WWDC25: Here’s everything Apple is likely to announce

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is set to begin on June 9, and the company is expected to unveil significant software changes that will transform the look of its devices. The operating systems for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other devices will be rebranded with a new numbering scheme based on the year, rather than sequential numbers. For example, the new iOS will be called iOS 26, indicating that it will be the latest operating system through fall 2026. Apple is also creating a unified visual design for all its operating systems, which will feature transparent UI elements, floating toolbars, and rounder icons. The new design will be showcased in iOS 26, which will also include a dedicated gaming app, new accessibility features, and the addition of Stage Manager for iPhone. The iPad's new operating system, iPadOS 26, will receive the same visual redesign and accessibility upgrades, and will also become more "Mac-like" with a focus on productivity, multitasking, and app window management. The new operating systems for Mac, Apple TV, Vision Pro, and Apple Watch will also adopt the new visual design, and may include Apple Intelligence features, such as AI battery management and the option to select Google's Gemini as the chatbot of choice. Apple is not expected to announce new iPhone models at WWDC, but may unveil new Macs or Apple TV hardware. The visual redesign of the operating systems may have a significant impact on Apple's stock price, which has fallen over 18% since the beginning of the year. The company's shares could potentially boost if the new design leads to increased sales of iPhones and other devices.
