The iPhone 17 series is anticipated to debut in September, featuring four distinct models — the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (possibly known as Slim), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. These new devices are expected to run on iOS 19, which Apple plans to unveil at the forthcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) scheduled for June. A recently surfaced video has hinted at the design modifications that users might expect with iOS 19. Notably, the video suggests an exclusive camera feature for the iPhone 17 Pro models.
New Dual Camera Recording Feature Possible in iOS 19
A detailed overview of Apple’s forthcoming iOS 19 update was provided by tipster Jon Prosser on the Front Page Tech YouTube channel. In the video, Prosser discusses the anticipated design alterations within iOS 19 and introduces an innovative camera app intended for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This new functionality is expected to allow simultaneous video recording using both the rear and front-facing cameras.
This potential dual video recording feature could serve as a valuable tool for content creators. It’s worth noting that Samsung first introduced this capability in its Galaxy S4 back in 2013, with its use spreading across numerous Android devices since.
In terms of design, iOS 19 is rumored to draw inspiration from Apple’s visionOS. Users can look forward to rounded icons, fresh animations akin to the Dynamic Island, and a revamped Tab View.
Apple is set to preview iOS 19 during the WWDC, which will open on June 9 and is free for all developers to attend. The conference will run until June 13. In addition to iOS 19, Apple is also expected to showcase upcoming software updates for its iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and the Vision Pro. The stable version of iOS 19 is likely to be released in September alongside the launch of the iPhone 17 series.
