Reports are that Apple is bringing a radically new design to iOS with iOS 19.

Mark Gurman, on Bloomberg’s Power Up

“The revamp — due later this year — will fundamentally change the look of the operating systems and make Apple’s various software platforms more consistent, according to people familiar with the effort. That includes updating the style of icons, menus, apps, windows and system buttons.

As part of the push, the company is working to simplify the way users navigate and control their devices, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the project hasn’t been announced. The design is loosely based on the Vision Pro’s software”

Designer Eli Johnson made a brilliant concept of what that iOS redesign could look like based off of the design of the current Apple Photos, Sports, and Invites app that was recently released. Even Jon Prosser, popular Apple leaker, on Front Page Tech leaked a vision of what he saw as the new Camera app design on iOS 19.

Personally, I welcome it and I’m looking forward to this new era of UI from Apple because it’s a long time coming.

Since I’ve been working on my own app for Android, I’ve been paying more attention to the front end app designs. I’m sure it’s not a surprise, but though I do like Apple’s new glass-like visionOS and what Apple plans to do with their OSes across the Apple space, I’ve realized how much I enjoy Google’s joyful and human Material Design.

Aside from material design not compromising form or function, it just feels more joyful and human to use compared to Apple’s more cold, yet utopian sci-fi leaning design.
