TL;DR
- According to a YouTuber, iOS 19 will overhaul the Camera app by adopting glassy UI elements resembling visionOS.
- He also suggests that the design language could extend to other parts of the system, such as the home screen and other first-party apps.
- Apple will likely unveil iOS 19 at WWDC25 in June and release the operating system update to all users in September.
Last year, a rumor claimed that iOS 18 would overhaul the built-in Camera app and introduce a visionOS-like design. But this did not materialize. Another source is now making a similar claim, stating that the Apple Camera app on iOS 19 will adopt the so-called translucent UI.
YouTube channel Front Page Technology claims to have watched a verified video of the unreleased iOS 19, showcasing a completely redesigned Camera app. The new look reflects visionOS, with glassy buttons and round icons. Although the YouTuber didn’t share the leaked video himself, he reportedly created a comparable mock-up based on reality.
Beyond the revamped Camera app, Front Page Technology suggests that the translucent UI could extend to more parts of iOS 19, including the Home screen and other Apple apps. However, such a big change is unlikely to happen via a single operating system update, as credible reports indicate that Apple is already struggling to develop announced features on time.
The iOS 19 beta will likely debut to registered developers at WWDC25 in June. If Apple sticks to its release schedule, users with compatible iPhone models can expect a public launch around mid-September. Besides the questionable camera leak, iOS 19 will reportedly introduce more Apple Intelligence features. These could include a smarter Siri, capable of handling more complex queries like ChatGPT.
