"The last new Apple app, Apple Sports, already felt out of place in iOS 18," wrote Ortolani. "It has a more visionOS or watchOS-like design language utilizing colorful backgrounds, glassy floating UI elements, expanding buttons, and lots of layered shapes. Apple Invites takes it all even further. It's got big beautiful cards, translucent cells, big bold buttons, and an emphasis on content. It feels so clearly like a hint of what is to come in a future iOS update."
It seems like a reasonable possibility that this "glassy" design could extend to other iOS 19 apps and interfaces, although this is purely speculation for now.
Apple should announce iOS 19 at WWDC 2025 in June.

Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name.
The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...

I'll be glad if that's true. Ever since iOS shifted to their text-as-buttons aesthetic, I've had numerous problems navigating, often by hitting the wrong area of the word (which produces nothing, with no feedback). There's a reason Steve Jobs liked the work of Scott Forstall; he understood intuitive interfaces.
just don't make "dark mode" the default, worse, the Sports app is white/gray on black background with no option to change, really hard to impossible to read in sunlight.
What's the point of putting bigger screens if they're going to put the equivalent of software bezels so it can display the same amount of information as a smaller screen on an older iOS?
Apple's first foldable iPhone, with a book-style design featuring a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display with a minimal crease down the middle.
