OnePlus will make Android 15 look more like iOS

OnePlus, once known for its minimalist software experience, is set to take a different direction with OxygenOS 15. According to recent reports, this Android 15 update will take inspiration from Apple’s iOS, incorporating design elements and features that will be familiar to iPhone users.

Second the descriptionthere will be a revamped Quick Settings that will feature a 2x2 media player, brightness and volume sliders, and toggles for various settings. This new layout is described as a combination of iOS and Xiaomi's HyperOS. Fortunately, users who prefer the traditional Android design will have the option to revert back.

Another reported change is the separation of Quick Settings, now called Control Center, from the notifications tray. Swiping down from either side of the screen will open the respective panel, mimicking iOS behavior.

The iOS influence is said to extend to other aspects of the user interface as well. The volume control will now behave similarly to iOS, starting large and decreasing as you adjust the volume. The lock screen will offer more customization options, also reminiscent of Apple's system.

Additionally, a Dynamic Island-like feature will be placed around the centered camera cutout. Even the camera app will undergo changes, with Motion Photos being rebranded as “Live Photos,” reflecting Apple’s terminology.

While these iOS-inspired changes are the focus of the information shared, it remains to be seen what other updates OnePlus has in store for OxygenOS 15. OnePlus is expected to release OxygenOS 15 beta with Android 15 as early as this month, with a likely release date in October.

It’s interesting to see how OnePlus, once a defender of stock Android, changes its stance. While some users may appreciate these additional features, others may regret the departure from Android’s traditional design language. Ultimately, the success of OxygenOS 15 will depend on how OnePlus integrates these new elements.
