hello. This is Technologytodaynow. This post is about iOS 19, which is expected to be installed on the iPhone 17.
iOS 19 is expected to see major changes
As the more personalized Siri update is postponed until next year, more time is needed to fully utilize AI features in Apple products.
Meanwhile, there are reports of major changes coming to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said on his Twitter account that Apple is planning the largest software overhaul in history in iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and MacOS 16 due this year, and will restructure the operating system for the next generation of users.
Recent OS Lacks of Uniformity
Apple places great importance on organic interworking and uniformity among ecosystems. Recently, the iPhone design and basic app execution method have shown lack of uniformity among OSs. In addition, the Vision OS is much further removed from other OSs. The current icon shape is also different, and the Vision OS is different from other OSs in terms of icon shape and translucent panel design. Apple is planning to carry out a large-scale reorganization around the Vision OS.
iOS 19 Expected Changes
In addition, Mark Gurman noted that iOS 19 will see a bigger change than the change from iOS 6 to iOS 7. In January this year, Front Page Tech revealed the expected interface of its new camera app that will be introduced in iOS 19. In the newly applied camera app, the view finder is located below, and the camera control panel is designed with a translucent panel similar to the Vision OS. Therefore, it is much prettier than today’s camera app, and it is expected to improve your intuition by providing simple explanations through icons.
In this situation, I think I can understand some of the reasons for the delay in Apple’s intelligence capabilities. Apple seems to have valued unity between ecosystems more than intelligence. However, since the marketing of the iPhone 16 Pro centered on Apple Intelligence, it cannot be free from the criticism of false advertising.
stability concerns
Looking at Apple’s recent upheaval, it’s hard to have just a positive view. Apple has seen increasing bugs with every recent iOS update, and there’s also a serious problem with the iPad being a brick at all. So, if there’s a big update, there’s no choice but to worry about its stability. There’s only three months left until WWDC. I’m excited to see what iOS 19 will look like with the iPhone 17.
