Slight Design Changes

Apple decided to make a couple of really tiny design changes that you probably wouldn’t notice. Still, they’re worth mentioning for the next time you open an app or use a widget.

For starters, we have the Apple Books app. Apple added a few changes, including the new position of the reading goal; now it appears right next to your profile picture in the top right corner instead of below the word Home, with a more prominent indicator to help you see your progress at a glance.

Other small tweaks to the reading goal, like the fact that you won’t see the words “See all” when you want to check your previous reads, are also pretty tiny changes.

The Apple Podcasts widget probably got the biggest update, as it now automatically changes color to match the show and episode you’re watching.

The Weather app’s widget also changed slightly, and its font size is now smaller than before. Again, it’s a change you won’t notice unless you put two iPhones side by side.

Last but not least, the Settings app. Apple changed the Passkeys Access for Web Browsers option in the Settings app, and now it has a small icon next to it to match the other options on the list.

Again, these are pretty small changes. If you want big changes, you’ll need to wait for iOS 18, where it’s rumored that Apple will completely redesign iOS and make it look more like visionOS.
