New iOS 19 Leak Allegedly Reveals Updated Icons, Floating Tab Bar, More [Video]

A new leak from Jon Prosser claims to offer the most comprehensive look yet at iOS 19, Apple's next major operating system update. In a video posted to the FrontPageTech YouTube channel today, Prosser showcases a series of design changes allegedly sourced from an internal build. "You're about to see the biggest iOS leak... ever," he declares, positioning this as a significant reveal while addressing skepticism from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman about prior leaks.The leak highlights new app icons with "a corner radius of about 30, give or take," striking a balance between the square icons of iOS 18 and the circular ones in visionOS, which powers Apple Vision Pro. Prosser explains that earlier builds hid these changes, noting, "Apple was hiding new icons behind the old ones," likely as a precaution if a device were spotted in public. He adds that final icons might still become "perfect circles," though he hasn't seen that yet.System-wide animations also stand out. Elements like toggle switches and lock screen features "shimmered as you moved the device," enhancing the glassy aesthetic Apple seems to be chasing. The Control Center gets minor updates, with "rounder" brightness and volume sliders. Native apps like Music and the App Store feature a new "Tab View" dock at the bottom, which Prosser calls "way more fluid and bouncy," inspired by Dynamic Island animations. He notes this floating tab bar, internally seen as an evolution of Apple's existing Tab View, will extend to third-party apps for consistency.Continue ReadingShare Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, EmailFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube
