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 could be confirmed for the time being, they nonetheless give us a good suggestion about what Apple is perhaps contemplating behind the scenes. Since AI is the flavour of the month, Apple Intelligence enhancements are anticipated for iOS 19, however the digicam app may additionally be getting some consideration. Here is all the things that is been leaked up to now.
The merging of Siri and Apple Intelligence
Based on Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to merge Siri with Apple Intelligence someday through the iOS 19 patch cycle. Sure, the assistant is at the moment listed as being a part of Apple Intelligence, however behind the scenes, it is supposedly bought a brand new LLM within the works that will unify its at the moment cut up structure and permit it to extra ceaselessly deal with advanced requests. As of now, its AI options are way more restricted, and most of Siri would 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 12 months’s Apple Intelligence characteristic rollout, any as but unannounced options should not be anticipated for some time.
A Digital camera app redesign

The render primarily focuses on the management system. As an alternative of swiping left or proper to change between digicam modes, this leak signifies that we might even see simply two choices after we open the app—images and movies. Swiping switches between them, whereas tapping reveals extra choices equivalent to panorama or spatial movies. You may also see a barely bigger viewfinder within the render, however all of this must 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 anticipate a few of that with iOS 19 as properly.
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 massive UI modifications would comply with 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 experiences that any telephone that runs iOS 18 must be appropriate with iOS 19 as properly.
