Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2025

wired.com Boone Ashworth 2025-10-22 06:03:00

Apple held its annual developer conference today, and as usual used the keynote address to announce all of the new software features coming to Apple’s many products this fall. This year’s WWDC is occurring at a moment of unprecedented economic uncertainty. Apple’s sales are expected to take a hit as President Trump continues to threaten the company with increased trade tariffs. The event also comes in the aftermath of the very AI-heavy conference of Apple’s archrival Google, putting pressure on

The iPad Is a Full-On Computer Now

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-10-22 07:59:09

“This is what you've all been waiting for.” That's what Craig Federighi stated with a gleeful grin on his face as he introduced the latest changes to the iPad at Apple's WWDC25 keynote. He wasn't talking about new iPad hardware, new software features, or AI implementation that didn't suck. He was talking about windows. You know, those things that computers have. With the release of iPadOS 26, Apple gives these tablets the ability to use conventional windowing—and iPads will never be the same.

Apple Is Pushing AI Into More of Its Products—but Still Lacks a State-of-the-Art Model

Apple continued its slow-and-steady approach to integrating artificial intelligence into devices like the iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch on Monday, announcing a raft of new features and upgrades at WWDC. The company also premiered the Foundation Models framework, a way for developers to write code that taps into Apple’s AI models. Among the buzzier AI announcements at the event was Live Translation, a feature that translates phone and FaceTime calls from one language to another in real time. Appl

‘Beautiful’ and ‘Hard to Read’: Designers React to Apple’s Liquid Glass Update

wired.com Reece Rogers 2025-10-22 11:11:49

Apple’s translucent design update for iOS 26, called Liquid Glass, is now available to developers, with a public beta scheduled for next month. The refresh—Apple’s first major interface overhaul in 10 years—makes app icons, buttons, menus, and pop-ups look like they are made of frosted glass, with blurred background colors peeking through. The sweeping software changes are not just for iPhones. This glassy look—inspired by the operating system in the Vision Pro headset—will eventually roll out

Tesla’s Robotaxis Are Rolling Out Soon—With One Big Unanswered Question

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-10-22 20:00:00

Self-driving vehicle developers don’t usually love talking about “teleoperation”—when a human guides or drives robot cars remotely. It can feel like a dirty secret. Shouldn’t an autonomous vehicle operate, well, autonomously? But experts say teleoperations are, at least right now, a critical part of any robot taxi service, including Tesla's Robotaxi. The tech, though impressive, is still in development, and the autonomous systems still need humans to guide them through less-common and especiall

This year at WWDC 2025, Apple introduced a rather drastic change to its naming conventions. What should be the upcoming WatchOS 12 will now be WatchOS 26 when it launches in the fall, since the company decided to stop labeling its operating systems sequentially and instead name them according to the fiscal year they are released. Every OS now also has a new, overhauled display aesthetic called Liquid Glass, which makes certain apps, icons, buttons, and pop-ups look like frosted glass and other f

Your iPhone and iPad will look significantly different when iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 roll out this fall. And no, you haven’t missed seven operating system upgrades since iOS 18 last year. Apple has changed the naming structure of its OS updates and made them all consistent—visionOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26—so they’re now tied to the year after their launch, similar to what car makers do when debuting new models.

This suggests that the AirPods Pro 3 could be coming soon, which would make sense, because the AirPods Pro 2 have been out for almost 3 years.
