Based on reports, iOS 19 could be taking its cues from visionOS, the software that powers Apple's Vision Pro headset. And as Gurman noted, those changes are also coming to iPads and Macs to deliver a more unified experience across Apple's different hardware offerings.

Gurman also notes that this will be the most significant update for the Mac as well. It’ll be the first of its kind since macOS Big Sur rolled out in 2020. This change indicates Apple’s vision for a consistent UI across devices. The report, however, concludes that the Cupertino company isn’t planning to merge their operating systems at any point.
