Conference for Apple developers, WWDC 2025It kicks off on Monday at 10 in the morning. To his last two WWDC events, Apple launched himself into new territories, jumping both in AR/VR and in the generative. There is pressure on the company to be combined, if not at the top, what has been done in the past. CNET has editors and writers who attend in person to report on WWDC 2025 live developments while breaking.
There was the Vision pro in 2023, and then Apple intelligence In 2024. Which great ad is coming in 2025? With Vision Pro and Apple Intelligence who faced the slow and strongly criticized parts, the great message to this year WWDC does not seem clear at all. Apple could focus on redesign of the operating system and gradual improvements across the board.
The WWDC is usually a showcase for the ideas for Apple’s future. It is also where the company discusses its developers tools, how we would expect. And it is where the previews of all the new versions of the operating system are revealed, giving first glance to what is coming to the iPhone, iPad, Mac and more Apple devices.
It is possible that Apple reveals a new home-nomes homepod enabled for the display-o even a new Apple pencil with a calligraphy mode. But the greatest rumors have so far suggest a new redesign and crossed redenomination which could be the Apple way of deviating some attention to not having great new characteristics of AI to be blocked.
Look at this: WWDC 25: Wait for great changes in iOS, but not much about an intelligent Siri
OS by year: will it be iOS 26?
Recent reports of Mark Branma often correct by Bloomberg say that Apple will do it abandon the agreement of the existing numbered operating system It is used for years and instead follow another approach to the denomination: label all annual operating systems per year. Ios of ios 19, we will have iOS 26. And iPados 26 and macOS 26 and Watchos 26, TVOS 26, Visionos 26. Samsung made a similar move in 2020, jumping from the Galaxy S10 in 2019 to the Galaxy S20 in 2020.
Apple’s numbering was quite disconnected since the numbers have become increasingly high in multiple devices categories. An annual number would help at least people know if they are in the current version.
Glass like the new look
The WWDC invites, with a confused transparent ring, suggests a reported redesign of all the company’s software to a new “glass” look. Bloomberg of Bloomberg reported a great entrance Cross-OS design shiftdefining it a dramatic redesign and one of the largest apples made over the years. The design can reflect the visionos sensation of Vision Pro, which has many glazed glass, layers of transparency and circular app icons. Jon proximous of Front Page Tech showed a Preview of the planned design Based on information from its sources and certainly seems Visionos-Esque.
In addition to a hand of paint, will the worker systems begin to feel even more similar in the function? I am particularly curious to know how iPados and macOS begin to close even more. Apple’s iPad has slowly lined up to behave like a computer, with functionality like Stage manager For multitasking, and it is inevitable that the tablet line will eventually provide an experience comparable to the MacBook.
The Apple Watch already traces sleep and many health metrics, but does not yet use to to create detailed insights.
Watchos should get Apple’s intelligence and the health app could be part of it
One of the devices that have been lost so far on Apple Intelligence has been the Apple Watch and this should change early. Apple is expected to put more artificial intelligence on the next operating system, which could help with the summary of the messages, the translation and perhaps even compose messages. It could also make late health and fitness updates. Reports say that Apple could work for the addition of generative insights on artificial intelligence to the data of the health app and even the use of at the medical service, with a launch goal of 2026. Health could obtain a paid subscription level, similar to fitness and what many of Apple’s current services are adding. This could be like what Google is doing with Wear OS, who has been using Fitbit Premium for some time as a health subscription (a wider launch of twins it is also coming).
I like coaching AI and intuitions on a clock, but I don’t like subscriptions. We will see what happens and if Apple enters one of these future plans in this WWDC.
Battery life increases
Another recent relationship (again, Gurman) tells the Will help Apple improve battery life on its devices. How many devices? The iPhone, but I also hope about Apple Watch – these are the products of the training that I find that I have to load more than I would like. For me, at least, iPad and Mac are mostly well on the battery life as it is, but I will never refuse a longer battery life for anything.
Apple has carried out gradual increases in its battery characteristics over time, but perhaps there will be more intelligent power methods this time.
The Backbone Pro is one of the numerous game controller for already existing iOS. Will Apple make a more fluid interface for games on its devices?
Game News?
Apple could push the importance of games again, just like the Nintendo Switch 2 debut. Bloomberg reports that the company could release a new app to act as a hub for games and gaming services including Apple Arcade, becoming a late Game Center revision.
A number of game controllers accessories, such as SpineThey already have apps of apps that work as games launchers, but Apple has never done much to help organize games on its devices in a way that seems more similar to what you find on a console. A new app looks like a good choice also for those types of controllers.
Apple Solo He acquired his first game study: Rac7, the developers of Hit Apple Arcade Game Sneaky Sasquatch.
Apple could also have VR game news, if the older reports become reality: PlayStation VR 2 controller He was expected to work With vision pro headphones, in a push to expand the games on Apple’s VR/AR headphones. Perhaps he will be part of a push to start more developers on board, since Apple could prepare for Less expensive version of Vision Pro The following year. At this moment the headphones cannot compete with the headphones for the most convenient missions of the destination In the game department.
Vision Pro does not yet have ai on board that recognizes the surrounding environment through the camera, but this could change early.
Ai: Live translation and perhaps Vision Camera Advancements
Last year Apple opened access to the camera to company developers, and now it is time for the intelligence tools to artificify for all others – tools that could Helps to describe what you are seeingOr help you also remember things. Apple has already added assistance support for some Functions enabled to the camera On Vision Pro and other products, suggesting more to come.
Although the presentation of Apple’s WWDC Keynote should not include many ads of Ai Screes, the company has yet to compete with Google, open, perplexity and many others who are taking such steps. Reports say live translation It will arrive on some AirPods modelswhich reflects what Google and Meta have been doing on glasses and earphones and phones.
The greatest move of Visionos I would expect to see is a certain introduction of artificial intelligence. Apple Intelligence debuted on the Euric of Apple’s VR/AR space computer At the beginning of this yearBut none of the AI can take advantage of the system cameras to “see” what you are seeing. At least not yet. The use of Gemini by Google to access the cameras on Imminent headphones and glassesAnd the support of the destination of access to the camera for missions developers (and its artificial intelligence tools expanding on the rays-wins), suggest that Apple must move now to start opening a way for artificial intelligence aware of the camera to work on future headphones and finally the glasses.
Apple Pencil
We could see a brand new Apple pencil or updated features that make the current new device, according to a relationship from Bloomberg. Wait to see a new function of calligraphy pen of a unveiled digital rod. It is not clear whether this new software will be both for the original Apple pencil and for the Apple 2 pencil, or if we actually see a new version of the stilian mint.
A new homepod-Slash-iPad?
There may be a new product that emerges at WWDC: a look at an expected long -awaited Homepod enabled to the screen It could be part of a larger push in smarter intelligent domestic technology. Reports suggest that it will now be something similar to a homepod-skilled speaker, with a series of microphones-but with a touchscreen. Would it be a screen big enough to act like a photographic frame or something more similar to a control panel? Where would this live this thing? And how much would it cost? Initially, even the relationships of this device he suggested a robotic arm This would allow the screen to follow your face, but those plans seem to be out of the table for now.
Of all the ideas of Jolly products that Apple could announce in this show, this seems the most likely.
WWDC/GURUS POSTERS
There are, of course, a series of other voices of Gurman. Here are some who attracted our attention:
- Messages app: iOS may have the opportunity to add wallpapers to group chats and chats.
- IPados: Apple can reveal an iPados version of the preview app.
- iPados: Macos multitasking similar could reach iPad.
- IPhone camera app: the interface could focus a revision on making it easier to use.
We will know more
WWDC is happening on June 9thWith the presentation of video Keynote in streaming at 10:00 in the Pacific. We will also be there to Apple Park, covering him with person. We know more about how all this software could follow new products and get a check-in on where exactly Apple is with its strategies. And maybe we will also have some news on the product – you never know.
