Major Announcements From the WWDC 2025 Keynote
The star of every WWDC is Apple’s keynote, where the company sets the tone for its ecosystem over the coming year. This year, the spotlight is on AI upgrades, redesigned operating systems, and tools that empower both users and developers.
Apple Intelligence Gets Smarter
Apple is doubling down on artificial intelligence in 2025. The keynote highlighted the opening up of foundational AI models to developers. This means that apps across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS can now integrate advanced Apple Intelligence features, making AI-powered user experiences more widespread and innovative.
A Fresh Look: Visual Overhaul Across All Platforms
Most importantly, Apple has committed to a major design refresh. iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26 (codenamed “Tahoe”), tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26 all feature visual changes inspired by VisionOS, originally launched on Apple Vision Pro. Expect cleaner interfaces, new iconography, and a unified aesthetic across devices.
New Shortcuts App With Apple Intelligence
This year sees the arrival of a revamped Shortcuts app. Users can now create custom quick actions, powered by Apple Intelligence, with simple natural language commands. More intuitive automation means users will save time, and developers can plug into this new system with ease.
Genmoji: Custom Emoji Creation
Say hello to “Genmoji,” a feature that lets users combine existing emojis to create entirely new ones. This playful tool, powered by AI, will roll out across devices and is expected to spark a wave of personalized emoji use.
Hardware Teasers: Mac Pro Rumors
While WWDC is usually software-centric, there’s buzz around a potential new Mac Pro reveal. However, there’s no solid confirmation yet. Apple might still surprise fans later this week.
What Else Is On the Agenda?
- OS Naming Changes: Reports suggest the latest versions of iOS and its siblings will align numbering, so iOS 19 may be renamed iOS 26, matching macOS and others.
- Health and Gaming: Expect updates to health features and enhancements for Apple Arcade and gaming performance across devices.
- Developer Labs: One-on-one and group labs are back, giving developers direct guidance from Apple engineers.
