iOS 19 will be one of the most dramatic software overhauls in Apples history, according to a new report from Bloomberg. This will include some of the biggest design changes weve seen in over a decade. The company is reportedly planning similar updates for Mac and iPad as well. The goal is to make Apples platforms more consistent. iOS 19: The biggest revamp since iOS 7The report outlines that the changes will go well beyond a new design language and aesthetic tweaks. For the iPhone, it will allegedly be the biggest revamp since iOS 7 in 2013. As a refresher, iOS 7 marked a dramatic top-down redesign of the iPhones software interface, setting the stage for the next era of Apples design language. For the Mac, Bloomberg says macOS 16 will mark the most significant upgrade to the Mac since macOS Big Sur was released in 2020. macOS Big Sur brought significant design changes to the Dock, Notification Center, Messages, and more.As part of the revamp, Apple will update the style of icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons. The new design is loosely based on visionOS, and Apples goal is to make the design of its software platforms more consistent, the report says. Apple also plans to simplify the way users navigate and control their devices.More information on what exactly Apple has planned for iOS 19 and its other updates remains to be seen. The report doesnt dive into specific details about iOS 19 design changes, new features, and more. A previous rumor suggested that iOS 19 will significantly overhaul the Camera app. Apple will announce iOS 19 at WWDC in June, followed by several months of beta testing. The update will be released to everyone in September alongside the iPhone 17 lineup. What changes do you think Apple should make as part of iOS 19?
