WWDC2025: Apple’s OS Overhaul, AI Ambitions, and Siri’s Continued Struggle
Apple’s WWDC2025 keynote unveiled significant updates across its operating systems (iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26), introducing the “Liquid Glass” design language inspired by visionOS. This aesthetic shift, characterized by translucent elements and glassy effects, is rolling out across all platforms.
A major focus was on expanding Apple Intelligence capabilities. On-device access is now offered to developers, and integration with ChatGPT enhances features like Image Playground, enabling AI-powered image manipulation and contextual searches. However, Siri’s highly anticipated upgrade remains delayed, raising questions about Apple’s AI roadmap.
iPadOS 26 boasts significant multitasking improvements, offering more flexible app window management and enhanced mouse/trackpad support. macOS Tahoe 26 features a revamped Spotlight search, now capable of executing actions beyond simple app launching.
Other notable announcements include a new Games app consolidating gaming features across Apple devices, enhanced AirPods camera controls, a 3x playback speed option for Podcasts, and the sunsetting of major software updates for Intel-based Macs after macOS Tahoe.
While the “Liquid Glass” design and enhanced functionality are key takeaways, the delayed Siri upgrade and the relatively muted presence of Apple’s AI assistant throughout the keynote remain significant talking points.
