WWDC

WWDC showcased a visual overhaul (“Liquid Glass”) but largely omitted AI advancements, contrasting with Google and Microsoft’s AI focus. While platforms were unified and features like multi-window iPadOS improved, significant AI integration was absent. Apple’s reliance on partners, limited AI mentions, and slow Siri rollout raise questions about their AI strategy and future innovation, particularly given its stock buyback focus over AI investment in comparison to its rivals.

Apple’s WWDC on June 10th will unveil next-generation operating systems, including iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, adopting a year-aligned versioning system. Speculation surrounds potential device support cutoffs, possibly excluding older iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The new systems are also expected to feature a visual overhaul, drawing inspiration from visionOS with rounded corners and translucent elements. Note that these details are currently unconfirmed.
