Kudos to Jon Prosser ⇥ youtube.com

I am not sure what the exchange rate is for Being Right Points to dollars, but I think Jon Prosser should be able to exchange his for a new hoodie, at least.

In January, Prosser showed a preview of the new Camera app, and suggested it was representative of broader iOS changes. That was followed up with a more comprehensive video in March, a couple of weeks after Mark Gurman reported system redesigns were in the works across the board. After Prosser’s video, Gurman tweeted the mockups were not “representative of what we’ll see at WWDC”.

So Prosser responded with a lot more details — the vast majority of which have proved correct. Toggles are indeed pill-shaped; there are glassy accents on icons, the Dock, and on Notification Centre controls, all of which respond to the phone’s physical orientation; there are plenty of fluid animations that feel similar to the Dynamic Island.

Prosser’s one big whiff was in his prediction of much more rounded icons on the home screen — not quite circular, but dramatically more curved than those seen in previous iOS versions. While the corner radius does appear to my eyes to be a little greater than it was in iOS 18, it is not to the extent Prosser’s Front Page Tech channel mocked up.

Anyway, if you are keeping score, Gurman gets a few points for saying there would be significant changes across all of Apple’s operating systems, and that it would pitch this as a play for consistency. But Prosser was the one who accurately showed iOS 26’s visual updates, and gets the glory.
