Each year at WWDC, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, the company showcases what’s next for its biggest platforms — iOS, macOS, iPadOS and more — and what developers can do to make apps and services for them.
In addition to their discussion of what happened with AI Siri, Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak talked about how an Apple Watch might fit into Apple’s AI device plans, if Apple is working on a foldable (“who’s to say?”), and if iPhone prices will go up due to tariffs (“nothing to announce”). It’s worth watching.
The Verge’s new senior AI reporter, Hayden Field, noticed we didn’t hear the name of Apple’s assistant very much during the WWDC 2025 keynote on Monday.
Even as presenters discussed opening up Apple Intelligence to third-party developers and new AI features for other apps, Siri was conspicuous in its absence. So what does that mean for the future of Apple’s AI efforts?
Apple won’t give us a Mac-powered tablet. But it may have finally done the next best thing.
Big changes are in store across Apple’s platforms, from a design refresh to major multitasking improvements for the iPad.
If you ask The Verge reporters who were there liveblogging Apple’s keynote today, the answer is (mostly) Spotlight.
At WWDC 2025, Apple just showed off a new update coming to its wearables this fall.
Once watchOS 26 is available, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 wearers will be able to dismiss notifications, silence times and alarms, and ignore calls just by turning their wrist over and back like this (below), in addition to the existing double tap gesture.
Mark Gurman’s Bloomberg newsletter brings one more pre-WWDC 25 rumor, saying the most exciting part of the conference will be the rumored design overhaul for iPhone, Mac, and other platforms that he says is called Liquid Glass (remember Microsoft’s Aero Glass, and Apple’s iOS 7 shift away from skeuomorphism?).
Adding “transparency and shine effects in all of Apple’s tool bars, in-app interfaces and controls,” he says it sets the stage for next year’s “Glasswing” iPhone design with curved glass sides, slim bezels, and no cutout section in the display.
The keynote for Apple’s next developer conference is only a week away, and the homepage for the event has just been updated with a short tagline, “sleek peek,” while exec Greg Joswiak tweeted out this new animation. We’re guessing this refers to the visionOS-like design refresh supposedly coming for Apple’s operating systems, and not to the “gap year” for AI features rumored over the weekend.
Whatever it is, we’ll be at Apple Park on June 9th to report the details.
According to reports from beta testers, the new InSight feature announced at WWDC has appeared in the latest developer beta of iOS 18 and tvOS 18.
InSight pops up details about actors, characters, and songs appearing onscreen in original Apple TV Plus shows. These also show on your iPhone, from where it appears to be easy to add songs to your library. Neat.
