Recent rumors suggest that iOS 19 will bring Stage Manager support to iPhone models equipped with a USB-C port. The information was shared by leaker Majin Bu, who indicated that users connecting their USB-C iPhones to external displays will benefit from a Stage Manager-like interface to run multiple apps simultaneously.
However, it is expected that this version may have more limitations than the Stage Manager available on iPads. Currently, only iPhone 15 models and newer feature a USB-C port.
While previous iPhone models, utilizing either Lightning or USB-C, could connect to external displays, they were only capable of basic screen mirroring. The first developer beta of iOS 19 is anticipated to launch shortly after the WWDC 2025 keynote on June 9, with a public release expected in September.
It remains uncertain whether the Stage Manager feature will be included in the initial beta or introduced later in the iOS 19 timeline. Majin Bu has had a mixed success rate with Apple leaks, having accurately predicted the naming of the upcoming iPhone SE’s successor as the iPhone 16e.
However, they have also made some incorrect claims, such as suggesting that this device would feature Dynamic Island instead of a notch. Nonetheless, they have correctly reported various other details regarding upcoming Apple products.
In related news, Apple is also rumored to be launching the new Apple TV with anticipated features like improved Wi-Fi support, as well as significant upgrades planned for its upcoming iPhone 17 series. As excitement builds for these future releases, the tech community continues to speculate on the enhancements Apple has in store.
