Apple (
AAPL) - Get Report reportedly is preparing a major revamp of its mobile software that will include an upgrade to how users handle notifications, a redesigned iPad home screen, an updated lock screen, and additional privacy protections for its flagship devices.
Citing people with knowledge of the matter, Bloomberg reported Thursday that the in-development changes are planned to be included in major iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 software updates for the iPhone and iPad.
Cupertino, California-based Apple will announce the software updates - codenamed Sky - at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference beginning June 7, according to Bloomberg.
The iPad line, which gained new iPad Pro models earlier this week, will also see software changes, including a more flexible way to add widgets - miniature apps that can display the weather, appointments, and other data - anywhere on the home screen. Users will also be able to replace the entire app grid with only widgets.
