If you’ve ever read Who moved my cheese? By Dr. Spencer Johnson you know that the morality of the business parable is that change is inevitable and that we have to embrace it. If you are not familiar with it, I suggest that you record your iPhone and call a friend for a quick chat. This can remind you how little the phone app on iOS has changed in almost two decades. It is a consolation that, according to new rumors, it could quickly evaporate, so you shout: “Who has moved my cheese?!”
We are only a few days away from AppleS Global developer conference ((WWDC 2025), and the internet is about rumors about countless changes that come to almost every important Apple platform.
iOS is naturally head among them and so far the ruling rumors have tackled the look, to which can be tended Floating frosted glass objects (Yes, like Visionos on the Vision Pro). None of these changes gives me a real break, but Mark Gurman’s (Bloomberg) Last forecast Perhaps a bridge is too far: a redesigned telephone app.
Gurman is scarce about details, but he describes “a new display that combines favorites, contacts, recent calls and voicemails” in one view. He does not go into the keyboard, but I think it is safe to assume that if Apple touches the other four telephone app elements, it is unlikely that they leave the keyboard alone.
Although iPhone call and communication functionality has seen countless changes over the years, such as processing on ecosystem devices, Facetime, Name Drop for contact sharing and, most recent, satellite support, the telephone app itself has hardly changed.
This is a good thing.
No grade tone
Every year, regardless of the scale of change for a certain version of iOS, is the most important complaint I get: “Why did they change it?”
Most people I spoke to are not happy with recent design and organizational updates for the photos of the photos or e -mail. Sometimes Apple’s efforts to streamline apps or to use them easier to use result in hidden functions or at least moved elements that cannot find an average consumer (at least I know).
I am not saying that Apple will remove the keyboard, but a change in how the figures are presented, which has more to do with traditional analog telephones than any digital communication device, is possible. That would be the kind of change that IPhone users would send above the edge.
The rumors changes in the app, which seem to be running to lose the different contacts, recents, favorites and voicemail elements in favor of a long window of stacked elements, it is unlikely iPhone 17 Handsets later this year.
There is good news. Gurman claims that the changes will be optional. However, I wonder if they will be the standard setting. If there is one thing that consumers hate more than change, it has to hunt to find out how to turn around.
So, certainly, Apple, spruce on iOS and perhaps even give the telephone app a nail polish, but if you have large changes in the store, make sure they are not the default value. If not, don’t call me, maybe.
