According to Bloomberg, Apple has been working on a new interface for iOS and macOS, which will make both operating systems more similar to visionOS. What exactly this means remains to be seen, but now an alleged leaked screenshot of iOS 19 shows us what to expect from the new design.iOS 19 to have a new interface, but it may not be radically differentThe screenshot shared by YouTuber Jon Prosser shows Apples Messages app. While most of the interface looks the same, we can see slightly redesigned buttons at the top. The buttons are now covered by a circle with a reflective glass effect, similar to visionOS. The iPhones virtual keyboard also seems to have been slightly redesigned, now with more rounded edges.Also according to Prosser, users expecting a major redesign may end up getting disappointed. Thats because his sources claim that the new interface wont be radically different from the current one, although it will in fact have more elements inspired by the Apple Vision Pro operating system.The YouTuber was the first to suggest that Apple has been working on a new interface for iOS 19. He shared a mockup of what could be a brand new Camera app for the iPhone with buttons floating on the screen. The rumor was corroborated by Bloombergs Mark Gurman, who said earlier this month that iOS 19 and macOS 16 will mark the most significant upgrade to the interface in years.To back up the rumors, the WWDC 2025 artwork unveiled today is heavily inspired by visionOS, with glass-like elements, depth and shadows.The last time Apple completely redesigned iOS was in 2013 with iOS 7. Then, in 2020, the company introduced macOS Big Sur with slightly 3D icons, which raised questions about whether or when Apple would bring this same icon style to iOS. Given recent events, a redesign now seems more likely.You can watch the part where Prosser talks about the iOS 19 leak in the video below at 42:50:Apple will unveil iOS 19 at WWDC 2025 on June 9.
