With iOS 19 anticipated to be unveiled in June 2025 at Apple’s Worldwide Builders Convention (WWDC), rumors about its options have been coming in quick. Though none of those rumors will be confirmed in the meanwhile, they nonetheless give us a good suggestion about what Apple could be contemplating behind the scenes. Since AI is the flavour of the month, Apple Intelligence enhancements are anticipated for iOS 19, however the digital camera app may additionally be getting some consideration. Here is every little thing that is been leaked to date.
The merging of Siri and Apple Intelligence
In line with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to merge Siri with Apple Intelligence someday throughout the iOS 19 patch cycle. Sure, the assistant is at present listed as being a part of Apple Intelligence, however behind the scenes, it is supposedly received a brand new LLM within the works that will unify its at present cut up structure and permit it to extra often deal with complicated requests. As of now, its AI options are way more restricted, and most of Siri does not use AI in any respect.
Gurman says he expects the merger to be accomplished by spring of 2026 with the launch of iOS 19.4. His report states that, initially, Apple’s plan was to launch a extra conversational Siri in the identical replace, however that is been delayed and isn’t anticipated to be unveiled at WWDC 2025.
Gurman additionally signifies that as a result of Apple has not but accomplished final yr’s Apple Intelligence function rollout, any as but unannounced options should not be anticipated for some time.
A Digicam app redesign
A couple of month in the past, YouTuber FrontPageTech revealed a leaked redesign of the iPhone’s Digicam app. He claimed to have seen a video of the rumored redesign and recreated it for a video. The render primarily focuses on the management system. As an alternative of swiping left or proper to change between digital camera modes, this leak signifies that we may even see simply two choices once we open the app—images and movies. Swiping switches between them, whereas tapping reveals extra choices corresponding to panorama or spatial movies. You can even see a barely bigger viewfinder within the render, however all of this needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Even when the sources are credible and the knowledge correct (different leakers have doubted FrontPageTech earlier than), loads can change between now and launch. Options get shifted round on a regular basis throughout growth, and you may count on a few of that with iOS 19 as effectively.
No main UI modifications
The FrontPageTech leak additionally means that Apple will not be making different main UI modifications in iOS 19. With iOS 18’s growth not but full regardless of WWDC 2025 being proper across the nook, I do must agree that appears unlikely that large UI modifications would observe so quickly.
Your iPhone will (in all probability) run iOS 19
With no main UI redesign anticipated, there isn’t any cause for Apple to axe extra telephones from the iOS 19 replace lineup. Citing a supply inside Apple, French web site iPhoneSoft.fr stories that any cellphone that runs iOS 18 needs to be appropriate with iOS 19 as effectively. Nevertheless, the iPad 7 will supposedly not be so fortunate, as the web site says it is not going to be included within the iPadOS 19 replace.
