Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 kicks off this Monday, June 10, in Cupertino. One year after the release of iOS 18, Apple is now preparing to launch iOS 26 along with its most ambitious initiative yet: Apple Intelligence, the company’s official entry into the AI race.
Apple Intelligence: Smart, Private, and Integrated
Apple is set to reveal Apple Intelligence, its own AI system built into iOS, macOS, and iPadOS. Designed to compete with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, Apple’s version of AI promises privacy-first features that run on-device.
🔍 Expected features include:
A redesigned Siri that’s more conversational and context-aware across apps.
Smart summaries for articles, messages, emails, and calendar events.
Generative AI tools for Mail, Notes, and Messages.
Cross-app voice commands like: “Send this link to Emma, add a note, and set a reminder.”
📱 Compatible devices include iPhone 15 Pro and later, MacBooks with M1 chips and up, and iPads with Apple Silicon.
iOS 26 and the "Liquid Glass" Interface
While iOS 18 laid the foundation for AI integration, iOS 26 is expected to introduce a new visual style known as Liquid Glass. This design overhaul will offer more dynamic visuals, live transparencies, and responsive effects across the UI.
🧩 Other expected updates:
Enhanced interactive widgets.
Improved app permission controls.
Smarter automations via the Shortcuts app.
macOS 15, iPadOS 19, watchOS 11: Smarter Ecosystem
🖥️ macOS 15: Adds Apple Intelligence across native apps (Mail, Pages, Safari). Available only on M1 and newer Macs.
📱 iPadOS 19: Introduces multitasking improvements and shares AI features with iOS 19.
⌚ watchOS 11: New health and stress tracking features. Improved sleep monitoring and smarter Siri for on-the-go interactions.
New Hardware? MacBook M4 and Vision Pro Updates
Although WWDC focuses primarily on software, some hardware surprises are expected:
A new MacBook Air M4, optimized for on-device AI.
Possible revision of the Apple Vision Pro, with better comfort or lower price.
Rumors of a HomePod with display have also resurfaced.
Spotlight on Tim Cook
Following criticism over Apple’s delayed AI strategy, this WWDC is being seen as a make-or-break moment for CEO Tim Cook. The pressure is on to show Apple can innovate, while maintaining its long-standing stance on user privacy and system integration.
