You may still feel that iOS 18 is new but leaks about iOS 19 are already making headlines. This upcoming update is rumoured to bring significant design changes, starting with a redesigned Camera app that borrows heavily from visionOS, which is the operating system used for the Vision Pro headset.

Here’s what we are hearing about iOS 19.

Redesigned Camera App in iOS 19

In a recent YouTube video by Jon Prosser (Front Page Tech), a preview of the redesigned Camera app for iOS 19 was shared. According to Prosser, the new Camera app will feature a much cleaner look with a translucent background.

Key changes include:

Simplified Options – The app now offers just two main options: Photo and Video. Selecting either unlocks additional features.
Photo Features – Includes depth, spatial, pano and style.
Video Features – Offers slo-mo, timelapse and action modes.
Quick Settings on Top – Users can now easily adjust the resolution and frame rate for videos right from the top of the screen.

Prosser explained that this redesign takes cues from visionOS hinting that the new Camera app might be part of a broader UI overhaul in iOS 19. This would mark a significant departure from the familiar iOS design, which has remained largely consistent for years.

In recent updates, Apple has gradually introduced more customisation options for the iOS interface. However, a visionOS-inspired UI would be the most dramatic design change in years, giving iOS a more modern and unified appearance across devices.

While the final design of the Camera app might differ from what was shown in Prosser’s video, it offers a clear idea of what Apple could be working on.

iOS 19 – Expected Release and Compatibility

iOS 19 is expected to launch later this year likely coinciding with the release of the iPhone 17. However, we might get an early preview of its features at WWDC in June.

Leaked details about iOS 19’s compatibility suggest it will support older devices like the iPhone 11, iPhone XR and even the iPhone SE (2020). Apple’s commitment to providing software updates for older models continues to set it apart from competitors.
