- Apple’s new Invites application has an interesting interface design
- It is more reminiscent of the visitor applications than those made for iOS
- It can be a design rethinking track of the next IOS 19 design
Occasionally, we take a look at what Apple has planned on its future devices, and that seems to have happened with the recent launch of the company’s new invitation application. Because far from being a simple party planning application, it invites sheds about the type of design we could end up seeing in iOS 19.
Open invitations and the first thing you will notice is how much it has in common with the applications made for Apple Vision Pro headphones. As the apple enthusiast Parker Ortolani has pointed out, the glass and floating boxes of the application remember what you will find when you use Vision Pro.
It is different from most of the other Apple applications, which share a more familiar design language that has been present in iOS for years. With visionos, the operating system that is executed in Vision Pro, Apple changed things, and that seems to have translated into invitations.
Interestingly, it is not the first time that we see an Apple application take a new address in terms of the user interface. Ortolani said that the recently launched sports application of Apple was also a deviation from the traditional design spirit that we are used to seeing. And a recent filtration of what is claimed that it is a new look for the application of the camera in iOS 19 shows an interface that is similar in a similar way in Vision Pro.
Reading tea leaves
With the two most recent applications of the firm, both away from the Apple Application Design principles, does that mean something new is on the horizon? That seems to be Ortolani’s belief, at least. If Apple is beginning to follow the example of Vision Pro when it comes to the design of applications, this could perhaps presage a change when iOS 19 is presented in the summer at the World Developer Conference of Apple (WWDC).
The last time we saw a significant change of application design was when iOS 7 was launched in 2013. When that happened, Apple abandoned the Skeuomorphism that defined its previous design philosophy and adopted a much more flat aspect of both the operating system and its Applications
More than a decade has passed since that important change, so it may be the time for another design rethinking. And if Apple’s latest applications seem to be changing more to those found in visitors, perhaps we will see a much larger review when iOS 19 is revealed to the world.
Ultimately, guarantee that your applications share a common design language makes sense for Apple, since it means that your users can find family elements and systems that are the device they are using. And if that is the goal, it is possible that the other Apple devices, from Apple Watch to Mac, can end up addressing in the same way.
