Apple has officially announced the dates for its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, which will take place from June 9 to June 13. This year’s event carries the tagline “On the horizon” and will be held both in person and online, featuring new online group sessions for the first time.
Expected Announcements: iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16 & More
As with previous years, WWDC is expected to highlight new versions of Apple’s major operating systems:
- iOS 19
- iPadOS 19
- watchOS 12
- macOS 16
- visionOS 3
These updates are rumored to bring significant visual redesigns, aligning with the futuristic visionOS design language. Expect revamped icons, system buttons, windows, and menus, along with more intuitive navigation and cleaner user interfaces.
Apple Intelligence: What’s Next for AI
Apple is also expected to spotlight Apple Intelligence, its suite of AI-driven features. While the company unveiled this branding last year, the actual impact has been modest so far. At WWDC 2025, we might finally see:
- Smarter battery management
- A virtual health assistant
- More robust AI tools for productivity and creativity
Some AI features, like auto-generated emojis and summaries, are already in testing, but others—such as the overhauled Siri with app integration—are delayed.
AI for Developers: Apple x Anthropic Tool in the Works
Bloomberg reports that Apple is internally testing an AI-powered coding assistant, developed in collaboration with Anthropic. If successful, this tool could be released for all developers during the event, potentially rivaling tools like GitHub Copilot.
WWDC 2025 promises to be a pivotal event, with Apple focusing heavily on AI innovations and UI overhauls. With the combination of iOS 19 updates, next-gen developer tools, and Apple Intelligence advancements, the conference could redefine Apple’s software roadmap for years to come.
