Clues Pointing to the Next Big iOS 19 Makeover
Clues About iOS 19's Design Revamp
Apple is reportedly planning a major design overhaul for iOS 19, which will be the biggest revamp since iOS 7 in 2013. Here are some key insights and clues:
- Avoiding Tab Bars: Recent Apple apps like Journal, Sports, and Invites have moved away from traditional tab bars, instead using single-page scrolling interfaces with hidden navigation menus near the header.
- VisionOS Influence: iOS 19's design is expected to be loosely based on visionOS, featuring elements such as glassy floating UI components, layered shapes, and bold buttons.
- New Design Language: Apps like Apple Sports and Invites showcase a more modern design with colorful backgrounds and an emphasis on content.
- Risks and Future Potential: Despite the risks associated with a major redesign, iOS 19 is seen as a crucial step to prepare for the iPhone's future, especially with the upcoming iPhone 17 Air and possible iPhone 17 Ultra.
