Apple is currently preparing for the launch of its new operating system, iOS 19, and the tech world is eagerly awaiting the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2025.
Technology: Apple appears fully prepared to unveil its new mobile operating system, iOS 19. It is expected to be showcased at its annual WWDC 2025 event in June 2025. This year, Apple is not only delivering a system update but also preparing to offer an AI-powered iOS experience.
While Apple has previously lagged behind companies like Google and Microsoft in AI integration, it now plans to change the game with its Apple Intelligence features.
What's special about iOS 19?
1. The Complete Apple Intelligence Package
While iOS 18 integrated AI in a limited capacity, iOS 19 will fully integrate Apple's own AI technology – Apple Intelligence. This will offer users features such as smart note suggestions, image generation, multi-action execution on voice commands, and personalized recommendations based on individual data. Apple's AI will be based entirely on on-device processing, ensuring data security.
2. Third-Party AI Support
A major surprise is Apple's planned support for third-party AI LLMs. Reports suggest iOS 19 might integrate Google Gemini or other third-party AI tools. This means users will be able to go beyond Siri's limitations, enabling more in-depth searches and query resolution.
3. Major UI Overhaul – Customization Freedom
iOS 19 will see Apple take significant steps towards a more user-friendly interface. Users will gain:
- The option for circular app icons
- Flexible home screen placement
- Redesigned widgets
- Support for multiple info blocks on the lock screen
For the first time, Apple is loosening its strict design framework, offering users greater personalization options.
4. Stage Manager and External Display Support
iOS 19 is likely to introduce a Stage Manager-like feature when iPhones are connected to external displays, a feature previously exclusive to iPads and Macs. This will allow users to run multiple apps simultaneously in a multi-window view. This feature could be a game-changer, especially for professional users and multitaskers.
5. Smart AI in iMessages and Mail
Apple is focusing on making its messaging and email apps smarter. iOS 19 is expected to include AI-powered auto-responses, smart classification, and context-based suggestions in iMessages and Mail. This will significantly simplify managing emails and chats.
Why is iOS 19 Special?
Apple has always prioritized privacy and stability. This is why the company has implemented AI features cautiously and gradually. However, with other companies transforming mobile operating systems using AI, Apple is poised to reassert its relevance in the AI race through iOS 19.
