Last year, the iOS 18 update created a huge buzz among iPhone users due to the introduction of Apple Intelligence, new customisation features, and a major UI revamp. Now, cut to the current scenario; several iOS 18 features are yet to be released to iPhone users as Apple opted for a gradual rollout. This decision did not sit well with users as they have been waiting for an AI upgrade for years, and such a delay is causing major confusion as to whether they should buy the latest iPhone models or not. Now, as get closer to the iOS 19 showcase at the WWDC 2025, we have greater expectations for timely releases and more AI features that could compete with other leading devices from Samsung, Google, and other Chinese OEMs. Therefore, know what the iOS 19 update will look like and what new features we want to see.
