Apple WWDC 2025 will be held from June 9 to 13. Developers and students around the globe can get access to this event for free online and for a select few in person. Space will be limited. So, visit the WWDC25 website for details on how to apply to attend the event. It is mostly focused on developers who build apps for Apple devices, but it’s also a time when Apple gives the public a sneak peek at its newest products and technologies.
What is WWDC?
It was 1983, 36 years ago, when Apple hosted its first Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with the introduction of Apple BASIC (a programming language created to write beginner-level programs for computers). However, the company started using the conference as the biggest launchpad for its new products in 2002. Year after year, WWDC has grown into one of the most awaited events in the tech world.
According to the updates from Apple’s official website, the conference will include video sessions and opportunities to connect with Apple engineers and designers in online labs. The tech giant will showcase its latest innovations, brand new products, and software updates with a focus on the users and tech fans. There have been widespread rumors that the company may also provide interesting hints at how they are shaping the future with Apple Intelligence advancements.
Apple WWDC 2025 Announcements So Far
While not all the information related to the Apple product launches and software updates is available, here is a glance at the major announcements that have made headlines.
1. iOS 19: The Future of iPhones
Introduction of iOS 19 is likely going to be one of the biggest highlights of WWDC 2025. This new operating system is expected to make Apple smartphones smarter and more user friendly. News about this suggests that the focus will be on Apple Intelligence, which is the company’s most intuitive software so far. A more powerful version of Siri (Apple’s voice assistant) will use artificial intelligence and machine learning to better understand user habits. For instance, it may be able to provide better suggestions based on your daily activities.
Possible Features to Expect:
- Customizable Home Screen: Users will be able to organize apps and widgets more freely than ever before.
- Enhanced Privacy Tools: iOS 19 may introduce better security controls, which will allow users to better understand and manage how their data is used.
- Multitasking Enhancements: iPhones may soon support better multitasking, similar to iPads, which would allow users to run multiple apps side by side.
2. macOS 16: A Smarter, Faster Mac Experience
macOS 16 will be the next version of the operating system for Mac laptops. It is expected to introduce new tools designed to improve the overall user experience. The focus is on the continued evolution of Apple Silicon, which are the company’s custom chips that power the latest MacBook and Mac desktop models.
Apple Intelligence is also anticipated to make user commands for the Mac smarter and faster. MacOS 16 might include a new “smart assistant” that helps users organize their work based on deadlines, priority tasks, and project updates.
Possible Features to Expect:
- Improved Performance: Expect to switch between apps and tasks on your desktop or laptop more smoothly.
- Revamped Safari: With the redesign of Apple’s web browser, you can expect new features like better privacy protection and faster loading times.
- Dark Mode Enhancements: While Dark Mode has been around for a while, macOS 16 may refine it even further with new options for personalization.
3. watchOS 12: More than Just Fitness
Apple’s watchOS, the operating system for the company’s smart watches, has been a game-changer in the smartwatch industry. Their latest version, watchOS 12, is expected to be one of the spotlights at WWDC 2025. The new features may focus on overall productivity and personalization for the user. Also, you can expect Apple Intelligence to make notifications and reminders even smarter according to the user’s habits and their location.

4. visionOS 3: Augmented Reality for All
One of the most exciting rumors surrounding WWDC 2025 is the potential announcement of visionOS 3. It is a headset that can provide a combined experience of the digital and the physical worlds which is known as mixed reality. Thanks to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, the visionOS 3 could bring a huge change for the company and its users. Apple Intelligence will be at the centre, working with AI to create seamless transitions between the real and virtual world.
Possible Features to Expect:
- Advanced AR and VR Capabilities: The device will allow users to interact with 3D environments, games, and apps in a completely new way.
- Facial and Gesture Recognition: It may use AI to detect facial expressions and hand movements, making the experience more immersive and interactive.
- New Apps for AR: Expect a whole new range of apps designed for mixed-reality experiences, from virtual meetings to interactive 3D designs.
5. Apple Intelligence: The Brain Behind It All
The tech giant Apple has been heavily investing in Apple Intelligence. You can call this technology the brain behind the advanced features found on the latest Apple devices. At WWDC 2025, the company is likely to showcase the surprising capabilities of this intuitive technology, which can make the devices you use even more powerful.
Imagine you have a device that works as your assistant, monitoring your daily activities, habits, and needs to predict what you want to do before you even say it. This kind of computer brain could be the beginning of a new revolution in how humans interact with artificial intelligence, or, for now, we can say Apple Intelligence.
Note: This write up aims at highlighting the technology that is expected to take the center stage at WWDC 2025 rather than focusing on the specific devices that may be announced.
