and texts, we will likely have to wait for a future event to see the company’s fully upgraded Siri.
