Everything Apple may alter in its next OS
At WWDC 2025 on Monday, Apple is expected to reveal iOS 19, which may include a new moniker, a Vision Pro-inspired design, and more.
Here are iOS 19’s most anticipated features.
New name
Sources informed Bloomberg that Apple would rebrand its operating systems by release year instead of version number. This implies iOS 19 will become iOS 26, like automobile model years. Other software releases including iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26 will likewise change names.
Major redesign
Bloomberg reports that the operating system may undergo a full visual revamp inspired by Apple’s Vision Pro headset, marking the biggest design update since iOS 7. This might incorporate transparent navigation panels and circular app icons. Apple will use visionOS-inspired design throughout its ecosystem to provide a more coherent experience.
Dedicated game app
Apple may potentially release a gaming app that integrates Apple Arcade with the App Store’s games and centralizes achievements, leaderboards, and App Store content. DigitalTrends said that the business purchased its first gaming studio, RAC7.
Health coach virtually
Apple may potentially be creating a health coach AI. The Health app data will inform this new chatbot’s lifestyle recommendations and health advice. Food-tracking may also be added to the Health app to monitor carbohydrate and caffeine consumption.
Better battery management
AI-powered battery management might help iPhones. This new function reportedly analyzes device use and conserves battery life. The lock screen may also include a new charging symbol with an estimated charge time.
What about Siri?
The amazing Siri features shown in Apple’s 2024 presentation—a context-aware assistant that can collect information and conduct actions across apps—are missing from the rumors. The corporation said the additional features were postponed in March.
Messages AI translation
9to5Mac reports that Apple Intelligence-powered translation will automatically translate Messages messages in users’ inboxes. 9to5Mac also says that Apple Intelligence might fuel a group chat polling feature with AI-generated poll recommendations.
