The Global Conference of Apple Developers (WWDC) 2025 is expected to start on June 9, with announcements expected for the next software versions of the iPhone, iPad, Mac, watch, television and pro vision. Last week, Mark Gurman de Bloomberg said that Apple will change the nomenclature of “ os 19 ” rumor ‘in “ os 26’ ‘to correspond to the year when these operating systems will see a wider adoption. Gurman has now said that WWDC 2025 will not be as large as in the past.
iOS 26: The next iPhone software should be a major change compared to previous versions, by focusing largely on aesthetics which, according to rumors, could be inspired by Visionos. Previously called iOS 19, the new generation iOS version will have more translucent in animations, windows and tabs, alongside a new floating navigation bar for a better user interface experience. Apple will probably announce more AI features as part of Apple Intelligence, but even then, it will not exceed the announcements Google made at the E / S conference last month.
MacOS 26 Tahoe Lake: Since Apple would have renamed all its operating systems with the suffix “26”, MacOS used names of different places in California. This time, Apple can move forward with Lake Tahoe, which means that the name of the Mac operating system will be MacOS 26 Tahoe Lake. The next macOS update will focus more on features than appearance, offering better accessibility features, such as the movement indices of vehicles that made their debut on the iPhone two years ago.
Other operating systems: like iOS 26, iPados 26 will also use a better aesthetic, corresponding to the design of the visionos interface. Although the details on what it would offer are rare, the reports suggest better features for improved productivity on the iPad to make it work more like a MacBook. For years, Apple has tried to transform the iPad into a full laptop in response to user comments. Updating iPados 26 could tackle the most common points of pain. Apple’s software versions for Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro should also provide several new features with more rationalized interfaces.
Despite a series of announcements planned for WWDC 2025, Apple may not do everything with everything he worked on. Gurman said that Apple Intelligence’s announcements, although we expected to take the spotlight, would not correspond to those of Rivaux like Google or Samsung. Citing people aware of details, Gurman said that Apple’s next annual conference “could be a disappointment from the AI point of view”, with planned advertisements to worsen Apple’s position in the smartphones industry. This could lead to a decrease in WWDC in terms of number of announcements this year.
