Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is right around the corner—kicking off on Monday, June 9. It’s the event where Apple shows off all the new stuff coming to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
The big star of the show? iOS 19. Every year, Apple unveils the next version of iOS at WWDC, and this year is no different. There’s already a lot of buzz about what’s coming, and it sounds like we might be in for a major redesign.
Some sources say iOS 19 could bring the biggest visual update since iOS 7 back in 2013. If you remember that release, it completely changed how your phone looked—moving away from realistic-looking buttons and icons (like a calculator with 3D buttons) to the flat, modern design we see today.
We don’t know exactly what iOS 19 will look like, but the word is it’ll feel more “slick” and “modern.” It might even help unify Apple’s product lineup to match the look and feel of newer devices like the Vision Pro headset.
Of course, AI will be another hot topic. Apple hasn’t made a huge splash in artificial intelligence just yet, but you can bet they’ll double down on it at WWDC. Expect to hear about new ways AI will be baked into your iPhone and other Apple devices.
Also, if you’re a developer, you’ll likely get access to the first beta version of iOS 19 on day one of the event. This early version helps Apple gather feedback and polish the software before it officially launches alongside the iPhone 17 later this year.
And it’s not just iOS getting an update—Apple is also set to reveal iPadOS 19 and macOS 16. Those betas should drop the same day, giving developers a first look at what’s coming across all platforms.
Bottom line: WWDC25 is shaping up to be a big one, especially if you’re into design changes, new software features, or just want to see what’s next for your Apple gear.
