As with everything related to Apple, most likely this change is related to something coming in a year or two that needs transparent widgets.

Now devs have time to adjust their applications for this system, which makes the next update easier.

Could be AR glasses or a consumer level VR headset, or something completely different.

You would think this would be obvious to everyone. Clearly Apple is prepping for a digital overlay on the real world. Also less UI interaction, more voice/AI interaction.

Very interesting take - infinitely more insightful that any knee-jerk reaction I've seen up till now!

Well I agree that with Apple there is always some sort of plan. But the real question would be: is that plan worth it?

Considering what they are doing with the Vision Pro, I am extremely skeptical. I think Apple has lost touch with why people bought their stuff and this is more evidence of that.

Looks quite relevant for Vision Pro, transparent screens, AR and such. I think that's the rational. Maybe a transparent iPhone screen coming up?
