Apple's WWDC 2025 is expected to showcase incremental AI advancements, failing to demonstrate significant progress against AI leaders like OpenAI and Google. While Apple Intelligence will likely feature, a major overhaul of Siri is anticipated later. A potential AI-powered battery management feature for iOS 26 could analyse user habits to optimise power consumption. There are also rumours of Apple exploring generative AI for its Health app, potentially offering AI-driven health coaching services via subscription.
Beyond AI, Apple is reportedly planning a major redesign across its operating systems, adopting a unified naming scheme based on the year of release. This means iOS 18 will give way to iOS 26, with similar changes for iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. The new look, codenamed 'Solarium', aims for a slicker, more modern interface inspired by visionOS. Additionally, Apple is expected to introduce a dedicated gaming app for Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV, incorporating features like leaderboards, matchmaking, and game recommendations.
