It features a complete redesign with Apple’s new “Liquid Glass” design language along with updates to apps across the platform. But now, Apple’s big iOS updates will be numbered based on the year following their introduction, a little bit like carmakers do with new car releases. Apple is also adding Live Translation, powered by Apple Intelligence, which can translate conversations in real time. Apple Pay will be able to use Apple Intelligence to track your orders made outside of Apple Pay. You can also take a screenshot of an event and use Visual Intelligence to help add it to your calendar.
