Although we are always in the iOS 18 era, we already hear key rumors on iOS 19, the next big update of Apple’s iPhone software.
From speculation on new features to the possibility of a redesigning overhaul, there is already a lot of buzz on what Apple could bring to its mobile operating system.
In addition, there could be enormous new features of Apple Intelligence on the way, Siri specifically ready for a overhaul.
Continue to read for an overview of everything you need to know so far on iOS 19.

- What is this? The next major iPhone operating system update
- When did it come out? Probably September
- Who will get it? If you have bought a new iPhone in the past five years, you can probably go to iOS 19
IOS 19: Rumors of release date
IOS 19 will probably be launched in September 2025, alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and possible iPhone 17.
Although we have not yet heard solid rumors on the exact output dates, Apple normally launches the big updates of the version of iOS alongside this year’s iPhone range.
Likewise, we do not know with certainty when the family of the iPhone 17 will be released, but Apple stayed in September for many years, so it looks like a safe bet.
iOS 19: new rumor features
iOS 19 should be launched with a multitude of new useful features, ranging from revised applications to an Siri to Apple Intelligence, finally.
A new camera application
IOS 19 could bring with him a redesigned camera application, taking visionos design signals.
We previously heard that this could be part of a wider user interface overhaul that would extend this visionos inspiration in the set of iOS, but at the time of writing, we only saw supposed screenshots of the new camera application.
The redesigned application deletes the size of the current interface, using transparent icons rather and overlays to store options in the menus.
Apple Intelligence, meet Siri
Siri had to obtain a significant upgrade of Apple’s intelligence at a given time during the IOS 18 life cycle, but Apple is now supposed to bring users this update later this year (like Daring Fireball reports)
For us, this suggests that Siri could get his long-awaited overhaul with iOS 19, either at launch or during an mid-year update.
As we have recently covered, Siri is of course a decent update – she currently finds it difficult to answer even the basic questions.
RCS encryption
Apple made waves at the end of last year by allowing RCS messaging on iOS, but users were left without access to one of the main advantages of end -to -end encryption of the RCS.
End -to -end encryption secures messages by blurring them in code which is only decipherable by the sender and the recipient – which effectively means that your message cannot be understood if it is intercepted.
We expect a new RCS standard developed by the GSM Association and the partners, including Apple, to come to iOS 19, finally giving Apple users all RCS ‘capabilities.
Airpods could get a live translation
While Macrumors summarizes, a report by Mark Gurman by Bloomberg suggests that Iirpods could obtain the possibility of translating spoken language in real time thanks to a new Apple Intelligence feature in iOS 19.
Gurman is the most important source for Apple’s rumors and ideas, which gives this rumor an additional weight.
The way it works so-called consists in picking up speaking with AirPods microphones and relaying the audio translated via airpod speakers. The AirPods carrier will then have his speech picked up and relayed by their iPhone speaker, theoretically allowing a conversation.
There could also be updates of assistants on the path of iPhone translation capacity.
IOS 19: Rumors of redesign
One of the largest rumors of iOS 19 that we have seen so far concerns a design overhaul for the Apple user interface, as we have not seen for more than ten years.
The word of an overhaul comes from Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, so although it is still an unofficial rumor, there is weight behind. Gurman has an excellent assessment, although he tends to ignore over time. He turned things wrong.
The rumor says that iOS 19 would bring the greatest overhaul of the iPhone software experience since the launch of iOS 7 alongside the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C.
This overhaul can be inspired by Apple Vision Pro Visionos software, introducing more circular elements and using transparent overlays.
We recently reported an supposed screen capture disclosed by a new camera application that follows this new design philosophy inspired by Visionos.
iOS 19: Rumor compatible devices
The list of devices compatible with iOS 19 will probably resemble the list of devices compatible with iOS 18, although naturally extended to include the iPhone 17 family.
Conversely, we can see Apple Drop Support for the oldest iPhones currently supported – the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR.
However, this loss of support for older iPhones is not ensured – the models mentioned above were all eligible for going to iOS 18, although it is also the oldest phones to execute iOS 17.
In any case, it is a fairly sure bet that all iPhones left next or after the iPhone 11 will support iOS 19.
