Leaked iOS 19 screenshot reveals potential interface
We might have a first glimpse at Apple's Messages app redesign for the upcoming iOS 19 and it... doesn't look that different.
On the Genius Bar podcast on Tuesday, YouTuber Jon Prosser shared a screenshot what the new Messages app allegedly looks like. Jump to minute 42:50 for the new design. Apple fans expecting the rumored "dramatic software overhaul" for iOS 19, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman might be disappointed.
The alleged updated Messages looks largely similar to the current app. The major discernible differences are the keyboard, which has rounded glass-like edges and a floating 3D effect and the back arrow icon and FaceTime icon encapsulated in similarly glassy looking bubbles.
Following previous leaks from Prosser and Gurman, expectations are high for the rumored iOS 19 revamp due at this year's WWDC. A few weeks ago, Gurman wrote that Apple will "fundamentally change the look of the [iPhone, iPad, and Mac] operating systems and make Apple's various software platforms more consistent." This reportedly includes "updating the style of icons, menus, apps, windows and system buttons."
On Wednesday, Prosser shared mockups of other iOS 19 redesigns based on actual designs Prosser claims to have seen. The Apple Sports app and the location sharing pop-up have the same round-edge, glassy, 3D appearance as Messages. However, the Home Screen looks to be unchanged. Perhaps the biggest rumored design change (also leaked by Prosser) is for the Camera app, which looks more in line with Apple's Vision Pro interface.
On X, Gurman chimed in on "iOS 19 images floating around," saying they "aren't representative of what we'll see at WWDC" and "they look to be based on either very old builds or vague descriptions, missing key features."
That's all to say, these leaks could offer a peek at some of the new design changes, but take it with a big grain of salt. We'll see the big reveal soon at WWDC on June 9.

What WWDC tells us about the future of Apple and the iPhone
This post originally appeared in the BI Tech Memo newsletter. Sign up for the weekly BI Tech Memo newsletter here. WWDC was a bit of a bust. Apple's Liquid Glass design overhaul was criticized on social media because it makes some iPhone notifications hard to read. A few jokers on X even shared a screenshot of YouTube's play button obstructing the "Gl" in a thumbnail for an Apple Liquid Glass promo. Need I say more? The more serious question hanging over this year's WWDC was not answered. When will Siri get the AI upgrade it desperately needs? Software chief Craig Federighi delivered the bad news: It's still not ready. That knocked roughly $75 billion off Apple's market value. The stock recovered a bit, but it's still badly lagging behind rivals this month. Google, OpenAI, and other tech companies are launching powerful new AI models and products at a breakneck pace. Apple is running out of time to prove it's a real player in this important field. Analyst Dan Ives is usually bullish, but even he's concerned. "They have a tight window to figure this out," Ives wrote, after calling this year's WWDC a "yawner." AI is complex, expensive, and takes a long time to get right. Apple was late to start building the needed foundational technology, such as data centers, training data pipelines, and homegrown AI chips. By contrast, Google began laying its AI groundwork decades ago. It bought DeepMind in 2014, and this AI lab shapes Google's models in profound ways today. When I was at Google I/O last month, one or two insiders whispered a phrase. They cautiously described an "intelligence gap" that could open up between the iPhone and other smartphones. Many Android phones already feature Google's Gemini chatbot, which is far more capable than Siri. If Apple's AI upgrade takes too long, this intelligence gap could widen so much that some iPhone users might consider switching. At I/O, these insiders only whispered this idea. That's because it will take something pretty dramatic to get people to give up their iPhones. This device has become a utility that we can't live without — even for the few days (weeks?) it might take to get used to an Android replacement. Still, if Apple doesn't get its AI house in order soon, this intelligence gap will keep growing, and things could get really siri-ous. Read the original article on Business Insider

Belkin's 3-in-1 Qi2 wireless charger is the cheapest it's been in months
If you're looking to declutter the cables on your desk or nightstand and keep all of your devices charged, Belkin's Qi2-ready BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 wireless charger will help you get the job done. Right now, it's on sale for $99.99 ($30 off) at Amazon in black and white color schemes. That's both its best price to date and the cheapest it has sold for in months. Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand with Qi2 15W $12017% off $100 Belkin's triple charging stand achieves 15W MagSafe wireless iPhone charging speeds and keeps your phone and Apple Watch elevated for easy reading. This Qi2-certified charger can quickly charge MagSafe compatible iPhones, delivering up to 15W of power. What's more, it also supports fast charging for Apple Watch models starting with the Series 7 via a dedicated 5W puck. There's another 5W Qi pad at its base that's ideal for topping off a second device that supports wireless charging, like a pair of AirPods, or an Android phone. However you mix and match devices, it can charge all three pads simultaneously without compromising speed, a feature we expect from good charging stations. Beyond charging, the BoostCharge Pro also functions as a sturdy, upright stand—perfect for quickly glancing at notifications or turning your iPhone into a nightstand display. It's compatible with StandBy mode on iOS, so you can use your phone as a clock, calendar, or photo frame while it charges. Three more deals worth a look Woot is selling the Apple Pencil USB-C for just $59.99 ($20 off) through July 1st, which is one of its best prices to date. The handy stylus offers tilt sensitivity, but lacks the pressure sensitivity or wireless charging found in the pricier Apple Pencil Pro, but it still can magnetically attach to the side of most iPad models from the past three or so years. You can buy the Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station for $359.99 ($40 off) at Amazon and Anker (with code WS7DV2HJI8AT), which is a new low price on the Thunderbolt 5 dock. The powerful dock can connect everything from smartphones and laptops to dual 8K displays, boasting 14 ports in total and delivering up to 232W of combined power output. You'll also find several USB-C ports, including an upstream Thunderbolt 5 USB-C port capable of delivering up to 140W to your laptop. Rounding things out, the dock includes both SD and microSD card slots conveniently located on the side, along with HDMI, DisplayPort, an ethernet port, a headphone jack, and multiple USB-A ports. You can buy the Eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20 for $379.99 ($270 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price to date. The self-emptying robot vacuum offers 8,000Pa of suction, along with mapping, scheduling, and no-go zones. What makes it really stand out, though, is that it can convert into a stick and handheld vacuum, offering a powerful 30,000Pa of suction for a more thorough clean.
