iOS 19 release: 4 Things to expect

According to Mark Gurman’s latest Bloomberg report, iOS 19 could bring a major overhaul to the UI for upcoming iPhone, iPad and Mac models. This overhaul could revamp “icons, menus, apps, windows and system buttons,” bringing a whole new iOS experience to Apple device users. Therefore, know about these 4 upcoming changes coming to the iOS 19 update. 

1. Apple is expected to take inspiration from visionOS to make several UI changes to upcoming iOS, macOS and iPadOS. This could be a beneficial change, allowing seamless integration and work across different devices. Several icons, menus, apps, and others could look similar to Apple’s headset OS.
2. Apple will reportedly bring changes to the control centre as it is rumoured to be in great focus for iOS 19. While the changes have not been disclosed, we expect some icon changes and more customisation could come our way.
3. iPhone’s Camera app could get a major design overhaul with translucent menus, new toggle to switch between camera and video mode. We can also expect some AI integration to the camera.
4. Experts suggest that Apple may not give much focus to Apple Intelligence this year, but could bring more AI features or integration to the first-party apps. Additionally, Siri 2.0 has also been delayed for iOS 19. Therefore, we can expect a major Siri upgrade with the new iOS version.
