Late final month we confirmed you a mock-up of what was claimed by FPT’s Jon Prosser to be
the Messages app redesigned for iOS 19. Among the many modifications, softer, rounded corners for the phrase suggestion bins are discovered on high of the digital QWERTY keyboard, and spherical “bubbles” encircle the again arrow on the highest left and the FaceTime/Share Display menu icon on the highest proper of the display screen. Moreover, there are menus that ape the look of
visionOS, and the
iOS 19 mock-up contains translucent digicam controls.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman questioned the authenticity of the leaks, particularly in gentle of his earlier assertion that iOS 19 can be “Probably the most vital replace” to iOS in years. However now Prosser has returned with extra photographs of the following main iOS construct. He says that app icons will not be precisely spherical like in visionOS, however are formed someplace between the present design and the circle utilized in watchOS and visionOS.
It appears as if Apple will add extra depth and shadows to menus and shifting the iPhone display screen will make some components shimmer. As Prosser notes, this helps the weather look as if they’re product of glass. The App Retailer bar will float as a brand new UI surfaces while you faucet the Search tab. The search area on the Messages app will transfer to the underside of the display screen.
A video launched by Prosser reveals what he calls “probably the most full construct of
iOS 19 but.” He provides that it’s the closest factor to a ultimate construct that you will see earlier than Apple previews the brand new cellular working system at WWDC 2025 coming this June. Earlier than you click on on the video, be warned. The primary couple of minutes proceed the continuing battle between Prosser and Gurman. Really, it at all times seems to be Prosser in opposition to Gurman because the latter has by no means left any indication that he is aware of Jon is alive. However that is one other story for an additional day.
What’s vital is that Prosser did replace his new mock-ups to incorporate the rounder (however not completely spherical) app icons that he says
Apple was hiding behind the old-style app icons in earlier check variations of
iOS 19. Apple did this to stop the brand new look from leaking out within the case that somebody leaves a tool with a check model of
iOS 19 at a bar in San Jose. However I am simply babbling;
one thing like that might by no means occur. Or may it?Away from the revamped working system, Prosser’s video notes that there’s one massive change coming to the
iPhone 17 Professional and
iPhone 17 Professional Max digicam. It’s a function that Samsung first launched in 2013 on the Galaxy S4. It permits customers to report video from their front and back cameras concurrently. That is what passes as progress typically by Apple.
Did Prosser and his sources nail it this time? We’d know by the point the Keynote is over.
