Convention season is underway, and at the moment we’re stay at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, for this 12 months’s WWDC. Whereas we bought a glimpse of the Imaginative and prescient Professional in 2023 and a preview of Apple Intelligence in 2024, this 12 months is a little bit of a wild card.
Rumor has it that as an alternative of flashy {hardware} or AI, Apple is giving all its software program a makeover. That reportedly features a glassier aesthetic for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The corporate can also be rumored to be renaming all its working techniques to be extra constant. So as an alternative of iOS 19, visionOS 2, and watchOS 12, we’d be getting iOS 26, visionOS 26, and watchOS 26. Oh, there’s presumably a brand new gaming app on deck, too.
The stress is on for Apple proper now. Google I/O simply wrapped up, which was an AI bonanza full with demos of the Android XR prototype good glasses. Apple Intelligence’s rollout hasn’t been fairly as clean as Apple most likely envisioned. The all-new Siri is nowhere to be seen, and it appears even Apple shouldn’t be solely clear when it’ll arrive. (Although, spokesperson Jacqueline Roy lately instructed Daring Fireball that the corporate nonetheless anticipates it’ll roll out “within the coming 12 months.”) We’re not anticipating large surprises on this entrance, however don’t rule out a possible replace or two on how issues are going.
The WWDC 2025 keynote kicks off at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. Watch and observe together with our liveblog to get the most recent minute-by-minute updates.
