Apple WWDC 2025: What to expect from the upcoming developer conference
Apple
's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will begin on June 9 and the company is expected to announce major software-related updates at its five days developer conference. Last year, WWDC event was majorly focused on AI but this year the tech major is expected to focus on design and productivity enhancements for its operating system franchises.
What to expect from
Apple WWDC 2025
Bloomberg reported, the tech major will change its naming system for iOS. Instead of continuing with numerical sequence, it will shift to being named by the year (e.g. iOS26 instead of iOS19).
Reports suggest that Apple's health app will incorporate AI, which could include a health chatbot and generative AI insight for more personalised health-related suggestions.
As per media website, 9to5Mac, Messages may also get new AI features, such as translation and polls that offer AI- generated suggestions.
According to details shared by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company has some AI tools and features in development, but they are unlikely to be released this year. Instead, Apple could announce that it will allow third-party developers to access its large language models (LLMs) to support AI features inside their own apps.
Reports suggest that Apple is developing a dedicated gaming app that will replace Game Center app. The app could include direct access to Apple Arcade's subscription-based game store. It could also integrate with iMessage or FaceTime for remote gaming.
Apple could also announce a live-translate language feature for its AirPods, allowing real time translation during conversations.
AirPods may also get new head gestures to either nod or shake your head to respond to incoming calls or messages.

Global Smartphone Shipment Forecast For 2025 Revised Downward Over Tariff Uncertainty: Report
New Delhi: Market intelligence research firm Counterpoint Research has lowered its global smartphone shipment forecast for 2025. The firm has revised its 2025 global smartphone shipment growth forecast downward to 1.9% year-on-year, from the earlier projection of 4.2%, citing uncertainties surrounding US tariffs. However, most regions are still expected to see growth, except North America and China, according to Counterpoint Research's latest Market Outlook: Smartphone Shipment Forecast Report. Price increases from cost pass-throughs remain a key focal point, although the tariff situation is fluid and unpredictable. Commenting on the revised forecast, Associate Director Liz Lee said, "All eyes are on Apple and Samsung because of their exposure to the US market. Although tariffs have played a role in our forecast revisions, we are also factoring in weakened demand not just in North America but also across Europe and parts of Asia." Lee added, "We still expect positive shipment growth for Apple in 2025, driven by the strong performance of the iPhone 16 series in Q1 2025." She also noted that premiumisation trends remain supportive across emerging markets like India, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf countries—these are long-term tailwinds for iPhones. Counterpoint Research's current forecasts assume a relatively stable tariff environment through 2025. However, the escalating rhetoric and uncertainty around trade policy could significantly impact manufacturers' pricing strategies, supply chain planning, and ultimately, consumer demand. Commenting on projections for global smartphone shipment growth in 2025, Associate Director Ethan Qi said, "The bright spot this year—again—will likely be Huawei. We are seeing an easing in sourcing bottlenecks for key components, at least through the rest of the year, which should help Huawei gain substantial share in the mid-to-lower-end segments at home."
