AI-powered Siri enhancements, a redesigned Camera app, and design modifications influenced by visionOS are all expected in iOS 19. It is anticipated to be unveiled by Apple at WWDC 2025 and made available to the public in September.

Updated Camera App

A revamped Camera app is expected to be one of iOS 19’s main features. According to reports, Apple is improving the user experience by including transparent menus that resemble those seen in VisionOS.

A wider viewfinder made possible by the new Camera app could increase framing accuracy. Furthermore, controls should be separated into separate Photo and Video categories, with timing, resolution, and spatial video recording choices that change dynamically according to use.

AI-Driven Siri Updates

In iOS 19, Siri will get significant AI-driven improvements. According to reports, Apple is using sophisticated large language models (LLMs) to give Siri greater interaction and the ability to manage intricate discussions, much like ChatGPT and other AI chatbots.

Although WWDC 2025 may provide a sneak peek at these enhancements, other rumors indicate that full-fledged AI integration may not happen until iOS 20 in 2026. In the meantime, ChatGPT support was included in iOS 18.2 recently, and iOS 18.4 and 18.5 are anticipated to bring further AI-powered innovations.

Rollout of Features in Phases

Apple is probably going to keep introducing new features one at a time. Like the staged feature releases in iOS 18, iOS 19 upgrades could be issued in stages from iOS 19.1 to iOS 19.4, rather than introducing all features at once.

Devices Compatible with iOS 19

All iPhones running iOS 18 will be supported by iOS 19, according to leaks. It is anticipated that the list of compatible devices will consist of:

The 16e, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max models of the iPhone 16 series
Series of iPhone 15 (15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max)
iPhone 14 series, including the 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max models
Series of iPhone 13 (13, 13 mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max)
Twelve, twelve mini, twelve pro, and twelve pro max iPhone models
iPhone 11 (11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max) series
iPhone SE (2nd generation and later), iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR
Anticipated Date of Release

At WWDC 2025 in June, Apple is expected to reveal iOS 19, which will be followed by a developer beta. The final public release is scheduled for September 11–13, 2025, which coincides with the introduction of the iPhone 17.

iOS 19 is expected to be a major update for Apple consumers everywhere, with AI-powered innovations and an improved user experience.
