It's finally time for WWDC 2025, Apple's biggest developer conference of the year. It's also a chance for Apple to notch a win. There's considerable pressure on the company to build on its promises and to make amends to developers as it lags behind in AI and faces continued legal challenges over its App Store.

The new cross-operating system Liquid Glass interface design, updated capabilities for all the '26 operating systems -- iOS, MacOS Tahoe, iPadOS, WatchOS and more -- are among the highlights for Apple's annual developer conference.

Apple confirmed at its 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference ( WWDC) on Monday that its new operating system would be called iOS 26, instead of the previously expected iOS 19. It marks a total rebrand for Apple's iOS that will update annually — get it, next year is 2026.
