With just a week remaining until Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2025), fresh details have emerged about the company’s plans for this year’s event. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will have fewer AI announcements while introducing updates across iOS, macOS, and other platforms.
This may have to do with the fact that the AI upgrade to Siri was announced way before any of those features were actually ready. Originally revealed in June 2024, the Siri upgrade has now been delayed to 2026.
Instead of broad AI integrations, Apple will focus on enabling third-party developers to use its on-device Apple Foundation Models. These models will support up to 3 billion parameters and will be capable of performing tasks such as text summarization and autocorrect.
AI improvements will be more modest in scope and integrated into specific apps. Safari and Photos are expected to receive new AI features, but larger updates such as a fully revamped Siri powered by large language models and an enhanced Shortcuts app are still not ready for release.
One of the major announcements will be iOS 26, which will include a new battery power management mode and a redesigned Translate app that supports integration with Siri and AirPods. The update will feature a visionOS-inspired user interface, marking one of the most significant design overhauls in iOS history.
Continuing Apple’s tradition of naming macOS versions after California landmarks, macOS 26 is expected to be called “Tahoe.” The update will also adopt a visionOS-style visual identity, aligning the desktop operating system with Apple’s broader design language.
Apple plans to introduce a centralized gaming app to replace the current Game Center. The new application will be available across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS, serving as a hub for accessing games, leaderboards, and player communications
