Description:
iOS 19 could have Android-like app icons and a glassy design according to the 
latest leak  but don't count on it.

FULL STORY
======================================================================A 
possible iOS 19 design has been shown off in a video App icons look a bit 
more circular and Android-like However, there's reason to doubt the accuracy 
of this leak 

One of the more consistent rumors weve heard about iOS 19 is that it will 
usher in a major redesign, and look quite different to iOS 18 as a result. 
Exactly what it will look like, however, is disputed. 

Leaker Jon Prosser claims to have a good idea though, having followed up an 
early look at the possible design of Apples upcoming software with a new 
YouTube video (via AppleInsider ), showing a mock-up of iOS 19 thats 
supposedly based on a more recent build. 

If the video is accurate, iOS 19 could be taking some inspiration from 
Android, as the app icons are shown as being more circular than in iOS 18, 
bringing them more in line with some Android skins. 

Other changes include a more glass-like design, with some translucent 
elements to the interface, and some visionOS-inspired parts, such as a new 
pill-shaped bar at the bottom of many built-in apps. Don't count on this 

You can see all this in the video, but its worth taking these images with a 
serious helping of salt. For one thing, Prosser has a mixed track record  he 
has accurately leaked some things in the past, but he's also been very wrong 
about others. 

For another thing, when Prosser previously leaked iOS 19, Apple watcher Mark 
Gurman (who has a much better track record) posted on X saying the images 
arent representative. This time around he simply reposted that message , so 
hes seemingly no more confident about Prossers updated iOS 19 information 
than he was about the original leak. 

Whos right here? We probably wont know for sure until WWDC 2025 in June, 
where Apple is likely to announce the new operating system. Given Gurmans 
better track record though, were skeptical of this leak. 

Its worth noting, though, that Gurman himself has said to expect a redesign 
of some kind, so were likely to see big changes in iOS 19  it just might not 
look like this. You might also like Time to upgrade? These iPhones and iPads
