WWDC 2025: Apple's Vision for the Future
Coinciding with the Back-to-School deals, Apple also showcased significant updates during its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, unveiling a fresh and immersive design overhaul dubbed 'Liquid Glass.'

With Liquid Glass, users will experience a refined aesthetic featuring translucent layers, smooth animations, and subtle reflections—ushering in a more dynamic and visually appealing user experience.
Apple has also streamlined its operating system versioning, skipping ahead from iOS 18 to iOS 26 to bring consistency across platforms.
Noteworthy functional improvements include:
A more flexible windowing system in iPadOS 26, enhancing multitasking capabilities.
macOS 26 (Tahoe) now features a dedicated Phone app and smarter integrations in Spotlight and Shortcuts.
A new Game app has been introduced to centralize the gaming experience across all Apple devices.
The company's AI initiative, Apple Intelligence, received a meaningful upgrade. Highlights include Live Translation, expanded creative tools in Messages and Image Playground, and support for third-party on-device AI models—expanding the ecosystem's flexibility and personalization potential.
Together, the back-to-school offers and WWDC 2025 announcements underscore Apple's focus on enhancing accessibility, creativity, and productivity across its global user base.
