WWDC 2025: What to expect from Apple's Annual Developer Conference

Apple's WWDC 2025 starts today, June 9, at 10 a.m. PT (11:30 p.m. IST). No major hardware announcements are likely, but big software upgrades and improvements for Apple's ecosystem should still take place.

iOS 26: A New Era for iPhones

Apple will reportedly announce iOS 26, abandoning the version-numbering system to "reboot" iOS. iOS 26 will reportedly undergo a "radical" design shift adopting some elements from visionOS with translucent menus, icon shapes that are rounded, and a shiny, glass aesthetic. iOS 26 could also contain more sophisticated AI features, including real time translation of languages through AirPods, improved battery management, and more.

macOS 26 and Other System Updates

macOS 26 may be called "macOS Tahoe" and will be announced as Apple continues the tradition of naming their operating systems after landmarks in California. Also likely to be announced are updates to iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26, all having similar design and improved usability.
