Appearance iOS 19 is inspired visionOS
The aforementioned video from the Front channel Page Tech revealed interesting things about the possible appearance iOS 19. It seems like we're in for a major visual change this year – iOS 19 is to adopt design elements from visionOS, operating system for Apple Vision Pro. iOS 19 should offer a higher level of transparency across the user interface – from buttons to menus to notifications. The effect is reminiscent of the layers of glass we know from visionOS, and brings a more modern and "lighter" look to the system.

The most notable change is that the app icons will be more rounded. According to Jon Prosser, this is a significant departure from the previous "squircle" icons (rounded squares). However, it is not certain whether this will be a fully circular design like in visionOS. Interestingly, the new icons are in internal builds iOS 19 hidden – after a long press, they supposedly switch to a rounder shape with an animation. Apple perhaps trying to keep the surprise until the official presentation at WWDC.
iOS 19 will bring a modernized pill-shaped bottom navigation bar that will appear in native apps like App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Messages or Phone. It will be newly supplemented with a more prominent search bar with a round button to return to the full menu, while the transitions between tabs will be accompanied by smooth animations. In addition, the search field will be permanently displayed in the Messages application. The rounded visual style will also be reflected in other parts of the system. The Settings application will get thinner switches and the keyboard will undergo subtle adjustments to better align with the overall look. iOS 19 will also add subtle lighting effects, such as those for the flashlight and camera buttons on the lock screen, which create a shimmering effect when the device is moved.
