Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming iPadOS 19 operating system update.When will Apple announce iPadOS 19?If Apple follows the trend, it should announce iPadOS 19 alongside iOS 19 during the WWDC 2025 keynote. The Worldwide Developers Conferencewill take place from June 9 to June 13. While it was previously held at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in California, Apple changed how it promoted WWDC to a pre-recorded keynote when the pandemic started. Still, the company invites the media and developers to watch it from the Apple Park campus in Cupertino.Apple will likely announce its plans during WWDC 2025 in April. As of now,Apple has already begun work on iPadOS 19, which is codenamed Luck.Release dateiPadOS 19 is expected to be released in September 2025. Apple usually says the new system update will be available "in the fall." However, the company has released it later in September for the past few years.Still, some rumors say Applewon't make all major iPadOS 19 features available all at once.As a matter of fact, the most impressive functions might arrive in the first half of 2026.Rumored iPadOS 19 featuresM4 iPad Pro OLED display. Image source: Jos Adorno for BGRSo far, rumors have been circulating that the iPhone will undergo a major redesign and include new Apple Intelligence features. Here's everything we know.A major redesign is comingBloomberg's Mark Gurman reportsiPadOS 19 "will fundamentally change the look of the operating systems and make Apple's various software platforms more consistent." According to the journalist, Apple will unify the look of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS to deliver a more straightforward experience through the platform.With that, Apple will adjust the look of icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons. This is said to be the most significant redesign for the iPhone/iPad since iOS 7 and for the Mac since Big Sur. The primary goal behind these design overhauls is to bring more cohesion to Apple's disparate operating systems.Besides that, in January,Front Page Techsuggested iPadOS 19 might get a redesign inspired byvisionOS, especially the Camera app, which several users find more confusing than ever. With several layers of interaction, some have suggested Apple might need to make the Camera app simple again, and redesigning it with the visionOS UI might be a possibility.Then, in April, John Prosseroffered yet look at what he thinks will be Apples iOS 19 redesign, afterBloombergs Mark Gurman said the leaked images were based on either very old builds or vague descriptions.Front Page Techhost Jon Prosser claims that Gurmans post actually prompted him to go back and take a closer look at the leaked iOS 19 build. When he did, he noticed that tapping on icons changed their shape. The icons suddenly became more rounded, similar to the look of the apps on visionOS, but not quite a perfect circle.Potential leak of iOS 19 redesign.

Image source: Jos Adorno for BGRApple doesnt have new Apple Intelligence features to introduce during theiPadOS 18 cycle. That said, the more advanced features will come in later 2025 or 2026 with iPadOS 19.According toBloombergs Mark Gurman, the first version of Apple Intelligence only offers domestic changes. However, a ChatGPT-like model is coming at a later date:These upcoming upgrades will make Siri easier to use on a day-to-day basis, but its not the brain transplant that the service really needs. Siri is still based on an outdated infrastructure AI models that have been overtaken by the technology used by ChatGPT and Googles Gemini. Siri hasnt yet been rebuilt for the generative AI age, even if Apple is trying to create the impression that it has.Its not just the LLM Siri chatbot that wont be released in 2026. Gurman says that a larger-than-usual number of features scheduled for iOS 19 (beyond the new Siri) are already postponed until spring 2026 (when iOS 19.4 debuts).In March, Apple announced that thelong-awaited personalized Siri experience in Apple Intelligencewill be available in the coming year as the company delays the most important AI feature to date.Siri GPTAccording toBloomberg'sMark Gurman, Apple's new version ofSiriwill employmore advanced large language models (LLMs)to allow users to have long back-and-forth conversations with the virtual assistant. Sources also claim that "LLM Siri," as Apple employees have dubbed it, can handle more sophisticated requests even faster.Apple is currently testing the upgraded Siri oniPhones, iPads, and Macs as a standalone app, but the goal is to replace Siri with the new version eventually. Apple plans to introduce LLM Siri next year as part of iOS 19 and macOS 16 (codenamed Luck and Cheer).As was the case with Apple Intelligence this fall, the new Siri reportedly won't launch alongside the new hardware in 2025. Rather, Apple will announce it next year and start rolling out the upgraded Siri as early as spring 2026."The revamped Siri will rely on new Apple AI models to interact more like a human and handle tasks in a way that's closer to ChatGPT and Google's Gemini," Gurman explains in his report. "It also will make expanded use of App Intents, which allow for more precise control of third-party apps. And the software will be able to tap into features from Apple Intelligence, such as the ability to write and summarize text."Revamped Health appIn January 2025,Bloomberg's Mark Gurmansaid Apple plans to revamp the Health app with the new Apple Watch lineup. While it's unclear what could be changed, Cupertino has focused a lot more on the Health app due to its focus on the well-being of Apple hardware and software.New emojiNew emoji coming to iOS 18.
