iOS 18 is a terrific mobile operating system, but there’s room for improvement. These five key additions would improve iOS 19’s interface, navigation, AI, note-taking, and photos.
iOS is renowned for its consistent design, strong security features, excellent integration with other Apple products, and robust app ecosystem. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. With the iOS 19 beta rumored to come in June after Apple’s WWDC showcase, I’ve thought long and hard about potential changes and additions, and these are the five features I want to see most in iOS 19. 1. More Home and Lock Screen Customization Options
Apple is on a roll with screen customization improvements, but it needs to maintain that momentum by offering more control over app appearances, colors, and sizes in iOS 19. Take widgets, for example. I want true floating widgets that overlay onto other apps, with tweakable themes and color gradients. Likewise, the upcoming operating system should give the freedom to place apps and widgets anywhere, rather than adhering to a rigid grid layout. Better color suggestions that suit the background wallpaper would be nice, too. 2. Revision History for the Notes App
Notes is a wonderful iOS 18 app that I use extensively for brainstorming ideas, creating lists, scanning documents, and quickly jotting down thoughts. I especially like its Writing Tools, which are AI-powered editing features for refining notes. They proofread my words and even check for tone, which is incredibly handy.
