A last-minute iOS 26 leak drops details about a few key Apple app upgrades coming with the iPhone OS update next week.
We’re in the endgame now, with less than a week to go until Apple unveils its next-gen operating systems. WWDC 2025 will be remembered for the massive changes Apple is about to deliver, rather than a focus on Apple Intelligence improvements.
AI might be all companies like Google and Microsoft talk about during their developer events, but Apple Intelligence has been disappointing so far. Apple still needs time to catch up, and I’m certain the company will eventually be able to match the AI offerings from its biggest rivals.
The underlying software isn’t just about AI, even though we’re heading toward an AI-centric computing experience. Apple is about to lay the groundwork for the future of its hardware. The big redesign coming to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26 is all about that. Apple wants a cohesive visual experience for the next wave of products.
The name change is part of that, too. Apple is going for uniformity here. The name will tell users what OS they’re on across devices. It should also align well with the reportedly changed schedule for new iPhone releases.
The new coat of paint and naming structure aren’t the only novelties Apple will introduce at WWDC 2025.
