Apple WWDC Live Blog: All the Updates, as They Happen
Skip to main content
Follow our WWDC 2025 live blog for all of the updates coming to iOS, macOS, watchOS, and more.
Welcome to WIRED's live coverage of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. The WWDC25 keynote will begin at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm Eastern, and 6 pm British Summer Time.
It's a livestreamed event, and you can watch it right here on this page, or open the video feed in its own tab; Apple is streaming the video on its developer website and on its developer-focused YouTube channel.
WWDC is Apple's annual event for its global network of software developers. The company uses the keynote to announce all of the changes coming to the software that powers iPhones, Macs, Apple Watches, and the rest of Apple's hardware. It also announces changes coming to the cloud services it provides, from iCloud and Messages to Siri and Apple Intelligence. It's basically one big news dump for everything in the world of Apple software.
On occasion, the company will sneak in a surprise and use the WWDC keynote to announce something like a new hardware or software platform; 2023's event was when we first learned about Apple Vision Pro. But this year, we're only expecting software announcements—just bits, no atoms.
Read Reece Rogers' preview of the show for a full look at what to expect from WWDC 2025.
Once the keynote is underway, we'll post all of the important updates here on this live blog. We'll tell you release dates, point out new features, and note what's missing. We'll also have some analysis from our expert reporters who are either attending WWDC or watching from afar. Most of us have been covering Apple for well over a decade, so we'll be able to offer some unique insights about what's being shown during the presentation.
We'll kick off live coverage around a half an hour before the keynote is scheduled to start. So come back at 9:30 am PDT (12:30 pm EDT, and 5:30 pm in the UK). You'll see the live blog refresh, and the text on this page will be replaced by live updates. Get ready for a great WWDC.

Apple's Ushers In New Glassy Design With iOS 26 and ‘Liquid Glass' Interface
Jony Ive's long era of flat design is dead. At WWDC 2025 today, Apple ushered in 'Liquid Glass,' a new interface for iOS 26 (all of Apple's software platforms are jumping straight to '26') modeled after the glassy, reflective, and translucent software design it first introduced for Vision Pro's visionOS two years ago. The new Liquid Glass visual refresh is Apple's first major interface overhaul for the iPhone in 12 years. In 2013, former design chief Ive rebooted the iPhone's operating system with iOS 7 (aka The Great Flattening)—a shift away from the skeuomorphic interface that Steve Jobs and former Apple software chief Scott Forstall had championed in favor of rounder and texture-free iconography, thinner fonts, and brighter colors and more negative space. iOS 7 was so jarring for so many iPhone users that Apple slowly undid the extreme redesign in subsequent iOS updates to make it more usable, though the general aesthetic of flat software remained flat. Liquid Glass brings back depth with a modern twist. Instead of skeuomorphism—digital design that imitates real-world objects and textures—iOS 26 uses light reflections and shadows to make buttons and menu bars appear layered on top of content. Though Apple improved usability with thicker fonts and subtle gradients, it could still be difficult to identify what was a tappable element versus what is content. iOS 26 seems to merge the best of flat design (uncluttered minimalism) with just a smidge of skeuomorphism (glass and the way it reacts to lighting at different angles). Beyond the fresh coat of paint, iOS 26 is mostly the same familiar iPhone software over 1 billion users use to connect with each other. That is to say, there won't be a steep learning curve. Most of Apple's own apps work largely as before. Some apps have been tweaked to be easier to use. For example, the camera app now has a more unified experience for shooting and the Photos app. This story is developing…

Apple's new 'liquid glass' design is its biggest visual update in years
In addition to renaming its core operating systems, today at WWDC Apple announced a major update to visual designs of iOS, iPadOS, macOS and more. Inspired by some of the fancy graphics used in the Vision Pro, this UI overhaul not only features revamped icons and emphasis on translucent elements it also looks to bring a much more unified look to Apple's flagship software platforms. Based on a design theme called liquid glass, Apple's new visual language will bring increased consistency accross the company's OSes. In iOS, the home screen has been totally revamped with new app icons, including new all-clear options. Wallpapers have been updated to dynamically scale to better accommodate both the subject of photos and on-screen text. Many buttons also have a new floating design that makes them easier to see without becoming distractions. This story is still developing...
