Customizable Camera App
- Users can select which features appear: flash, exposure, timer, depth of field, photo styles, and resolution.
- Controls are called widgets and can be placed at the top of the interface in any order.
- Widgets are accessed from a transparent tray that slides up from the bottom and are grouped into Basic, Manual, and Settings categories.
- A new advanced layout will target professional users, adding options such as Live Photos and Night Mode.
- Siri camera mode will incorporate Visual Intelligence features currently reachable via the Camera Control or Action buttons.
- The control panel currently accessed from the top‑right will move to the right of the shutter button, and new grid and level options will be added.
Weather App
- A new Conditions panel will allow quick switching between temperature, rain, and wind.
- The panel mirrors the interface used when tapping a weather module in the current version.
Safari
- An updated start page will feature four tabs across the top for Favorites, Bookmarks, Reading List, and History.
Tab Bar Redesign in Apple Apps
- The tab bar in Apple Music, Podcasts, News, and Apple TV will be revised to combine Search with other navigation options.
- This reverses the separation introduced with Liquid Glass, returning to a unified design.
Home Screen
- Adjustments to icon and widget layouts are expected, though details remain limited.
