 "Apple’s iPhone 17 and iOS 19 to get a redesigned Camera App based on the Vision Pro")
Apple is preparing a major redesign for its Camera app with the upcoming iOS 19 and the iPhone 17. According to reports from Front Page Tech and MacRumors, the new version of the app will be more fluid, adapting its layout as users switch between different photo and video modes.
This update is expected to make the Camera app more intuitive and easier to use, with a design inspired by the software found on the Apple Vision Pro. The revamped app could bring exciting changes for those who rely on their iPhones for daily photography and video capturing.
With iOS 19 and the iPhone 17 expected to launch later this year, this update will likely be one of the standout features for users looking for an enhanced camera experience.
A smoother, more intuitive camera experience
The redesigned Camera app will offer a much smoother interface, making it easier to switch between modes like slow-motion or panoramic photos. While the viewfinder will still take up most of the screen, Apple plans to make essential settings, like resolution adjustments, much more accessible. These settings will appear in drop-down panels at the top of the display, which should make changing them quicker and less disruptive.
What’s exciting is how the design will draw from Apple’s Vision Pro, with its fluid transitions and translucent panels. The idea is to make the Camera app feel more like an integrated part of iOS, with a seamless experience that doesn’t distract from the task at hand. This change could make taking photos and videos feel smoother and more natural, as you’ll spend less time fumbling with settings and more time capturing moments.
iOS 19 takes cues from visionOS
Last year, there was some buzz about iOS 18 possibly getting a visionOS-inspired redesign, but that didn’t materialize. Now, it looks like Apple is bringing the Vision Pro’s design language to iPhones with iOS 19. The new Camera app could be just the beginning, with other parts of iOS possibly receiving similar updates to make the system feel more cohesive and immersive, just like the Vision Pro’s software.
While we don’t have all the details yet, it’s clear that Apple wants to make iOS 19 feel more fluid and intuitive, blending the best features of the Vision Pro with the iPhone experience. The updated design might offer a more cohesive feel across Apple’s devices, so users get a smoother, more enjoyable interface no matter which device they’re using.
What to expect from iOS 19
Apple will likely showcase iOS 19 during its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, giving us our first look at what’s to come. A beta version will follow soon after, with a full release expected in September to coincide with the iPhone 17’s launch. Although details about the update have been scarce, we can expect some major improvements in AI and performance enhancements.
For those who already have an iPhone running iOS 18, the good news is that iOS 19 will be available to all compatible devices. Whether you’re a photography enthusiast or just someone who loves using their iPhone to capture everyday moments, the updates to the Camera app and overall system improvements are sure to make the iPhone experience even better.
