The 2025 WWDC showcased the Apple ecosystem once again, with iOS 26, the upcoming iPhone operating system featuring a new “Liquid Glass” design, taking center stage. Concurrently, Apple revealed significant updates across its platforms including macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, AirPods, and developer tools. Here are the top five announcements from the 2025 WWDC that you need to know.

macOS Tahoe 26: Advancing AI Experience on Mac

macOS Tahoe 26 focuses on boosting productivity and integrating artificial intelligence more deeply into the Mac environment. A key update is the introduction of Apple Intelligence, which aims to automate tasks like summarizing documents and generating content. Additionally, Spotlight is set to improve with better context understanding and more efficient search capabilities.

Spotlight will receive a significant update on Tahoe:

The system also introduces new organizational tools, such as more flexible window docking options and a revamped workspace management. The Messages app has been redesigned with features for scheduling messages and adding text effects. Notably, the Game Mode is enhanced to optimize performance while reducing audio latency for AirPods. The beta version of macOS Tahoe is now available for developers.

iPadOS 26: Bringing iPad Closer to Mac

iPadOS 26 continues to bridge the gap between tablet and computer with new features focused on power and productivity. Users will now benefit from Apple Intelligence, with functionalities similar to those introduced in macOS. Note-taking has been improved with Smart Script, a tool that automatically smooths handwritten input while preserving the writer’s unique style.

Navigation on the iPad will also be smoother with refined multitasking and additional window management options. Safari sees improvements similar to macOS, including automatic summaries of pages and enhanced privacy protections. These upgrades are designed to make the iPad more versatile, while still maintaining distinct boundaries from macOS.

Enhanced Health, Activity, and Customization with watchOS 26

Apple’s watchOS 26 focuses on greater personalization and a more refined approach to health and fitness tracking. The activity rings are now more adaptable, allowing adjustments based on the day of the week. Apple has also introduced weekly mental health assessments and improved tracking of outdoor time to promote healthier habits.

The interface lets users further customize watch faces based on time of day or location. Accessibility has been enhanced with new voice and gesture options. Moreover, watchOS 26 improves connectivity with other Apple devices, particularly through the new camera remote control via AirPods, allowing the watch to serve as an indirect control center.

AirPods: Studio-Quality Audio and Remote Capture

Apple has upgraded its AirPods (AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, and AirPods Pro 2) with new features focused on content creation. Studio-quality audio recording allows users to produce significantly better vocal tracks for interviews, podcasts, or videos. This enhancement is powered by the H2 chip, voice isolation, and advanced software processing.

Another innovation is the camera remote built into the AirPods, which enables users to start or stop video recordings remotely with a simple press on the stem. This feature opens new possibilities for mobile content creators. These functions are compatible with the Camera app and some third-party apps on iPhone and iPad, and are set to roll out this fall through a software update.

Apple Enhances its Developer Tools

Lastly, Apple has emphasized improvements in its development tools, introducing a series of upgrades designed to simplify the work of app creators. Xcode now features a new prediction engine powered by Apple Intelligence, which assists in real-time code writing. The testing environment has also been sped up, with enhanced support for debugging across multiple platforms.

These updates are accompanied by increased support for the Unity game engine and enhanced performance in Swift. Apple has also introduced a new version of Reality Composer Pro, designed to facilitate the creation of immersive content for Apple Vision Pro. The aim is clear: to accelerate the production of applications compatible with the entire Apple ecosystem, including augmented and virtual reality platforms.
