With the leaks for the subsequent iPhone flagship dropping, fans are also bracing for the next iOS update, which has plenty of rumors about specifications and upgrades. From speculation on new features and a possible design overhaul, there is a lot of buzz regarding iOS 19 that has fans eagerly waiting for it.
Date of the Launch
Based on the leaks and Apple’s usual release schedule, it is speculated that iOS 19 will probably launch in September 2025, when the expected iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air are also supposedly launching. iPhone has always launched version updates of the iOS alongside the specific iPhone lineup launched that year. Apple has always released its flagship phones in September for many years, so they will likely be released simultaneously this year.
New Camera App
iOS 19 will likely bring the newly redesigned camera app, taking inspiration from visionOS. The UI redesign inspired by VisionOS is also probable but has not yet been confirmed. Based on screenshots, the redesigned Camera app removes the clutter of the current interface, instead using transparent icons and overlays to hide the options in the menus.
Redesigned Siri and AI improvements
Apple’s Siri urgently needed an update to its current version, as it struggled to answer very basic questions. It has not received any update in iOS 18 but now seems to be bringing the users an update later this year. This means that Siri will get its much-needed update along with the launch of iOS 19 or later in a mid-year update. In addition, AI-powered text editing and priority messages will also most definitely be brought about by Apple in the next iOS.
RCS Encryption
Apple enabled RCS messaging last year on iOS, but the users could not benefit from one of the main features of iOS, which is end-to-end encryption. The feature is important as it secures messages between users by scrambling them into code, which can only be deciphered by the sender and the recipient, making intercepting the message useless. iOS 19 is most likely bringing a new RCS standard, which will give Apple users the full benefits of RCS.
Live Translation on the AirPods
Another big speculation from a report by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg is that the AirPods will be able to live-translate languages in real-time due to a new Apple Intelligence feature in iOS 19. The AirPods’ microphones will pick up the speech, and the translated audio will be relayed through the speakers. This would be a big step in enabling conversation between users of different languages.
UI Design Overhauls
This is also one of the most significant iOS 19 rumors we have seen so far, and it talks about the design overhaul for Apple’s user interface. The design will be taken from Apple Vision Pro’s visionOS, which will introduce more circular elements and use transparent overlays. Based on what we know about the new camera app, the UI can also follow this new design philosophy.
iOS 19 Compatible devices
These are the list of devices that will support iOS 19, which looks very similar to devices compatible with iOS 18:
- iPhone 15 series
- iPhone 14 series
- iPhone 13 series
- iPhone 12 series
- iPhone 11 series
- iPhone SE (2022)
Apple might end support for the oldest currently supported iPhones- the iPhone X, the XR, and the Xs Max. However, this is not yet confirmed since the X phones did receive the upgrade to iOS 18.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the iOS 19
Apple will bring a major leap in AI-driven enhancements, like upgrades to Apple Intelligence and an enhanced Siri, which will be more intuitive than any previous versions. In addition, Apple also has introduced greater customization options, with an interactive home screen that will be based on the VisionOS software. Finally, iOS 19 will also bring enhanced power management and performance optimizations, which are speculated to bring an adaptive power mode and better efficiency to older devices.
However, this also means that older devices will no longer be compatible with iOS 19 like the X versions and older. Even if the older iPhone versions work with the OS, it may experience performance issues, a more hindering update for fans rather than an improvement. This also means that new AI-powered features will also be unavailable to the older models.
Conclusion
iOS 19 is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most exciting updates, bringing various AI-powered enhancements, user experience, and design changes. With a redesigned camera app, smarter Siri, RCS encryption, and the AirPods translation, Apple also aims to offer a seamless and secure user experience. It will launch alongside the iPhone 17 series in September 2025, bringing a modern design overhaul and next-level performance for Apple users.
