Apple is getting ready to release its next big iPhone update—iOS 19. It’s expected to be announced at the WWDC event in June 2025, and many believe it could bring the biggest design changes since iOS 7. A test version for developers may come out soon, with the full public release likely in September. Here’s a quick look at what’s new in iOS 19:
1. New Look Inspired by Vision Pro
iOS 19 will have a fresh design, taking inspiration from visionOS, the system used in Apple’s Vision Pro headset. You’ll notice:
-
More glass-like effects in menus and buttons
-
Rounder app icons
-
A floating tab bar in Apple apps for easier navigation
This could be the most noticeable iPhone makeover in years!
2. RCS Messages with More Privacy
Apple will add end-to-end encryption to RCS messages, meaning your messages will be more secure. This upgrade will also work on Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch.
Plus, messaging will become smarter with:
-
Inline replies
-
Editing sent messages
-
Unsend option
-
Tapback support (like reactions)
3. Live Translation with AirPods
With iOS 19, some AirPods models will be able to translate languages live. For example, if someone is speaking Spanish, you’ll hear the English translation through your AirPods. This is great for traveling or having conversations in different languages.
4. Smarter Health App
The Health app is getting a big upgrade. iOS 19.4 will bring:
-
AI health coaching that gives you personalized fitness and wellness tips
-
Expert health videos
-
Food tracking tools (like what you see in MyFitnessPal)
-
Better health insights based on your habits
5. Smarter, More Personal Siri
A new version of Siri is coming too! It will be:
-
More aware of your context (like your location or schedule)
-
Better at helping in apps
-
Able to answer questions like when your flight is or what reservations you have
⚠️ Note: This advanced Siri will only be available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and newer models that support Apple Intelligence.
