The excitement surrounding iOS 19 continues to build as Jon Prosser, the YouTuber and tech leaker, recently shared more images from what he claims is an internal build of Apple’s next iOS update.
The leaked images provide a sneak peek at some of the changes users can expect, including revamped app icons, floating bars, and a more immersive user interface inspired by visionOS.
Redesigned Icons
According to Prosser, iOS 19 will feature new app icons with a shape that falls between the current design and a perfect circle, offering a more rounded appearance. This change will likely make the icons look fresher, although they won’t be as circular as those found in visionOS or watchOS. Users can also anticipate an overhaul of the system’s Tab View within apps, which will now resemble the floating tab style found in visionOS.
In addition to the new shapes, users will notice a more three-dimensional interface, with elements that shimmer and cast shadows when the device is moved, giving a sense of depth to the screen.

Another significant change involves the introduction of floating bars in apps like Music and the App Store, where users will interact with a new interface for the Search tab.
