Apple kicked off WWDC 2025 with its keynote presentation at its annual World Wide Developer’s conference, and it was a bumper affair. We were treated to a raft of updates across all of the firm’s software platforms, as we were introduced to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26 and visionOS 26.

Apple's WWDC keynote was jam-packed with AI promises and unbridled ambitions. This year, the tech giant scaled back its Apple Intelligence messaging and made it crystal clear what we'd be getting – and not getting – in its latest software updates.

Apple's 2026 operating systems will be unified and see a major visual upgrade called the Liquid Glass design language.

Steve Jobs might have loved Liquid Glass; the battle to keep the iPad from turning into a Mac seems to be over; and other takeaways from a keynote that wasn’t so short on news after all.

Apple invites app-makers, influencers and reporters to its Worldwide Developers Conference. The Monday keynote is a slickly produced showcase, meant to generate buzz and provide a sweeping look at the tech titan's forward progress.

Liquid Glass design, Apple Intelligence APIs, and visionOS 26 tools highlight Apple’s 2025 State of the Union for developers.

Apple has yet to deliver on some of the key technology advances that could modernize developers' apps for the AI era.

At WWDC 2025, Apple changed how we interact with our devices with the introduction of a new user interface it calls Liquid Glass. Apple CEO Tim Cook described it this way: “Expressive. Delightful. But still instantly familiar.”

With Google and Microsoft’s developer conferences out of the way, now it’s time for Apple’s WWDC. The Cupertino company is gearing up to unveil new versions (and new numbers) for all its operating systems, as well as taking a second step at convincing everyone it’s a major player in the AI industry.

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is expected to highlight updates to the company operating system and AI services.
