iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16 and more – but maybe not a super-smart Siri
Apple’s next WWDC Keynote is official, with Apple CEO Tim Cook set to take the stage at Apple Park at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM UK on June 9, 2025.
Invites to the event, which will cover all of Apple’s major platforms and may include some surprises, went out on May 20 (yes, on Google I/O keynote day ????♂️). TechRadar received invites, and we’ll cover it from the ground.
What, though, should you expect from one of Apple’s biggest events of the year? While product launches are unusual and unexpected, but not unheard of, at the event, this is the keynote that sets the tone for Apple’s entire year. In particular, by showing us what the next version of iOS will look like, it sets the stage for the release of the iPhone 17 lineup, which most expect to happen in September.
WWDC 2025 will also mark the first anniversary of the introduction of Apple Intelligence. Considering that Apple only managed to deliver a portion of what was promised in June 2024, it’s unclear how Apple will approach this AI conundrum.
There are numerous reports of turmoil behind the scenes as Apple reshuffles its Apple Intelligence team and tries to revive efforts to deliver a transformed Siri that can compete with Gemini and ChatGPT.
Some believe Apple won’t mention Siri, but will focus on Apple Intelligence as it is, and mention some feature enhancements. It’s unlikely they will promise any eye-opening generative features, especially after over-promising a year ago.
Let’s take a look at what we do expect Tim Cook and company to reveal.iOS 19
Even though Apple might not commit at WWDC 2025 to an all-new Siri, we might get a hint at what’s coming. After all, how can Apple deliver iOS 19 without a fresh Apple Intelligence-filled Siri experience?
Expect Apple to walk us through a long list of iOS 19 design changes, including a new Camera app and more powerful and fresh-looking widgets.
The biggest reveal might be a new home screen that aligns a bit more with how the Vision Pro looks.
