What to expect from Apple's WWDC this year
WWDC 2025: What to Expect iOS 26 Could Replace iOS 19 Feature Drops You'll Actually Notice AI-powered battery management for better longevity A New Playground for Gamers Apple Intelligence: Smarter, Not Just Flashier Hardware? Don't Hold Your Breath, But… Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference—WWDC for short—is where the tech giant sets the tone for the year, unveiling major software updates and occasionally dropping hardware surprises. It's the big stage where developers, fans, and the industry get a front-row seat to what's next from 2025 is almost here, and the buzz has already begun. Apple's confirmed the event will run from June 9 to 13, with the keynote kicking things off on June 9 at 1 PM ET (10:30 PM IST), livestreamed on YouTube. While the company is keeping most announcements under wraps, leaks and rumours have filled in some gaps—think major iOS updates, a leap forward in Apple Intelligence, an overhauled VisionOS, and possibly an early glimpse at the iPhone 17 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 seems less about shiny new features and more about a visual glow-up. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is gearing up for a major design overhaul—codenamed Solarium—that'll stretch across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Drawing inspiration from visionOS, the refresh promises a softer, more modern aesthetic with rounded icons, translucent menus, and a cleaner overall look. It's the biggest visual update since iOS 7—and it's about time the UI got some a move to streamline its software branding, Apple might finally be ditching version numbers in favour of calendar-based naming. That means instead of iOS 19 or macOS 15, we could be looking at iOS 2026 and macOS 2026 . It's a small change on the surface, but a smart one—making it instantly clear which year each update belongs to. Clean, consistent, and honestly, long overdue updates with calendar years—making it easier for users (and developers) to keep the redesign may steal the spotlight, Apple isn't showing up empty-handed on the features front. iOS 26 is expected to bring a handful of practical upgrades, including:A desktop mode for iPhones with USB-C, letting you plug into an external display and get a more PC-like experienceOver on iPadOS 26, expect a more Mac-like vibe, complete with a top menu bar and enhanced Stage Manager multitasking. macOS and the rest may not see headline features but will benefit from the overall visual consistency that ties the ecosystem Apple might finally be paying attention. Gurman hints at a new, dedicated cross-platform gaming app—a beefed-up evolution of Game Center. Think friend lists, leaderboards, and deeper Apple Arcade integration, all working seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple the AI front, Apple is focusing on refining rather than reinventing. Expect smarter, context-aware Siri responses and the debut of a new health coaching tool. Developers can also look forward to new APIs to help integrate Apple Intelligence more tightly into their is typically software-first, but hardware surprises aren't off the table. With the MacBook Air M4, iPad Air M3, and iPhone 16e already out, a major launch seems unlikely. That said, a refreshed Mac Pro—especially one running on the M4 chip—would make sense for the developer just maybe, Apple might drop a teaser for the much-rumoured iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to be the slimmest iPhone yet. A full reveal? Probably not. A sneak peek? Definitely not out of the question.
