Apple’s WWDC 2025 to spotlight iOS 19 redesign and AI push

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 is set to kick off on June 9, and all eyes are on the Cupertino tech giant’s expected unveiling of major software updates. This year, the focus is likely to be on iOS 19, iPadOS 19 and enhanced artificial intelligence capabilities, positioning Apple to compete in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.

The anticipated iOS 19 update is expected to bring one of the most significant design overhauls since iOS 7. Leaks suggest a new interface inspired by visionOS, including translucent menus, rounded icons and redesigned apps like Camera and Messages. These visual changes aim to unify the experience across devices while providing a fresh look for iPhone users.

A major part of iOS 19’s appeal will likely be its integration with Apple’s AI engine, widely speculated to be introduced under the branding 'Apple Intelligence'. Upgrades to Siri are expected to feature prominently, including a more natural conversational tone, the ability to understand screen content, and support for multi-step actions across apps.

On the tablet front, iPadOS 19 is set to bridge the divide between iPads and desktop devices. Apple may introduce floating, resizable app windows, improved external display support and new capabilities for the Apple Pencil, making iPads more powerful productivity tools for creative professionals and general users alike.

Device compatibility for iOS 19 may include iPhones from the 11 series onward, with models like the iPhone XR and XS potentially being phased out of software support. A public beta version is expected to be released shortly after the WWDC keynote, with a full rollout likely to coincide with the iPhone 17 launch later this year.

As WWDC 2025 approaches, Apple fans and developers alike are eager to see how the company blends AI advancements with its signature hardware-software integration, setting the tone for the next chapter in its ecosystem.
