Overview

  • Apple will kick off WWDC 2025 with a livestreamed keynote on June 9 at 10 a.m. PT to reveal its latest software updates.
  • The company is shifting from version numbers to year-based names, unveiling iOS 26, macOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26 and visionOS 26.
  • A unified interface codenamed “Solarium” will bring visionOS-inspired translucency and glass-like elements across all platforms.
  • Major AI breakthroughs are not expected, but Apple plans basic on-device features—such as AI-driven battery management and live translation—alongside opening its smaller Foundation Models to developers.
  • Reports suggest Apple may preview a new smart home display device, though no significant hardware launches are anticipated this year.
