• The iOS 19 Camera app is rumored to be getting a redesign
• It could be a sign of a wider visual revamp for iOS 19
• The updated look may have been inspired by Apple visionOS

The Camera app is probably one of the most-used iPhone apps for the majority of us, and the rumor is that this key piece of software is going to get a revamp with the roll out of iOS 19 and the iPhone 17 later this year.

According to Front Page Tech (via MacRumors), the Camera app interface will become more fluid, smoothly adapting its layout as different features and options (like panoramic pictures or slow-motion videos) are accessed.

Most of the screen is still taken up with the viewfinder (what you're actually taking a photo of), but options for image and video resolution are going to be easier to access, with drop-down panels appearing at the top of the display.

The interface's fluidity and translucent panels are, as Front Page Tech points out, very reminiscent of the visionOS software that runs on the Apple Vision Pro. The thinking is that the design revamp might apply to the rest of iOS 19 too.

iOS meets visionOS

You may remember there was some chatter around iOS 18 potentially getting a visionOS-inspired redesign last year. That didn't happen, but it seems Apple is still considering making its iPhone software more like its Vision Pro software.

Nothing is certain yet though – even tipster Jon Prosser, in the Front Page Tech video you can see above, isn't sure what's going to happen – but we know Apple will already be working on iOS 19 updates ready for its iPhones.

We should get our first look at iOS 19 sometime in June, when Apple holds its annual WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference). A beta program will probably follow on soon after, with a full release in September to coincide with the iPhone 17 range.

There hasn't been much in the way of rumors or leaks around iOS 19 up till now, though we have heard that any iPhone running iOS 18 will be able to run iOS 19 too. We'll most likely see a host of additional Apple Intelligence upgrades as well.

• Swimlane survey finds many businesses aren't keeping on top of AI energy needs
• Nearly three quarters are aware of the dramatic energy demands needed to train AI models
• Just 13% actively monitor AI energy consumption, which may indicate most used off-premise facilities

As the transition from simple algorithms to advanced models significantly increases energy demands, the adoption of agentic AI, known for its advanced decision-making capabilities, is intensifying concerns over energy consumption, new research has claimed.

A survey by SambaNova Systems, sampling over 2000 business leaders from the United States and Europe, found 70% of business leaders are aware of the substantial energy requirements for training models for AI tools, but only 13% monitor the power consumption of their AI systems.

At the same time, 37.2% of enterprises are facing growing stakeholder pressure to improve energy efficiency, and 42% expect these demands to intensify.

Challenges with AI energy demands

Rising energy costs have become a significant challenge, with 20.3% of businesses identifying them as a pressing issue.

Thankfully, 77.4% of businesses are actively exploring ways to reduce power usage by optimizing their models, adopting energy-efficient hardware, and investing in renewable energy solutions.

However, these efforts are not keeping pace with the rapid expansion of AI systems, leaving many enterprises vulnerable to rising costs and sustainability pressures.

“The findings reveal a stark reality: businesses are rushing to adopt AI, but aren’t prepared to manage its energy impact,” said Rodrigo Liang, SambaNova Systems' CEO.

“Without a proactive approach to more efficient AI hardware and energy consumption, particularly in the face of increasing demand from AI workflows, we risk undermining the very progress AI promises to deliver," he added.

"By 2027, my expectation is that more than 90% of leaders will be concerned about the power demands of AI. As businesses integrate AI, addressing energy efficiency and infrastructure readiness will be essential for long-term success.”
