Apple should announce iOS 19 to WWDC 2025 in June, as is the standard each year. But this year, the buzz surrounding the latest operating system is extraordinary because there are reports of a major overhaul on a scale that we have seen for the last time with iOS 7. If you are curious to know what iOS 19 will imply before Apple reveals it to the Keynote of June 9, here is all that we have so far on the next update.
What is the iOS 19 release date?
Apple will unveil iOS 19 at WWDC 2025 on June 9, 2025, after its annual model. The iOS 19 developer should be published just after the announcement on June 9, with a public beta version probably in July. The first stable version of iOS 19 should take place alongside the iPhone 17 series in September 2025.
IOS 19 Rumor leaks and features
These are rumors that take place in rumors for iOS 19. Since the official release is in a few months and that Apple does not announce the functionalities in advance, they are rumors and leaks 19 collected from renowned sources. However, take everything you read with a grain of salt instead of something written in stone.
1. A redesign inspired by visionos
One of the biggest reports for iOS 19 implies a major revision of the user interface and the UX, which will be inspired by visionos. The overhaul will go beyond a new layer of paint, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. The company plans to modify the look as well as the user experience. If it is true, it will change the way users interact with Apple devices.
This overhaul would include floating windows and a glass aesthetic between applications. It will also extend to iPados 19 and MacOS 16, providing consistency on Apple’s devices. Adopting the design principles that the company introduced with Visionos, the redesign will include transparent menus, rounded icons and new pimples. Apple’s recent application, Invitation to applepresents transparent elements, which also give more weight to these rumors of iOS 19 design on the new direction in which the company is heading.
As we mentioned previously, a new leak in the technology of the first page shows the extent of some of the new design of iOS 19. Depending on the video, the icons of the application are more between a square and a circle instead of a complete circle. But Prosser suggests that icons could still become completely round when iOS 19 is presented in June. Certain controls of the control center have also experienced a similar rounding treatment.
According to statements, Apple also introduces a pill -shaped tab bar at the bottom of applications. The tab bar will include an display tab icon and a search bar. The completion of the display icon of the tab widen the tab bar to display different tabs of an application. The tab bar will not just come to Apple applications. Third -party application developers could also be able to add it to their applications.
There will also be other minor changes. Expect elongated tent in the Settings application or a shimmering effect for locking screen controls in iOS 19.
Note that, even if some reports loved the overhaul to the dramatic change observed with iOS 7, others suggest that changes can be more iterative, which brings a new aesthetic rather than a complete overhaul. But even if the reports on the scale of the overhaul differ, everyone seems to be in agreement that a recasting occurs.
2. Application and application of redesigned messages
The reports suggest that iOS 19 will also bring back to the application of the camera. As Beebom previously reported, Jon Prosser shared the new design of the Camera application on his YouTube channel. The new design will only have two tabs below: photo and video. The rest of the associated options will appear when you press one of the two.
For example, pressing the “Photo” tab can display options like Depth, spatial, pano, style, appearance, exposure and timer, while the “video” tab can house the options for Depth, spatial, slowdown, time, action and exposure.
The menus themselves will be transparent to align with the proposed overhaul of visionos through applications in iOS 19.
With the camera application, Jon Prosser also suggested that the redesign of the Message application, which presented rounded and transparent buttons for rear and facetime navigation at the top and a rounding keyboard at the bottom. The messages application could also have a persistent search bar at the bottom.
After these iOS 19 leaks, Gurman posted that the leaks seem to be based on “Very old constructions or wave descriptions, missing key characteristics.” But in the new video Prosser shared, he called Gurman. Prosser also says that they have now seen the latest constructions, and their report reflects it.
3. Personalized Siri
Personalized Siri, which was originally to arrive with other AI features in iOS 18, could potentially arrive with iOS 19. Apple announced the delay last month in what has become the greatest crisis of Apple in decades. What is even more embarrassing is the fact that Apple did not give a concrete calendar for the delay.
So, even if we hope to see Siri personalized by iOS 19.4 next year, it might not happen. If you are not in the loop, Apple had planned the following SIRI upgrades as part of Apple Intelligence’s push:
- Personal context: Siri can follow your information between emails, messages, files, etc., to help you in a more personalized way. For example, if you say, “What is my driving license number?” And you have the information stored somewhere like photos, Siri can find it and recover it for you.
- Consciousness on the screen: Siri will be able to see information on your screen and perform actions accordingly. For example, if you send SMS with someone and receive a link in the text, you can just ask Siri to add it to your bookmarks, and Siri will know what you mean.
- Take action on applications: Siri will also be able to take several actions on applications at a previously impossible level. For example, he will be able to modify your photos and send them to someone, to recover information from a document and to send it by email to someone on your behalf, and more.
Note
Apple also works on an even larger overhaul for Siri, who will bring her handling capacities with other LLM chatbots like Chatgpt. However, given the delays in personalized Siri, it is unlikely that this smarter version, named LLM Siri, arrives in iOS 19.
4. Reworked health application with an AI doctor
While Apple is struggling to ship features of AI previously announced, reports of new AI features have already started to go around. With iOS 19.4, the technology giant plans to bring an AI doctor to the health application, who will also see a redesign otherwise. The Doctor / Coach IA service would give users personalized recommendations for their health after analyzing the data captured by the Health application.
There will also be other health -related features in iOS 19, according to Gurman. For example, the AI agent will be able to analyze user training sessions because the Health application will have access to cameras. Although I am careful about the functionality, I must say that it will be an excellent decision to make health care assisted by AI more accessible to everyone.
5. Live translation for AirPods
Apple also works on a live translation function for AirPods, and the update will be linked to iOS 19. The functionality, which will use the Apple Translate application, will simplify the bearer translation process. If the person carrying the Airpod is an English speaker but speaks to someone who speaks French, for example, Airpods will automatically detect and translate French into English. While the translate application already has these capacities, bringing them to AirPods with iOS 19 will make it even more transparent.
These are all speculated features to come on iOS 19. Although there are undoubtedly more features in the update, the reports also suggest that Apple could refresh with its annual approach to shipping features. Instead, it will bring them when they are ready. It may be a good thing, given the recent business struggle to send all the features it announced at WWDC 2024.
What iPhones will get iOS 19?
According to a recent leak, Apple deletes XR, XS and XS Max iPhones from the list of devices supported iOS 19. If the rumor turns out to be true, what it could (because it is shared by an anonymous and private account on X with a history of deleting correct information), the list of IOS 19 compatible devices would include:
- iPhone 11, 11 pro, 11 pro max
- iPhone SE (2nd generation)
- iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 pro, 12 pro max
- iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 pro, 13 pro max
- iPhone SE (3rd generation)
- iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 pro, 14 pro max
- iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 pro, 15 pro max
- iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 pro, 16 pro max, 16th
Of course, there is then the iPhone 17 – iPhone 17, 17 Plus range, 17 pro, 17 pro max, and the rumor of the air of the iPhone 17 – which will be shipped with the iOS 19 update.
This is all the information currently in the ether on iOS 19. It will surely be important. What do you think of iOS 19 leaks and the overhaul of rumors? Do you think it will be a good idea, or is it only to distract users from Apple Intelligence’s failure?
