WWDC25: Apple may announce new head gestures, camera controls for AirPods
Apple may bring sleep-aware playback, stem-based camera triggers, and new head gesture controls to AirPods at WWDC 2025 At this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple is expected to unveil several new accessibility and control features for its AirPods line-up. According to a report from 9To5Mac, the company may introduce updates like sleep auto-pause, camera control, enhanced head gestures, and more. While WWDC traditionally focuses on software and platform updates, Apple has a precedent for debuting new AirPods features via firmware updates. Last year, Apple introduced head gestures for select AirPods models, allowing users to nod up or down to answer or decline calls and notifications, enabling hands-free interaction. Here are all the new features that might be coming to AirPods this year: Apple WWDC 2025: New features for AirPods Sleep auto-pause: Apple is reportedly working on a feature that can detect when a user falls asleep while wearing AirPods, and automatically pause audio playback. Currently, users must rely on sleep timers within apps—something not universally supported. It's unclear whether this will function independently or work in tandem with the Apple Watch, which already offers sleep tracking. Camera Control: Apple may also enable AirPods to act as a remote trigger for the iPhone or iPad camera. According to the report, users will be able to activate the camera shutter with a click on the AirPods stem, possibly even when the AirPods are not worn. New head gestures: Apple is also reportedly working on new head gestures for controlling Conversation Awareness mode on the AirPods. Currently, this mode—which lowers media volume and boosts nearby voices when the wearer begins speaking—can be dismissed by tapping or swiping on the AirPods stem. Soon, head gestures might provide an alternative way to exit the mode. Audio Mix: Apple is also said to be working on bringing iPhone 16's Audio Mix feature to AirPods. The feature, introduced with the iPhone 16 series, uses AI to isolate voices from background noise and offers three voice modes: In-frame, Studio, and Cinematic. Its expansion to AirPods could provide more nuanced control of how audio is recorded and played back, especially during video recordings. Apple WWDC 2025: What to expect Apple is expected to announce sweeping visual updates across its operating systems, including iOS, macOS, and visionOS. A unified design language with translucent menus, dynamic motion effects, and a more cohesive interface experience is reportedly in the works. Apple may also introduce a new naming convention across its software line-up—switching from iOS 19 to iOS 26, for example—to bring consistency in versioning across devices. On the AI front, Apple could unveil a new developer software toolkit (SDK) for deeper integration of Apple Intelligence tools like Writing Tools into third-party apps. Additionally, the company is exploring partnerships with external AI providers, including Google and Anthropic, to complement its existing collaboration with OpenAI's ChatGPT.

iOS 26 Update Could Be A Big Deal: Here's What iPhone Users Can Expect
Last Updated: The iOS 26 update is widely expected to be announced at the WWDC 2025 next week and Apple might be planning its biggest overhaul. Apple WWDC 2025 will start early next week and the company seems to have something big planned for this year's event. No, we do not expect a lot of AI at the WWDC 2025 keynote, but other important updates like the new iOS and macOS versions will be detailed. And this year could be Apple's biggest iOS upgrade, with many reports hinting at a new naming sequence which now links to the year of the release, and in this case it could be iOS 26 and macOS 26 versions for iPhone and Mac users, respectively. Apple is also likely to bring visual changes to the UI for the new iOS version. Here's a detailed look at what the iOS 26 update could bring in terms of new features and design. Rumours suggest the iOS 26 update will feature a design overhaul that will be called Solarium within Apple's corners. It is likely to be inspired by the visionOS interface with its transparent cards, floating icons and control buttons and seemingly a more fluid UI that compliments the high-refresh rate display on the iPhones. Apple could also bring intuitive ways to navigate through the screen interface and also redesign the app design with emphasis on a mix of square and circle shapes in the picture. People have mocked iOS for looking a lot like Android in recent years, now might be a good time to change that narrative. New-Look Camera App The interface overhaul could also include a new-look camera interface on the iPhones. The tab and the main bar hosting the features will also get a translucent makeover as per rumours. The early leaks have received mixed response on the internet but Apple should ideally have a clearer idea about making the UI changes suited to the new platform language. AI is not going to be a hot topic for Apple at the keynote but you will see the tech integrated into iOS 26 in a big way. The company is expected to bring an AI-powered battery management system that will look to improve the battery life of the device by studying your usage patterns and the app consuming most power in the background. New Gaming Hub Apple wants to improve on its current gaming stable and bring a new hub that will give you access to scores of all players, content around games, the latest Arcade titles and possible means to download other games to the devices linked to your account. The news around iOS 19 giving way to iOS 26 did surprise many but it seems Apple's lack of AI-related news and Siri AI delay means we could be looking at visual upgrades at the WWDC 2025 this year.

Apple WWDC 2025 Preview: Big AI Updates Not Expected This Year
Apple WWDC 2025 is just a week away from now and the company is widely expected to match Google's AI ambitions and show us the new features and tools. However, reports this week may dampen your excitement because Apple is unlikely to have anything major lined up at the big event this month. Apple and AI is becoming a fractious deal and it seems we might have to wait longer to see its recent AI changes come to fruition. WWDC 2025 will be 12 months since Apple first introduced its AI features and showed us the promising Siri AI demos. Now one year later we might see the company go easy on these claims and promises.

Apple AI is likely to grab the headlines but Siri AI is not expected to be part of the lineup this year as it struggles internally to compete with Google and OpenAI.
