Apple has just confirmed the dates for its WWDC 2025 and now we’ve seen a leak of just what we may be able to expect from iOS 19.

The rumour mill has been churning out lots about this being Apple’s biggest redesign and overhaul since iOS 7.

This new image of Apple Messages, is actually a mock-up created and shared by Jon Prosser. He claims to have seen it for real but didn’t want to reveal that and instead was able to share his version.

While the regular Messages user may already spot some changes, it’s a pretty big stretch to call that a major design overhaul. Of course, that doesn’t mean that wider changes are not also coming.

For now though, taking this with a pinch of salt, we can see slight changes to the finish around the top navigation buttons. There’s also a more integrated linear finish on the suggestions in the keyboard. Everything feels a bit softer and more rounded.

iOS 19 camera app upgrade

This Messages sneak peak comes after Prosser also showed off the updated iOS 19 camera app, which he claims to have seen.

In that image, shown here, you can see a more translucent menu overlaying the photo. This is more similar to the visionOS.

Apple changes in iOS 19

While these two mock-ups tease some new more rounded menus, use of translucency and buttons changing – it sounds like not much more is coming.

Prosser notes that the home screen in iOS 19 is also not majorly changed.

So until more leaks reveal greater changes, we may have to hold out hope for that major overhaul coming in iOS 20 instead.

I've found it a little absurd that health apps from different companies and service providers refuse to communicate with each other, even when you're the one who owns the data. Google just took one small yet important step toward fixing it. 

Google Health version 5.05 started rolling out today. And compared to the last several releases, this one's fairly light, especially since it follows four crucial updates packed into June and July.

Google can’t catch a break as the Pixel 11 Pro leaks once again
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Google's Made by Google 2026 event is just around the corner, but at this point, it feels like the company has very little left to surprise us with.

The latest leak brings what appear to be official marketing renders of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, offering perhaps the clearest look yet at Google's upcoming flagship phones. Shared by well-known leaker Evan Blass, the images don't just show off the hardware — they also hint at camera upgrades, AI features, and the next-generation Tensor chip powering everything under the hood. While none of the images reveal anything dramatically unexpected, they do suggest Google is paying attention to one design complaint Pixel fans have had for years.

Samsung’s risky move with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is paying off threefold
Samsung’s passport-shaped Fold is leaving last year’s bestseller in the dust

For a brand that's stuck to safer updates for most of its annual updates, Samsung’s odd new passport-shaped foldable was a surprisingly risky move--and it seems like that gamble is paying off. Early demand suggests the company may have underestimated just how many buyers wanted something different.

According to a BusinessPost report, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is selling at roughly three times the pace of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 during the comparable early sales period. Demand has reportedly caught Samsung off guard, leaving the company working to increase production and get more units into stores.
