Live Events In an early demonstration of how partners could improve Apple apps, the company added image generation from OpenAI's ChatGPT to its Image Playground app, saying that user data would not be shared with OpenAI without a user's permission. Apple is facing an unprecedented set of technical and regulatory challenges as some of its key executives kicked off the company's annual software developer conference on Monday. Shares of Apple, which were flat before the conference, slipped 1.5% after executives took the stage in Cupertino, California. Federighi also said Apple plans a design overhaul of all of its operating systems. Apple's redesign of its operating systems centered on a design it calls "liquid glass" where icons and menus are partially transparent, a step Apple executives said was possible because of the more powerful custom chips in Apple devices versus a decade ago. Federighi said the new design will span operating systems for iPhones, Macs and other Apple products. He also said Apple's operating systems will be given year names instead of sequential numbers for each version. That will unify naming conventions that have become confusing because Apple's core operating systems for phones, watches and other devices kicked off at different times, resulting in a smattering of differently numbered operating systems for different products. In other new features, Apple introduced "Call Screening" where iPhones will automatically answer calls from an unknown number and ask the caller the purpose of their call. Once the caller states their purpose, the iPhone will show a transcription of the reason for the call, and ring for the owner. Apple also said it will add live translation to phone calls, as well as allow developers to integrate its live translation technology into their apps. Apple said the caller on the other end of the phone call will not need to have an iPhone for the live translation feature to work. Apple's Visual Intelligence app - which can help users find a pair of shoes similar to ones at which they have pointed an iPhone camera - will be extended to analyzing items on the iPhone's screen and linked together with apps. Apple gave an example of seeing a jacket online and using the feature to find a similar one for sale on an app already installed in the user's iPhone. Here are the top 10 highlights Apple opening up access for any app to tap directly into LLM model at core of Apple Intelligence with new Foundation Model Framework Apple unveils 'Liquid Glass' technology.

Apple's Liquid Glass Software explained in 10 points
Apple on Monday unveiled a new operating system interface called Liquid Glass at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, calling it the company's broadest design update ever. For the first time, the same interface will work across the company's products, executive Alan Dye said Monday during a video presentation from Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California. The company also confirmed plans to open up its AI models to outside app creators. As part of the changes, Apple is renaming its OS lineup to use the year rather than version numbers. The next generation of software for the flagship iPhone will be known as iOS 26 . Liquid Glass Software explained in 10 points: Liquid Glass is a translucent material reflects and refracts its surroundings, while transforming to help bring greater focus to content, delivering a new level of vitality across controls, navigation, app icons, widgets, and more, as per the tech giant. For the very first time, the new design extends across platforms — iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26 , watchOS 26, and tvOS 261 — to establish even more harmony while maintaining the distinct qualities that make each unique. Controls, toolbars, and navigation within apps have been redesigned. Previously configured for rectangular displays, they now fit perfectly concentric with the rounded corners of modern hardware and app windows. Controls are crafted out of Liquid Glass and act as a distinct functional layer that sits above apps. In iOS 26, tab bars now shrink when scrolling to highlight content and expand on scroll-up for easy navigation. On iPadOS and macOS, redesigned sidebars in apps like Apple TV blend with the background, reflecting nearby content and wallpaper to maintain user context and enhance immersion. Apple's new design spans iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, enhancing system elements like the Lock Screen, Home Screen, desktop, and Dock. The time on photo wallpapers now appears in Liquid Glass, adapting fluidly behind subjects. Across platforms, elements like app icons and widgets use layered Liquid Glass for a sleek look and more personalisation, including new tints and a transparent menu bar in macOS Tahoe 26. Apple has introduced updated APIs for SwiftUI, UIKit, and AppKit to help developers adopt the new design system. By integrating Liquid Glass materials and refreshed controls, developers can update their apps to align with the new visual style, enhancing user interactions with a more intuitive and cohesive experience.
