I wonder if that’s gonna make the UI smoother there was a mention of how it was back in iOS 7.

Let’s hope the long wait will eventually be worth it because apart from being able to access Chat GPT, I find Siri these days is quite stupid. When I upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro I knew that some apple Intelligence features were not coming until iOS 18.2, 18.3 and 18.4, but I am disappointed that Apple has not been able to implement what they said was coming a year ago.   From: 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2025 12:48 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: WWDC is Just Two Weeks Away: Here Are the Biggest iOS 19 Rumors   WWDC 2025 is just two weeks away as of today, with Apple's opening keynote scheduled for Monday, June 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. During the keynote, Apple is expected to announce iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, tvOS 19, visionOS 3, and other software updates, along with new Apple Intelligence features. In some years, there are also hardware announcements at WWDC, but there are no rumors yet about new devices being on deck for this year's conference. Below, we recap key iOS 19 rumors to know about as the developer conference nears. The first beta of iOS 19 should be seeded to developers immediately after the WWDC keynote, and the update is expected to be released in September. New Design With Floating Tab Bar iOS 19 is expected to introduce a new design that looks more like the visionOS operating system on the Apple Vision Pro headset. According to Front Page Tech's Jon Prosser, iOS 19 will have a glass-like appearance, with added translucency for menus, buttons, and more. He also expects a new floating tab barto be shown at the bottom of some of Apple's built-in apps. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also expects iOS 19 to have a visionOS-like design, and he said the design changes would be the biggest since iOS 7. The design changes should extend to iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, and tvOS 19. Stage Manager for iPhones In April, a leaker known as Majin Bu claimed that iOS 19 will enable support for at least a limited version of Stage Manager on iPhone models with a USB-C port. In a blog post citing sources, the leaker said that when an iPhone with a USB-C port is connected to an external display, users will be able to take advantage of a Stage Manager-like interface with multiple apps open at once on the screen. However, he said that there might be more limitations compared to Stage Manager on iPads. iPhone models with a USB-C port include all iPhone 15 models and newer. iPhones with both Lightning and USB-C ports can already be connected to external displays, but only for basic screen mirroring. New Battery Mode iOS 19 will include a new AI-powered battery management mode for all iPhone models that are compatible with the software update, according to Gurman. He said this enhancement will "analyze how a person uses their device and make adjustments to conserve energy," paving the way for longer battery life. End-to-End Encryption for RCS In March, Apple said that it plans to add support for end-to-end encrypted RCS messages to the Messages app in future iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS software updates. That likely means iOS 19, macOS 16, and other corresponding updates. Apple promising end-to-end encryption for RCS messages indirectly confirms that it will be adopting the RCS Universal Profile 3.0 specification, which also includes several iMessage-like enhancements that were originally introduced in version 2.7 of the specification. iOS 18 supports RCS Universal Profile 2.4. Here are five new capabilities to expect for RCS conversations on iOS 19: iMessage conversations with blue bubbles have supported end-to-end encryption by default since iOS 5. In addition, iMessage has supported in-line replies since iOS 14, while the options to edit and unsend iMessages were introduced with iOS 16. Apple has not indicated which iOS version will upgrade RCS, but iOS 19 or a follow-up update like iOS 19.1 or iOS 19.2 seems like a safe bet. New Accessibility Features Earlier this month, Apple previewed new accessibility features that are expected to debut across iOS 19 and other software updates. An overview of some of the new features: Live Translate With AirPods At least some AirPods models will be getting a new live translation feature with iOS 19 and an accompanying firmware update, according to Gurman. Here is how that feature will work, according to his report: The capability will work like this: If an English speaker is hearing someone talk in Spanish, the iPhone will translate the speech and relay it to the user's AirPods in English. The English speaker's words, meanwhile, will be translated into Spanish and played back by the iPhone. Google already offers a similar Live Translate feature. He also said iOS 19 will have bolstered translation capabilities, which likely means improvements are coming to the Apple Translate app. Original source:    https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/26/wwdc-2025-ios-19-rumor-recap/         Richard, USA "While striving for perfection, let us do what is possible." -- John Wesley   My web site: https://www.turner42.com   (sent from my iPhone 16 pro) c   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
