From personalised AI to spatial Zillow house tours, Apple just dropped a major cross-platform update blitz in Apple WWDC 2025. Here’s a breakdown of every big announcement.

Apple Intelligence: Smart, Private, and Coming to Every Device

Apple’s long-teased AI system, Apple Intelligence, was the star across devices.

  • Live Translation now works inside FaceTime and Messages, translating in real time with full captions — all on-device for privacy.
  • Siri’s major overhaul is still delayed, but Apple says the new version “needed more time to reach our high quality bar.”
  • Visual Intelligence (like Google Lens) can now understand your iPhone screen, find items, and even talk to ChatGPT about what you’re looking at.

iOS 26: Liquid Glass, Dynamic Wallpapers, Smarter Messages

iPhones are getting:

  • Lock/Home screen redesign with transparent “Liquid Glass” menus
  • New emoji mashups

  • Flick your wrist to dismiss notifications with the Wrist Flick gesture
  • Smarter Smart Stack: context-aware suggestions in the gym, noisy areas, etc.

MacOS Tahoe: Spotlight Becomes Command Center, Continuity Upgrades

MacOS gets a major boost with:

Apple’s most powerful iPadOS yet:

  • Files app redesign includes folder colors, emojis, and default app control
  • Multitasking upgrades let users rearrange windows into four corners, plus Mac-style close/minimize/full-screen controls

Apple TV+ Sneak Peek & F1 Film Hype

Tim Cook previewed upcoming Apple TV+ content and teased “F1,” the Brad Pitt-starring racing film hitting theaters June 27.

WWDC Ends with Developer Love (and a Lounge Tune)

Apple closed the keynote with a musical tribute to app developers. The jazzy, lounge-style song included quirky real reviews and a catchy chorus: “I’d give you 6 out of 5 stars.”
It’s a rare Apple moment — and social media loved it.
