Yet another report is claiming thatiPhones released in 2018 won’t support iOS 19.
A video claims to show offmore elements of the rumored iOS 19 redesign.
The iPhone XR (left) and iPhone 13 (right) are both expected to run iOS 19.
That’s apparently changing with iOS 19.
There’s few specific details on what’s changing with iOS 19.
Read on for a closer look at what we know about iOS 19 so far.
iOS 19 could have a very different look from iOS 18 (shown here).
A few weeks later, public betas become available.
Apple would then would spend the summer updating that software based on feedback from beta testers.
One report contends thatthe same phones capable of running iOS 18 will be compatible with iOS 19.
That would mean every iPhone from theiPhone XRandiPhone XS/XS Maxonward, including any devices Apple releases in the fall.
And this same account was reportedly right about iOS 18 compatibility a year ago.
That’s typically of past iOS updates, with some features requiring specific chipsets so you can work.
One of the guiding ideas is apparently to make the iPhone easier to navigate.
A report from last year claimed thatApple was postponing many iOS 19 featuresuntil later on.
But somesignificant AI capabilities involving the Siri digital assistantare not among those coming changes.
Siri is also supposed to add support in-app actions.
We could be in for an even longer wait for a more conversational Siri.
That feature’s now being tipped for iOS 20.
For what it’s worth, Apple Intelligence does figure to play a significant role in iOS 19.
Another Gurman report claims thatmore apps in the software update will take advantage of Apple Intelligence’s smarts.
Health tracking might be a major focus of iOS 19’s AI features.
The Health app in iOS 19 could also gain food-tracking capabilities.
We’ll see if the changes stop there or if iOS 19 brings additional updates to existing apps.
