Apple's style has changed drastically, and the iOS 19 interface will undergo major changes!

Apple fans have been expecting Apple to thoroughly upgrade the interface of iOS for many years, bringing a brand new visual experience. However, this expectation has been repeatedly dashed in the past few years, and the overall style of Apple's iOS system has remained stable without major changes.

Recently, there have been some leaks about the iOS 19 system that will be released this year, and the focus is still on whether the interface design will be upgraded.

Some time ago, whistleblower Jon Prosser said that Apple might redesign the iOS 19 camera app and add visionOS-style menus and buttons. This news made many people look forward to the UI changes of iOS 19.

At the same time, some netizens speculated that the system interface of iOS 19 may undergo more adjustments based on the design style of Apple’s latest Apple Invites application.

Foreign blogger Parker Ortolani said that the design language of this new app has shown a clear visionOS or watchOS style, and this design language may reveal Apple's future design direction.

The blogger pointed out that some new apps launched by Apple in recent years have begun to move closer to the design language of visionOS. For example, the Apple Sports app launched last year and the latest Apple Invites app both adopt a more futuristic design style.

He analyzed that the design of Apple Sports has shown a style that is slightly "incompatible" with the current iOS system. It uses bright background colors, "glass-textured" floating UI elements, dynamically expandable buttons, and a large number of layer overlay designs, which make it look more like a part of visionOS or watchOS rather than a traditional iOS application.

The latest Apple Invites further strengthens this design language. The app has a large card-style layout, a translucent background, eye-catching and easy-to-touch buttons, and a higher focus on content display. These designs are refreshing, but also out of tune with other interfaces of the current iOS 18 system.

Although these changes currently only appear in individual new apps, their design style does make people wonder whether Apple is preparing for an interface upgrade for iOS 19?

However, these speculations have not yet been confirmed. Considering that Apple's current development focus is more on AI functions, perhaps it does not have enough resources and time to completely reconstruct the entire system interface.

It is more likely that Apple will adopt a gradual transition strategy, gradually updating the design of some core applications and slowly moving the UI in a new direction.

According to Apple's usual practice, iOS 19 will be officially unveiled at this year's WWDC 2025 Global Developers Conference, which is expected to be held in June. At that time, the interface design and function upgrades of iOS 19 will be revealed. Stay tuned and look forward to more surprises from WWDC 2025!

It is speculated that Apple may push the first Beta version of iOS 18.4 to developers next week, and the official version is expected to be launched in April.
