when the Apple Vision Pro inspires the iPhone of the future

The developers of Apple Park in Cupertino are currently going through a complicated period. Mark Gurman revealed last month that an unusual delay in the deployment of new features in iOS 18 would be the cause.

This delay would have a direct impact on the preparation of the next major version of the iPhone operating system. This is of course iOS 19, which should arrive in September 2025, if Apple follows its usual schedule.

If a delay is looming regarding the integration of several important additions in iOS 19, Jon Prosser, famous for his precise leaks concerning Apple products, has just revealed a major change that could arrive as soon as iOS 19 is released.

A visionOS-style redesign for the Camera app

According to Jon Prosser, famous leaker and host of the YouTube channel Front Page Tech, iOS 19 will welcome a Completely redesigned Camera appinspired by the visionOS interface, the operating system of the Apple Vision Pro.

Jon Prosser obtained images from the new app, but chose to recreate his own renders to protect his sources. We discover there translucent menus for the different camera controls, with a design very similar to that of visionOS.

The controls are split into two categories, photo and video, with options for recording spatial video, enabling a self-timer for photos, and more. Additional commands for resolution and frame rate of videos appear at the top of the screen if necessary.

Clean aesthetics for a better experience

Overall, the new design offers a more refined aestheticwith more of the screen dedicated to showing what the camera captures, compared to iOS 18. This redesign could foreshadow broader design changes in iOS 19, extending to other interfaces and native apps .

Jon Prosser, for example, imagined this translucent design applied to the home screen widgets:

Below is the video to see what iOS 19 could look like according to the videographer. The proposal is as a reminder based according to him on real leaks from Apple:

This is of course only speculation at this point. iOS 19 should be announced at WWDC 2025 in June, for release in September.
