iOS 19 is expected to come with a refreshed interface aimed at creating a cohesive look across Apple’s ecosystem, including iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The update will focus on enhanced customizations, integrating Focus Modes into Control Center, expansion of widgets, smarter suggestions, and better organization with context-aware formatting throughout. iPad OS 19 will get similar design changes and AI enhancements as iOS 19.

2. watchOS 12

The updated watchOS 12 is expected to get new features like the integration of Apple Intelligence. While not all AI features might be included at the beginning, the company might introduce select features that rely on the iPhone for processing. Apple Watch might act as a command hub for AI-driven tasks.

Apart from apple intelligence, watchOS 12 will get design tweaks too. Mark Gurman claims watchOS will feature new interface elements like advanced health monitoring tools, updated training metrics in Fitness app and more.

3. visionOS 3

Details about the next-gen visionOS 3 are limited, but it is expected to get notable improvements and new features. Apple might focus on UI refinements and deeper Apple Intelligence integration. A more affordable Vision Pro headset is also on the way, so fans are surely excited about it.

4. Smarter Siri

Siri is expected to get long-awaited improvements with iOS 19. It will introduce on-screen awareness powered by Apple Intelligence so users will be able to perform more complex tasks effortlessly. Voice assistant will be able to extract info from the screen, offer cross-app functionality, and enhance hands-free usage.

5. Apple Intelligence

Even though AI features announced in 2024 are yet to roll out, Apple might hover over this category in WWDC 2025. AI might be a key topic at the upcoming conference, but since Apple has been facing problems in rolling out AI capabilities, the company might take it slow this time.

The next tvOS 19 update will include new screensavers, insight updates, improved TV app integrations, and a potential redesign.
