Based on reports, iOS 19 could be taking its cues from visionOS, the software that powers Apple's Vision Pro headset. And as Gurman noted, those changes are also coming to iPads and Macs to deliver a more unified experience across Apple's different hardware offerings.

Apple Inc. is preparing for what Mark Gurman described as "one of the most dramatic software overhauls" in the iPhone maker's history, with iOS 19 set to transform the smartphone's interface later in 2025.
