WWDC 2026 Live — New Siri, iOS 27, Apple Intelligence and all the latest news
The stakes couldn't be higher for Apple's AI push
The start of WWDC 2026 is quickly approaching, with the keynote expected to reveal Apple’s biggest updates across all of its platforms. Beyond the usual staples such as iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, macOS 27, and tvOS 27, this year’s developers conference should focus largely on AI — particularly Apple Intelligence and the new Siri.
Apple has an uphill battle to prove to consumers that it’s serious about AI because quite frankly there was very little in the way of new Apple Intelligence features when iOS 26 rolled out last fall. The star of WWDC 2026 should be the new Siri, which will reportedly be powered by Gemini and offer a lot more power and capability.
The software updates being announced at WWDC 2026 could also give us a better idea about the company’s device portfolio for later in the year. There’s already been plenty of buzz around a potential iPhone Fold, Apple Glasses, and even a MacBook Ultra.

WWDC 2026 is tomorrow — here's what we expect
Howdy folks! WWDC 2026 is a day away and my colleagues and I will be guiding you through all the developments leading up to the event tomorrow, including everything that actually gets announced.
Apple's operating systems have always been the focus at past developers conferences, but this year's event is especially going to center around artificial intelligence. Here's the 9 biggest announcements we expect from WWDC 2026 tomorrow.
Siri's on tap for an ultimate glow-up
After spending a solid year facing heavy criticism and missing its own deadlines, Siri is reportedly preparing for its biggest update since 2011 with the release of the iPhone 4s. Ironically enough, it was Tim Cook who introduced it to the world after taking over as Apple's CEO from Steve Jobs.
Rumors have been boiled for a good while now that Apple is finally dropping a massive overhaul for Siri, including a dedicated standalone app, true conversational chatbot capabilities, and the power to read your screen and process uploaded documents.
iOS 27 tipped for big updates for native apps
It wouldn't be a typical WWDC if Apple doesn't talk about it iPhone software. While Siri should be taking a chunk of the announcement, we can certainly expect to hear a lot about iOS 27.
Leaks point to other features beyond the new Siri and Apple Intelligence features, including updates to popular apps like the Camera, Photos, and more.
More photo editing AI features coming to your iPhone
To date, the only big AI tool that Apple has given us for photo editing has been Clean Up. While it's clearly helpful at times, it still trails the impressive performances from rivals Google and Samsung.
Well, Apple is reportedly ready to play serious catch-up with them by introducing a heavy dose of generative AI to the native Photos app in iOS 27. Specifically, the rumors hint at Apple introducing a dedicated suite of Apple Intelligence features, including Enhance, Extend, and Reframe.
These photos prove why Apple needs an AI update
Around this time last year, I put the photo removing features from Apple, Google, and Samsung to the test to see how they can use generative AI to remove unwanted elements from a photo.
If you look at the gallery above with the photo I captured of Amazon's Panos Panay at event, you'll see why Apple's in desperate need of an AI upgrade. For some reason, it couldn't properly remove those subjects and fill them in with some as realistic as its rivals.
Updates to macOS 27 and potentially clues to the possibility of touch
While Apple has spent over a decade insisting that a touchscreen laptop makes zero sense, macOS 27 might finally prepare the software for a major hardware reversal.
Rumors leading into WWDC 2026 suggest that Cupertino is quietly adapting its desktop interface with larger tap targets, optimized gesture controls, and subtle UI tweaks originally borrowed from iPadOS. Even though hardware reveals are typically rare at the annual developer showcase, this is the perfect opportunity to lay the digital foundation for a rumored touchscreen MacBook.
