Let's go have a great WWDC.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:30:23
Thank you, Craig. And thanks to all of our presenters. What a big day of announcements for our users and developers. We continue to advance each of our platforms with more ways to harness the power of Apple Intelligence, as well as a beautiful new design, our product experiences become even more seamless and enjoyable. We’re excited to see how developers will bring these updates and this new design language to their apps. Our new OS releases will be available as developer betas today, with a public beta coming next month. And they will be available to all users this fall. Thank you to all of our developers for continuing to change the world with the apps you create. And thanks to everyone for joining us today. We've got a big week ahead of us.

Predictive code completion gets more accurate, using larger context from your code. And we’ve expanded our vision for Swift Assist, where developers interact with code using natural language directly in Xcode. Developers can now use a model of their choice, and we have built-in support for the advanced coding models of ChatGPT. This unique experience flows naturally between the source editor and the assistant to write code, tests, documentation, iterate on a design, or fix that stubborn compiler error. You'll hear all about these new tools and technologies in the Platforms State of the Union. And now, back to Tim.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:28:58
To dive deeper, we have dedicated sessions and opportunities to engage with Apple engineers and designers over the course this week. We also have exciting updates for our tools, like the new Icon Composer app. Icon Composer helps developers and designers create layered icons that look stunning in light, dark, tinted, and all-clear look, visualizing how light interacts with Liquid Glass. And we're bringing more generative intelligence to Xcode.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:28:47
The Foundation Models framework allows developers to use our models and get responses in plain text or as structured Swift data.

App Intents allow developers to connect their apps' content and capabilities throughout the system, including the new Shortcuts and Visual Intelligence experiences. And there's much more to discover in our SDKs, like the latest improvements to Swift, which make it easier than ever to write code that's safe and efficient. Or the new APIs in SwiftUI, helping developers build modern user interfaces across all Apple platforms. Of course, this year, one of the most important updates for developers is the new design with Liquid Glass. It lets developers reimagine how their apps look and feel, making every user interaction even more intuitive and delightful.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:26:58
We're continuing to integrate Apple Intelligence across our ecosystem with so many new features that are right where you need them in the apps you use every day. Whether you're communicating across languages with Live Translation, exploring the content of any app with Visual Intelligence, feeling motivated during a run with Workout Buddy, accelerating your workflows with powerful shortcuts, and more, these brand new Apple Intelligence features continue to elevate your iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, and iPad with intelligence that is most helpful and relevant for you. And as you've seen, in addition to everything in these releases for our users, it's also a huge year for developers.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:26:56

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:26:42
So those are the updates to our software platforms with so many helpful features to enhance your daily activities. And as you saw throughout today's presentation, with Apple Intelligence, our platforms are more powerful and more useful than ever.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:26:15
With accelerated workflows for working with audio and video, huge improvements to working with files, and the biggest update to windowing on iPad ever, this release of iPadOS is a game changer. We couldn't be more excited for you to try it. And there's even more that we didn't have time to cover today, like advanced 3D graphing capabilities and Math Notes, a new reed pen for a traditional calligraphy experience, and the Journal app, which comes to iPad with Apple Pencil support. So that's iPadOS 26. With a new design, even more features powered by Apple Intelligence, and a giant leap forward in productivity, it takes iPad's unique capabilities even further. This is the biggest iPadOS release ever.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:26:00
Combined with updates for controlling your audio input and capturing high-quality content, these improvements will make creative pros even more effective. Back to you, Craig.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:25:51

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:24:38
Next, when it's time to edit and export your content, we're making that even easier by enabling Background Tasks on iPad. With the incredible power of Apple silicon, iPad can run long-running and computationally heavy tasks in the background. So if you start an extended process, like an export, and switch to another app, the task will continue to run. Background Tasks show up as Live Activities, so you always know what's running and you always have full control. And for developers, apps like Shapr3D and DaVinci Resolve will be able to take advantage of the same continuous processing with an updated Background Tasks API.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:24:19
Echo cancellation of other participants' audio keeps your voice front and center. So you get a clear recording of your side of the call. Once it’s over, everyone who used Local capture can easily share their own audio and video files, letting you produce an interview or podcast with the clearest recordings gathered from every source.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:23:58

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:23:30
For even more convenience, creators can now record studio-quality vocals directly with AirPods, thanks to improved tonal balance and timbre to authentically represent the texture of your voice, making AirPods a great choice for producing content. And to make recording from a distance even easier, creators can use AirPods to start and stop video recording with a simple press and hold. We've also made something for all you podcasters out there who record using video calls. Local capture lets you produce amazing content with high-quality recordings right from iPad. It works with any of your favorite video conferencing apps. Just turn it on in Control Center and your own local high-quality audio and video are captured on your iPad.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:23:10

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:23:01
This year, we're also enabling more complex workflows for working with audio and video, beginning with better control over your audio input. Content creators want to have control over their setup, including the accessories that give them the best quality, like high-end microphones. To help easily specify which microphone to use, we added an audio input selector. It can even be used to choose a different one for each app. This applies to the web as well, so creators can use their favorite sites, like Alitu, to capture audio with the microphone best suited for the job. Audio can be made even better by blocking ambient sounds while recording. So we’re making Voice Isolation available no matter what app is being used, keeping voices clear and crisp.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:22:23

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:21:49
When you tap on one, it fans out showing the files inside. Perfect for getting to your downloads, most recent documents, or a favorite folder no matter what app you’re in. And it's easy to drag in and out of your folders too. Now one type of file you might be opening is a PDF. And to help you with that, we’re bringing a beloved app from macOS to iPadOS: Preview. Preview is a dedicated app to view and edit your PDFs with powerful tools like Apple Pencil Markup and Autofill, making it easy to access, annotate, fill in, or highlight. And it also includes familiar tools to edit images and export them in a variety of different formats and sizes. With the updated Files app, folders on the Dock, and Preview, it's never been easier to work with files in iPadOS.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:21:03

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:20:56

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:20:50
Let's talk about files. When you're working on more complex projects, like creating a website, editing a lot of photos, or designing a presentation, you're often handling lots of files across lots of apps. To make this easier, we have a set of enhancements for managing, accessing, and editing your files. First up, we're supercharging the Files app. It now includes features like an updated list view to see more details in resizable columns and collapsible folders. It also gets the same folder customization options as macOS, with custom colors and icons that sync across devices, making it easy to spot the one you’re looking for. And you can now choose which app you want to open a file with and set it as a default, like picking Photoshop, VSCO, or Darkroom for opening images. For easier access to your files, you can now put folders in the Dock. Simply drag any folder from the Files app right into the Dock.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:19:54
Wow, more windows, a pointier pointer, and a menu bar? Who would have thought? We’ve truly pulled off a mind-blowing release. And this isn't just great on iPad Pro and iPad Air. The new windowing architecture has enabled us to bring it to every iPad that runs iPadOS 26, including iPad and iPad mini. It also works great with Stage Manager and on external displays. It's a massive update to the way you work with multiple apps at once on iPad. Now, to tell you about some other updates, here's Tonna.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:19:39

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:19:18
Sometimes you need a way to see and access all the features of an app. So we're also adding a menu bar on iPad. It's always available from the top of the screen. It's arranged to be familiar with clear labeled options, and it's a great way to find the features you need quickly. And that's a quick look at the menu bar and how windowing works in iPadOS 26. Back to you, Craig.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:19:07

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:19:02

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:18:55
And if I need an app that’s not in my Dock, I can simply swipe home to peek at my Home Screen. Tapping an app opens it, along with all my previous windows. To quickly see all my open windows, I now have Exposé. With a swipe up from the bottom and hold, my windows spread out, and a tap brings the one I need to the front. If I need to make space or focus in on one app, I just swipe home, and another swipe up minimizes everything. So now when I open an app, it opens by itself, and I can start fresh, making it easy to always get back to the distinct simplicity of iPad.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:18:20
If I click and hold on my window controls, I'll see even more tiling options. Let's choose quarters. With this rearchitected windowing system, I also have the power to open even more windows.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:18:14

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:18:00
And now I also have a pointer that's more precise and responsive. When I use it to hover over these new buttons in the top left, they expand into familiar controls. I can use these to close or minimize my windows. And a tap on their app icon brings them right back. Another way I can arrange my windows is with tiling. Since this is designed for the unique qualities of iPad, I can simply flick windows towards the edges to tile. It's so fluid and makes arranging my windows super easy. There's even a little grabber here to resize both at the same time.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:17:40

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:17:24
This rearchitected and redesigned windowing system maintains the simplicity of iPad. When I first open an app, it shows up full screen. I can swipe home and open another, and it's still full screen. So if this is how you like to use iPad, it's just as simple as ever. But now I also have this grab handle in the bottom right to fluidly resize apps into windows. If I previously resized apps, when I open them again, they open back in the exact same size and position, and I can place them just where I want them. This is designed to work great with touch or with a trackpad.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:17:04
It’s designed for the unique qualities of iPad and delivers on what users are asking for with a collection of powerful features that help you control, arrange, and switch between your windows. And we think it's pretty great. To show it to you, here's Cindy.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:16:25
Over the years, we've pushed the limits of how portable, powerful, and versatile iPad can be. And it's empowered customers around the world, whether they’re just trying to escape with some “me time” on the couch or using iPad as a canvas to imagine their next big endeavor. So many people feel deeply connected to iPad, and some want to do even more with it. So this year, we’re continuing to push the capabilities of iPadOS even further by focusing on improving multitasking and how you work with files and audio and video. Let's get started with multitasking, where we're taking a huge leap forward. This is what you've all been waiting for: a new windowing system on iPad.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:16:16

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:15:57
iPadOS 26 is a giant release. It starts with a beautiful new design, making your entire experience more delightful. From the Lock Screen with the new time layout, to the Home Screen with redesigned app icons and widgets, to apps like Apple TV, where there's even more focus on your content. And with Apple Intelligence integrated across iPadOS, you can communicate seamlessly across language barriers with Live Translation, and tap into Apple Intelligence to supercharge your shortcuts. There are also many other features you heard about on iOS and macOS that are great for everyone who uses iPad, including Messages with polls and enhanced group chats, the new Phone app, which lets you make and take calls, and the brand new Games app for all your games and the friends you play with. And all these amazing features are only the start.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:15:46

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:14:55

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:14:34
And web developers can embed 3D objects directly into their pages, so you can see them in line with depth and dimension, and pull them right into your space for a closer look. This, combined with spatial browsing, marks the beginning of the spatial web. And there are many other new features we think you'll love, like a spectacular new Jupiter environment. Standing on the moon Amalthea, you'll be able to speed up time to watch enormous storms swirl across the gas giant as sunlight breaks across its surface. And that's visionOS 26, a huge release that delivers more spatial experiences than ever before, new ways to stay connected with Vision Pro users near and far, and big opportunities for enterprises, developers, and creators to deliver groundbreaking features and content. Now here's Craig to tell you about what's coming in iPadOS.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:13:58

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:13:42
You can now relive these awesome moments like you're there all over again.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:13:27
Of course, people aren't just working and playing in Vision Pro, they also love watching spatial content. Like Apple Immersive Video, which puts you at the heart of the most exciting stories, events, and adventures with unmatched realism. And with visionOS 26, we're enabling more ways to produce great new content. Like the brand new Adobe app for visionOS, powered by Premiere, that will let you edit and preview spatial video directly in Vision Pro. Many people have extensive libraries of exciting action videos, but playing them on traditional 2D displays makes them appear flat and distorted. To solve this, we've partnered with GoPro, Insta360, and Canon to support native playback of 180, 360, and wide field-of-view video on visionOS.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:13:17
We're also expanding how you can interact with content and experiences by introducing support for spatial accessories that enable input in six degrees of freedom. We're excited to share Logitech Muse built for Vision Pro, which unlocks entirely new creative workflows. Logitech Muse will let you draw and collaborate in three dimensions with precision in apps like Spatial Analogue. And we're thrilled to share that Sony is bringing support for PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers to visionOS 26. Games for visionOS, like Pickle Pro, can take advantage of the full motion tracking performance for more engaging gameplay.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:12:50
Hundreds of companies worldwide use Vision Pro's unique hardware and software to supercharge their workflows for design, training, sales, and more. With visionOS 26, organizations can easily share a common pool of devices among team members. And you can securely save your eye and hand data, vision prescription, and accessibility settings to your iPhone, so you can quickly start to use a shared team device or a friend's Vision Pro as a Guest User. We're also adding more APIs so enterprises can create revolutionary apps only possible on visionOS. For instance, the new Protected Content API. It's literally a for-your-eyes-only mode, ensuring that only people who've been granted access can see confidential materials like medical records or business forecasts.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:12:33
And this will be great for enterprise, where users can collaborate using apps like 3DLive from Dassault Systèmes to visualize 3D designs in person and with remote colleagues.

To tell you about even more enterprise features, back to Mike.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:10:08
Some of the best experiences on Vision Pro are shared with others. So to make sharing even better, we’re making big changes to Personas. We first released Personas as a beta feature that represents you when you're on a video call. With visionOS 26, Personas will undergo a dramatic transformation and more realistically represent you. These enhancements are striking.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:09:57
And developers like Zillow can add them into their own apps for more lifelike experiences too.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:09:39
Last year, we made it easy to add natural-looking depth to your 2D photos. With visionOS 26, we're making your memories feel even more realistic. It uses a new AI algorithm that leverages computational depth to create multiple perspectives from your 2D photos, making the images more lifelike. These spatial scenes feel as if you could lean right into them and look around. We can't wait for you to try this out in the Photos app. You can also view these in the new Spatial Gallery app, where you can explore fresh and exciting content curated by Apple. Spatial scenes will make your web browsing experience more engaging too. Simply select spatial browsing to transform supported articles, hiding distractions and revealing inline photos that come alive as you scroll.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:09:25
Earlier, iOS introduced us to spatial scenes, and they're also coming to visionOS. Here's Haley to tell you about it.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:09:16
Music for quick access to your favorite tunes. And Photos which can transform a stunning panorama into a window to another time or place. All these and more can be found in the new Widgets app, including ones from your favorite compatible apps. And developers can create widgets for their apps too.


visionOS will also remember where you put your apps, so you can arrange your space with digital content that will be there every time you put on Vision Pro, even if you restart it.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:09:07
Weather that adapts to today's forecast.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:08:51
And this is in addition to Apple Intelligence features introduced today, like updates to Image Playground, new supported languages, and more. Let's start with some of the amazing new spatial experiences coming to visionOS, like widgets. Users love widgets. They offer personalized and useful information at a glance. In visionOS, they become spatial, integrating seamlessly into your space. And they are persistent, staying right where you place them. They're also customizable. Frame width, color, and depth can all be personalized to your liking. visionOS now has beautiful new widgets like Clock with distinctive and exquisitely detailed clock face designs.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:07:22
Just last year, we delivered Apple Vision Pro, a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world. Consumers and enterprises alike love Vision Pro because it unlocks experiences that just weren't possible before. This year, we're introducing an expansive update to visionOS. visionOS 26 is packed with groundbreaking spatial experiences, powerful features for enterprise, expanded input with new spatial accessories, and exciting spatial content to enjoy.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:07:12
Next, to tell you all about what's coming in visionOS, here's Mike.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:07:02
Or inZOI, which brings new life to player-driven storytelling with deep customization and gorgeous visuals. Apple silicon and MetalFX make every character and light source feel vivid and real, while the Neural Engine delivers exceptional performance for AI models. You can pre-order inZOI on Mac starting today, and it will be available later this year alongside consoles and PCs. So that's what's new with gaming on Mac. And that wraps up macOS Tahoe, a stunningly powerful release. It introduces a gorgeous new design, delightful Continuity experiences, along with great features to turbocharge your productivity.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:06:31
From design to Continuity and productivity, macOS Tahoe delivers great updates across the board. It also levels up the gaming experience, starting with the new Games app, which brings together all the games you have on Mac. And when you're in the game, a click on a controller brings up the new Game Overlay, where you can adjust the system settings that matter most mid-game, chat with friends, or invite them to play. And for developers, macOS Tahoe introduces Metal 4, which brings next-generation rendering technologies to games, like frame interpolation, denoising, and more. Alongside these improvements, there's a growing catalog of incredible titles. So many games have recently arrived, and there are even more on the way. Like Crimson Desert from Pearl Abyss, which takes advantage of Apple silicon to deliver incredible visuals and dynamic effects, providing a breathtaking open world with immersive details.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:06:17
So that's a glimpse at how Spotlight and Shortcuts power up my workflow. And for developers, you can make your apps content and actions discoverable in Spotlight and available for use in Shortcuts using the App Intents API. Now, back to Craig.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:06:07
Awesome. There it is with all the edits I just made. I’ll just move it over here with my Favorite Concepts. The team is gonna have fun with this one.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:05:48

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:04:31
Now that this is in great shape, I wanna add it to the Freeform board where my team and I organize our big ideas. I'll search for that board in Spotlight.

Spotlight knows I add docs to this Ideas board regularly, so it actually offers that as an action, right here. It's all ready to go with the document queued up in everything.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:04:21

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:04:15
The shortcut then takes that document, taps into Apple Intelligence models, and gives me fresh ideas. Check it out.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:03:43
This is super helpful to get back to an image, some text, or a link I copied earlier in the day. There’s the chart I had in mind. I’ll hit return and bring it into my doc. And let's just resize that and bring it into the corner.

Perfect. This is coming together, but it could use a better tagline. I've got a shortcut I've built for moments like this. I can run it from Spotlight, and I can get to it even faster with the quick key I’ve assigned to it: “ct” for Create Taglines. Spotlight is now contextually aware and suggests using the document I'm currently working in.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:03:38

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:03:21
There's a chart that I copied earlier today that I wanna bring in here too. What's great is that with macOS Tahoe, I can now use Spotlight to get to my clipboard history.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:02:16

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:01:36
You can even fill out parameters for an action. Say you want to send an email. You can write the message, set the recipient, and add a subject, all without lifting your hands off the keyboard. Plus, many bar items for the app you're in can be accessed right from Spotlight. And for developers, these are surfaced in Spotlight automatically. This is great in a feature-rich app like Acorn. To make taking action in Spotlight even faster, we’re introducing quick keys. These are short strings of characters that get you right to what you're looking for. For instance, sending a message can be done by simply typing "sm" and adding a new reminder can be done by typing “ar” and then just typing the reminder.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:01:05

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:00:48
You can access Apple Intelligence models on device, with Private Cloud Compute, or use ChatGPT if you wanna tap into its broad world knowledge and expertise. One of the quickest ways you can run shortcuts is with Spotlight, where we've got more updates to share. Spotlight has always been the central place to search for things. And now, Spotlight is getting its biggest update ever. To start, Spotlight is becoming the fastest way to browse your content on Mac. It puts your most relevant files within easy reach, including intelligent suggestions based on your routines or what you're currently working on. You can also see all your apps. And thanks to iPhone Mirroring, you can even launch apps that you only have on your iPhone, like Headspace. We're also introducing system and app actions in Spotlight. You can take hundreds of actions from creating an event to starting an audio recording, or even playing a podcast. And you can do this no matter what app you're currently working in.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:00:32
Shortcuts help people get more done, faster every day. They combine multiple steps from your favorite apps to create powerful personal automations. In macOS Tahoe, you can run them automatically, for example, at a specific time of day, or when you take actions like saving a file to a folder or connecting to a display. And with Apple Intelligence, we're introducing intelligent actions that let you create shortcuts that are more powerful than ever. You'll see dedicated actions for features that you're already familiar with, like summarizing text with Writing Tools or creating images with Image Playground. We've also added an incredibly powerful new action that lets you tap directly into Apple Intelligence models and provides responses that feed into the rest of your shortcut. For example, if you're a student, you can build a shortcut to compare your recording from a lecture to the notes you took and add any key points you missed.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:00:24

iClarified - 2025-06-09 11:00:21
Next, let's talk about some new features inspired by how pros work on Mac, starting with Shortcuts. Here's Raja to tell you more.

And the Phone app on Mac includes all the great updates we talked about earlier, like Hold Assist, Call Screening, and Live Translation. So that’s what’s new in Continuity.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:58:16
Speaking of great new experiences, let’s talk about the power of Continuity. Continuity helps you work seamlessly across Apple devices. And we're excited to introduce two new Continuity features. First, we're bringing Live Activities to Mac. So if you've ordered Uber Eats on your iPhone, the Live Activity also appears in the menu bar. And when you click, the app opens in iPhone Mirroring, so you can take action directly on your Mac. We're also enhancing the calling experience by bringing the Phone app to Mac. You can conveniently access your familiar content like Recents, Contacts, and Voicemail synced from iPhone, and easily make a call with just a click. Incoming calls look beautiful on the bigger screen featuring stunning Contact Posters of your friends and family.

Let me introduce you to macOS Tahoe.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:55:42
macOS is loved by everyone from students and creatives to developers and anyone who appreciates its beautifully simple and powerful experience. This year, we’re building on what you love most about macOS with a release made for all of its different users. But what should we call it? Well, our crack product marketing team was adamant that they’d fully earned their annual paycheck the moment they noticed that years end in two-digit numbers. But macOS demands more. Fortunately, after carving some bodacious tracks during one of their mandatory weekly Ski Strategy Sessions, they bumbled into their legendary microbus and let gravity guide them to a breathtaking spot where crystal clear waters meet majestic mountain peaks. They'd found it.

With tvOS, singing along with Apple Music gets even better. Your iPhone becomes the mic, amplifying your voice through the TV with visual effects that light up the big screen. When you're with friends, everyone can join in, using their own iPhone to add songs to the queue, react with on-screen emoji, or take a turn and sing along with their favorite artist.

And that's just some of what's coming to tvOS 26.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:53:31
And that was just a taste. Hope y'all are ready. With so much to enjoy, it's important to quickly get to the shows you love. And that's exactly what profiles deliver. Now, you can set Apple TV to display profiles whenever it wakes from sleep, so everyone at home can choose their own and jump right back into the TV, sports, and music that matter most to them. And for developers, tvOS also introduces a new API for Automatic Sign-In, linking app logins to an Apple Account. That means no more signing in across each of your Apple devices, greatly simplifying how you set up a new Apple TV. Of course, watching great shows is just one part of what makes Apple TV so powerful. Apple Music is another favorite, whether you’re relaxing to a chill playlist or sharing a spotlight with Sing.

And as you browse, you'll see a bold new look with beautiful cinematic poster art, making it fun and easy to explore all your favorite shows and movies. Of course, with Apple TV+, there's always something new to watch, with a fantastic lineup of Originals coming. Let's take a sneak peek.

tvOS brings the best of Apple into your living room. Like Apple TV+ Original shows and movies, the massive Apple Music catalog, and everything you love from our app developers. With tvOS 26, we're making Apple TV more enjoyable than ever. And it all begins with the new design with Liquid Glass, which looks incredible on the big screen. App icons feel more vibrant, thanks to their layered design and new specular highlights that bring depth and detail to every edge. Next, let's take a look at some of the changes coming to two of our most popular apps, starting with TV and how the new design enhances the Apple TV app experience. As you settle into a show like Your Friends & Neighbors on Apple TV+, you'll immediately notice how playback controls refract the content underneath, beautifully complementing the action without distracting from the story. This unobtrusive design carries through to Control Center, so when you're setting a sleep timer, the video still shines through.

The Smart Stack can intelligently show a widget for Slopes when you arrive at a ski resort with improved location APIs, And now, Dark Noise can add a custom control to Control Center, so it can easily turn on a sleep soundscape without picking up your iPhone. That's what's coming to WatchOS 26. A delightful new design with Liquid Glass, more intelligence and messages, hints for the smart stack, and a new wrist flick gesture. And Apple Intelligence comes to Fitness with Workout Buddy. Next up, here's Justin to talk about tvOS.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:48:59
For times when you do want to address a notification, like a text from a friend, the Messages app gets even better with many of the features you heard about earlier. With Apple Intelligence, Live Translation makes staying connected to your loved ones who speak a different language as simple as raising your wrist. Conversation backgrounds elevate the experience. And now, based on the context of the message, you can quickly perform new actions that are intelligently provided using machine learning, like sharing your location through Find My when someone’s looking for you. We’re also giving you a quick new way to capture what’s important with Notes, which now comes to Apple Watch. It’s perfect for when you want to save a quick note to yourself or view an existing note, like the great TV recommendation you got from your friend, so you can get started on Season 1 of Stick right away. WatchOS also has new APIs for developers.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:48:37

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:48:20
We’re also making Apple Watch more proactive with enhancements to notifications. You might use Silent mode to avoid receiving a loud alert at an inopportune moment. [DING] Like that. But now Apple Watch can interpret the ambient noise in your environment and automatically adjust the volume of incoming calls and notifications. [QUIET DING] Much better. And when you receive a notification that you want to address later, a new wrist flick gesture will dismiss it and take you back to your watch face. You can also use wrist flick to mute incoming calls, silence timers and alarms, or even close the Smart Stack. Wrist flick adds to the convenient gestures like double tap, and we can't wait for you to try it.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:47:02
watchOS also enhances features like the Smart Stack, which has fundamentally changed how you interact with Apple Watch by quickly identifying what matters in the moment and prioritizing that information for you. This year, the Smart Stack improves its prediction algorithm by fusing on-device data, like points of interest, location, and more, and trends from your daily routine, so it can accurately predict features that could be immediately useful to you. So when you walk into your gym for that regular morning session, a Smart Stack hint will subtly appear. And when you open the Smart Stack, a widget will be ready for you to start your workout. Or when Apple Watch detects that you’re in a remote location with no connectivity, a hint will appear to start Backtrack to support you while you’re off the grid.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:46:51
And there are new media features built right into the app. For your music, you can keep it simple and let Apple Music choose the best playlist based on the workout you’re doing and the music you love. Or instead of having Apple Music choose, you can select playlists or podcasts that are suggested based on what you’ve been listening to for that type of workout. So whether it’s your media or Workout Buddy, getting active has never been more inspiring. Back to David.

It’s personal and private and will be available starting in English across the most popular workout types. So no matter where, when, or how you get your workout in, it’ll be the boost you need to reach the finish line. Workout is one of the most popular apps on Apple Watch, so we wanted to give it a brand new layout. Now, features like Custom Workout and Race Route are just a tap away, so you can easily create a Custom Workout with work and recovery intervals, or race against your last or best time from your favorite route.

Great job starting your run. This is your second run this week. You’re crushing it, closing that Move ring for six straight days. Let’s keep building on that with your run today, fueled by some house vibes from Mura Masa. Workout Buddy will also mark key moments. Four miles down. Your last mile was your fastest yet, coming in at 8 minutes and 56 seconds. Your average heart rate for that split was 157 beats per minute. And can help you celebrate accomplishments.

The Workout app is updated, so it’s easier to access what you need. As soon as you start your run, Workout Buddy can kick off with a pep talk.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:43:52
Workout Buddy is pretty incredible. It simultaneously gathers all the data from your workout and rapidly analyzes vast amounts of your fitness history, like your paces, miles logged, Activity rings closed, even your training load to identify meaningful insights in real time. Combined with Apple Intelligence on your iPhone, it provides you with just the right encouragement. A brand new text-to-speech model translates that encouragement into a dynamic, generative voice. It’s built using voice data from a Fitness Plus trainer, so it has the right energy, style, and tone for a workout. And you can choose from multiple voices to hear the one that's right for you. Let's see it in action.

And as you heard earlier, it has the gorgeous new design with Liquid Glass to deliver a fresh look while maintaining the instant familiarity of watchOS. It brings a more expressive experience in places like the Smart Stack, the numerals of the Photos face, Control Center, and in-app navigation and controls while bringing more focus to your content. In addition to these design updates, watchOS now uses intelligence to gain a deeper understanding of you and proactively give you what you need, starting with Workout. For times when you need a little more inspiration, watchOS introduces an exciting new fitness feature, Workout Buddy.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:41:36
So those are just a few examples of how Visual Intelligence makes it faster to do more with the content on your iPhone screen. For developers, you can use App Intents to integrate search capabilities from your apps into this experience. We’re also making it possible for you to search visually across your most-used apps using Visual Intelligence with the iPhone camera. So you can simply point your iPhone when you want to search the Anthropologie app for a cool item you spot at a cafe. We're excited for all the ways that Visual Intelligence will help you do more with what’s in front of you. So that's iOS 26.

Now, back to Craig.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:41:02
If I have a question about something on my screen, like this instrument, I can simply tap on the Ask button in the bottom left to ask ChatGPT, “Which rock songs is this instrument featured in?” I love that I can jog my memory like this without jumping between apps. And there it is. Just what I wanted to know. Visual Intelligence makes it easy for me to search across apps, take action, and ask questions.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:40:38
Now I want to see what else is going on. Okay, suppose I come across an event I'm interested in, and I want to add it to my calendar. Visual Intelligence makes this easier than ever. Notice the Add to Calendar suggestion at the bottom? With Apple Intelligence, it can extract the date, time, and location and pre-populate them. I'll tap Create Event. Easy as that. I want to show you one last example.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:40:18
I dig this lamp, so I'll bring up Visual Intelligence. And now, I can highlight a search for similar lamps across my most used apps, like Etsy. And when I tap on a result I like, it takes me right into the app, so I can save this lamp to my favorites.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:39:59
Now at the top, I have screenshot controls like markup and share. At the bottom, I have Visual Intelligence tools like this image search button in the bottom right. I can tap here to find similar images on Google or other apps I use frequently. Thanks to Visual Intelligence, I know where to get a jacket like this.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:39:22
Visual Intelligence makes it faster to do more with the content on your iPhone screen. And it works automatically with any app. Say I open a social media app and I see this great jacket. I want to know where I can get something like this. I can find out with Visual Intelligence and I can access it with a familiar gesture by pressing the same buttons I use to take a screenshot.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:38:40
We have one more update to iOS we want to tell you about today, and that’s a big update to Visual Intelligence. Visual Intelligence builds on Apple Intelligence to help you explore your surroundings. So you can simply press the Camera Control or Action button to pull up ratings for a cafe you walk by, or find sneakers similar to the ones you see when you’re out and about. It’s the fastest way to learn about the objects and places around you. And now we’re extending Visual Intelligence to your iPhone screen, so you can search and take action across your apps using anything you’re viewing. And we’ve designed it so you can tap into the capability of apps from across the App Store. To give you a closer look, here's Billy.

And for developers, challenges are built on top of Game Center leaderboards, so single-player games can be turned into fun competitions with friends, offering even more ways to rally a group, see scores in real time, crown a winner, and have a rematch. So that’s the Games app, your all-in-one destination for games and playing with friends.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:37:36
Next, head over to the Play Together tab to see what your friends are playing, compare scores and achievements, and invite them to play. We’re also making it easier to bring friends in on the fun with Challenges, a new way to compete with friends in score-based showdowns. You’ll find them in some of the most exciting games on the App Store, like Thronefall, where you can challenge your friends to see who can survive the most waves of enemies, and in popular Apple Arcade games like Skate City New York to compete on racking up the highest score in each week’s featured course.

There's a dedicated tab for Apple Arcade, where subscribers can access the whole catalog and the latest updates and releases. And over on the Library tab, you can see all the games you’ve ever downloaded from the App Store. You can easily jump back into the games you want to continue playing, whether in portrait or landscape. And it works great with a controller, making it easy to move from one game to the other.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:36:39
People love playing games on iPhone.

They’re currently available in nine states, plus Puerto Rico, with more to come. And starting this fall, you can create a Digital ID with your U.S. passport. While not a replacement for your physical passport, Digital ID can be used for domestic travel at supported TSA checkpoints, in apps, and in person where age and identity verification are required. And while at the airport, you’ll appreciate refreshed boarding passes in Wallet, which now include convenient access to indoor mapping that gets you around the airport quickly.

That's a quick peek at Maps. Next, Wallet. Apple Wallet helps make your day-to-day interactions with the physical world that much easier. Car keys in Wallet provide an easy and secure way to lock, unlock, and start your car with your iPhone or Apple Watch. Adoption by automakers continues to grow rapidly, with over 20 brands already offering car keys in Wallet, and 13 more coming soon, including Acura, Porsche, and Tata.

If your routine changes, your iPhone will adapt to it. And with the Maps widget, you can check your commute before you leave so you can get an idea of how long it’ll take. If there are significant delays, Maps will send you a notification with alternate route options, even if you didn’t start directions. So when you have that important meeting, you won’t be late due to an unexpected slowdown. If you’ve ever wanted to return to a great local business or park you went to in the past, or recommend it to a friend, but just can't remember the name, we're introducing Visited Places. You can choose to have your iPhone detect when you’re somewhere, like a restaurant or shop, and then view your Visited Places in the Maps library. Or simply search and share with a tap. Your Visited Places are easy to delete with a swipe and are protected with end-to-end encryption, so even Apple can't access them.

In iOS 26, your iPhone can better understand your routines to improve your daily commute and help you remember great places you’ve been. Most of us regularly go between places like home, school, and work. And we often have a favorite route with quick stops along the way, like dropping the kids off or grabbing a cup of coffee.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:32:07
Those are just some of the updates coming to Apple Music. Next, let's talk about Maps.

We're also introducing AutoMix, which uses intelligence to seamlessly mix from one song to the next, like a DJ, time stretching and beat matching at the perfect moment.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:31:12
Let's start with Apple Music. We’re making it easier to fall in love with music from all around the world. First, we’re adding Lyrics Translation to help you understand the meaning behind your favorite songs.

And Lyrics Pronunciation, so everyone can sing along to the music, regardless of language.

For developers, it’s easy to enable Live Translation for calls within your communication apps with a new API. So that's Live Translation, a powerful communication tool. Whether you're traveling abroad, collaborating at work or school, or simply catching up with the people who matter most to you.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:30:15
This works seamlessly, even when you call someone who doesn't have an iPhone.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:30:03
When you're on a phone call, your words are translated as you talk. And the translation is spoken out loud for the call recipients.

Now let’s talk about a feature we’re building across our communication apps: Translation. There are moments when you’d like to express an idea, question, or feeling, but a language barrier gets in the way. To help you communicate across languages, we're introducing Live Translation. With Apple Intelligence, Live Translation can translate conversations on the fly. It’s integrated into Messages, FaceTime, and Phone. And it's enabled by Apple-built models that run entirely on device. So your personal conversations stay personal. For instance, in Messages, Live Translation can automatically translate text for you. So if you’re making plans with some new friends while studying abroad, your message can be translated as you type and delivered in their preferred language. And when they respond, each text can be instantly translated for you.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:28:27
And for moments when you have a specific idea in mind, tap Any Style and describe what you want, like a realistic image for a baby shower invitation. Image Playground sends your description or photos to ChatGPT and gets you a unique image. You're always in control, and nothing is shared with ChatGPT without your permission. And for developers, you can integrate these new capabilities into your apps with the Image Playground API.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:27:38
You can even combine emoji with descriptions. So if you’re inviting your friends over for karaoke night, you can mix a woman emoji with a microphone and add a sequined jacket. And when you’re making images inspired by family and friends using Genmoji and Image Playgrounds, you have even more control. You have the option to change expressions, like making your friend look shocked or making them laugh. You can also adjust things like hairstyle, so the image matches your friend’s latest look. And in Image Playground, you can now make images using ChatGPT. In addition to existing styles, like Animation or Sketch, you have new ChatGPT styles, like an oil painting style for your friend’s Contact Poster, so you can see her elegant portrait every time she calls.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:26:57

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:26:53
This year, we’re making everyday conversations more fun and more seamless. First, there are more ways to create the perfect emoji. Now, in addition to turning a text description into a Genmoji, you can mix together two emoji to create something new, like a sloth and a light bulb, for that moment when you’re the last one in the group chat to get the joke.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:26:23
New on-device spam detection gets spam out of your way. And for even more control, we’re introducing the ability for you to screen new senders. So your messages go from this, a list cluttered with spam and unknown numbers, to this, giving you total control over who appears in your conversation list. Unknown senders appear in a dedicated area where you can decide if you want to mark the number as known, ask for more information, or delete. Until you accept, messages from unknown senders will remain silenced and won't appear as notifications. Even with unknown senders turned on, you'll continue to see important time-sensitive messages, like your table is ready or a verification code. We’re excited for another big year for Messages. And now to tell you how Apple Intelligence is unlocking new ways to communicate. Here's Leslie.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:25:56
We can’t wait to bring you these exciting updates to group chats. Just like in the Phone app, we’re bringing screening tools to Messages that help you eliminate distractions.

Like if someone asks, where should we stay for our annual trip? And when your more particular friends don’t like the options, anyone in the group can contribute new ideas. Then watch as the votes roll in live.

And groups are getting even better with Apple Cash. Now you can request, send, and receive Apple Cash to settle up on concert tickets or the dinner bill right from the group chat. We’re also bringing a highly-requested feature, typing indicators for your group chats, which lets you know who is about to chime in.

Next, let's talk about group chats. Group chats are home to so many age-old questions, like, what weekend is everyone free? Instead of dealing with a flurry of responses, we’re introducing a delightful way to visualize what the people want with Polls. You can create a poll for anything. And with Apple Intelligence, messages can detect when a poll might come in handy and suggest one.

Messages provides a shared space to express ourselves with the people that are closest to us. This year, we’re giving you an exciting new way to bring personality to those shared spaces with Backgrounds. When you select a background, it appears for everyone in the conversation to enjoy. You have a variety of dynamic, built-in backgrounds to choose from or select one of your own photos. And with Apple Intelligence, you can even generate your own backgrounds in Image Playground.

Don't worry. Once a live agent becomes available, we'll ring you to return to the call and let the agent know that you’ll be there shortly. So those are the exciting updates to the Phone app. Another way we stay connected on a daily basis is with Messages.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:23:49
We have another great experience to help you on your least favorite kind of call, one where you're put on hold. We know how frustrating it is to be stuck on hold for what feels like forever just to finally speak with a live agent. Well, get that time back with Hold Assist. With Hold Assist, the phone app can keep your spot in line while you wait for a live agent. Next time you’re stuck on hold, whether it’s because you’re changing your flight or dealing with utility bills, the Phone app automatically detects hold music and asks if you want it to wait for you. When you tap Hold, the music stops, but the call stays connected, so you can keep using your iPhone or even put it away and go about your daily routines.

Building on Live Voicemail, Call Screening automatically answers calls from unknown numbers, silently in the background.

Once the caller shares their name and the reason for their call, your phone rings. And you can view their response and pick up or ignore.

The phone app is fundamental to the iPhone experience, so anything we can do to make it easier to use can have a big impact. This year, we’re giving you the option to choose a new unified layout that brings together your Favorites, Recents, and Voicemails, so your most-used features are right at your fingertips without having to switch views. Your Favorites stay front and center, so you can start a call with just a tap. Your Recents and Voicemails now appear in a single convenient list below, so you can easily scroll to see who reached out and what they said. And with Apple Intelligence, new voicemail summaries help surface the most important information. And at the bottom, your Contacts and the keypad are still just a tap away. This new intuitive layout makes it easier to navigate the app while feeling instantly familiar. We're also introducing a new way to help eliminate distractions like unwanted calls, which can get in the way of picking up the important calls we're waiting for.

So that's a quick look at some of the ways the new design elevates your experiences. Of course, this is just the start. iOS 26 also has a number of updates that will help you communicate, stay connected, and express yourself. To tell you more, here's Darin.

It's the very best of iPhone and your car, with a unified and consistent experience across all the driver's screens. The first vehicles launched last month bringing new ways to interact with features of your car. CarPlay Ultra lets you choose the layout and design of the most important information for you, and adds vehicle controls for features like the radio and climate right in the CarPlay experience. This is just the start of the CarPlay Ultra journey, with many more brands around the world working to bring this experience to market. We're so excited to work with different automakers, combining their unique look and feel, as well as vehicle features, with the power of iPhone. And now, back to you, Craig.

iOS 26 also gives you widgets in CarPlay. They're quick and glanceable ways to get information, which is perfect while driving, as well as Live Activities so you can stay on top of what’s important to you, like a friend's flight status, all done in a way to help you stay focused on the road. For developers, the same widgets and live activities that you've developed for iPhone work in CarPlay.

CarPlay is the smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while you drive. It’s used over 600 million times per day, and it’s a must-have feature all over the world. We have some great updates this year to make CarPlay more beautiful and even easier to use. With iOS 26, the new design extends into the car for a consistent, expressive experience while you drive. It brings updates across the whole system, including icons that look great in light or dark mode. We've also added new features to help keep you connected while driving, like a compact design when you get a call so you can still see what’s on the screen, like your upcoming directions, along with Tapbacks and pinned conversations in Messages.

As you scroll, the tab bar dynamically shrinks to put your content front and center. These dynamic controls also look great in FaceTime. When on a call, your most important controls now float on the bottom right and seamlessly recede when you don’t need them. We’ve also reimagined the FaceTime landing page. It’s now a space that celebrates your closest relationships with beautiful, personalized Contact Posters. Video messages play as you scroll so you can preview special moments that you may have missed. This updated experience also extends to your car with CarPlay. To tell you more, here's Emily.

When you view your captures, the Photos app takes advantage of the gorgeous new design. Many of you missed using tabs in the Photos app. Photos now features separate tabs for Library and for Collections, where you’ll find your Favorites, your albums, and easy access to search. And the stunning 3D effect that you saw in the Lock Screen is available in Photos, so you can experience any of your photos as an incredible spatial scene. In Safari, we’ve kept familiar elements while creating a more immersive experience. Web pages now flow edge to edge to the very bottom of the screen, enabling you to see more of the page. The tab bar has been redesigned to float above the web page, and surfaces frequently-used actions like search and refresh. With a tap, Liquid Glass controls fluidly reveal other actions.

With so many great features, it can sometimes be difficult to find the ones you want, especially when rushing to capture a shot. With iOS 26, we’re giving Camera a new, more intuitive design. A simplified and streamlined design elevates the two capture modes that you use most: photo and video. And all the powerful features that you love in Camera are just a tap away. For example, just swipe your finger left or right to reveal additional modes, like Cinematic mode or Portrait mode. And a simple swipe up lets you easily reach all your settings, like aspect ratio and timers. And it’s easier to change formats. All of the options become visible with a single tab, so you can quickly switch to 4K when you want to capture every detail.

With advanced computer vision techniques running on the Neural Engine, we generate a spatial scene from your 2D photos, creating a delightful 3D effect, bringing your favorite memories to life as you move your iPhone in your hand. Now, there's one last touch I really love when I'm listening to music. I can tap here and you'll see there's this gorgeous new way for artists to show off their album artwork. The animation interacts beautifully with the glass of the playback controls. Really nice. With gorgeous Liquid Glass that fluidly adapts, our captivating new spatial scenes, and our re-imagine Now Playing experience, the iconic Lock and Home Screens are more personal and expressive than ever. Next, let's talk about another essential part of the iPhone experience: Camera.

And watch as I switch images. The time now fluidly adapts to the available space. Its San Francisco typeface has been uniquely crafted to dynamically scale the weight, width, and height of each numeral in order to nestle into the scene.

And it doesn’t just adapt to the subjects of my photos. It also keeps the best part of my photo in view as new information comes in, like a message from a friend or an email from a colleague. And there's more. We love using personal photos as our Lock Screen wallpapers. Let me switch to another wallpaper to show you.

The Lock Screen has been updated with the time and controls now made of Liquid Glass. And swiping up to your Home Screen is even more delightful with this beautiful glass edge and a new sense of responsiveness. We've crafted app icons from Liquid Glass. It makes them feel fresh while keeping them instantly identifiable.

Today, we’ll be taking you through all of these, starting with iOS. iOS 26 is packed with intelligent experiences, meaningful improvements to the things you do every day, and a new design where we’ve also refreshed a number of system experiences and apps.

The new design extends to the Dock and even to your widgets, giving you an entirely new way to personalize your experience. We’ve always cared deeply about every detail of our software design. And it’s these moments of beauty, craft, and joy that bring our products to life. Our new design blurs the lines between hardware and software to create an experience that’s more delightful than ever while still familiar and easy to use.

And as a distinct functional layer that sits above your app, the material dynamically morphs when you need more options or as you move between views. We’ve applied this same dynamic nature across other experiences. Instead of taking over your whole display, alerts appear from where you tap. Context menus expand into an easily scannable list. When you scroll, tab bars shrink to elevate what’s in front of you, and they instantly come back the moment you scroll up. Your entire experience becomes more intuitive, from navigating apps to system experiences like the Lock Screen, notifications, and Control Center. App icons have been crafted with multiple layers of Liquid Glass and come to life in light mode, dark mode, colorful new tints, or an all new clear look.

Liquid Glass is translucent and behaves just like glass in the real world. Its color is informed by your content and intelligently adapts between light and dark environments.

With the optical qualities of glass and a fluidity that only Apple can achieve, it transforms depending on your content or even your context and brings more clarity to navigation and controls. It beautifully refracts light and dynamically reacts to your movement with specular highlights. This material brings a new level of vitality to every aspect of your experience. From the smallest elements you interact with to larger ones, it responds in real time to your content and your input, creating a more lively experience that we think you’ll find truly delightful. Elements once considered for rectangular displays have been redesigned to fit perfectly concentric with the rounded corners of the hardware.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:10:59

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:10:35

Inspired by the physicality and richness of visionOS, we challenged ourselves to make something purely digital feel natural and alive, from how it looks to how it feels as it dynamically responds to touch.

Today, we're excited to announce our broadest design update ever. Our goal is a beautiful new design that brings joy and delight to every user experience, one that's more personal and puts greater focus on your content, all while still feeling instantly familiar. And for the first time, we’re introducing a universal design across our platforms. This unified design language creates a more harmonious experience as you move between products while maintaining the qualities that make each unique.

Software is the heart and soul of our products. It brings them to life, shapes their personality, and defines their purpose. At Apple, we’ve always believed it’s the deep integration of hardware and software that makes interacting with technology intuitive, beautiful, and a joy to use. iOS 7 introduced a simplified design built on distinct layers, smooth animations, and new colors.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:08:42
Our last major redesign was iOS 7. Back then, we were inspired by the recent emergence of Retina displays and the amazing power of our A6 silicon. Well, a lot has changed. Apple silicon has become dramatically more powerful, enabling software materials and experiences we once could only dream of. And our devices have become even more vital to our daily lives, with more apps available than ever. Our products are also more frequently being used together as you move across them throughout your day. The stage is set for something new that will enable great experiences for years to come. Let's take a look.

We couldn't be more excited about how developers can build on Apple Intelligence to bring you new experiences that are smart, available when you're offline, and that protect your privacy. Now, there’s another piece of our platform story this year, and it's a big one. In fact, it’s the kind of project that only comes along about once per decade. It’s a gorgeous new design that feels effortless to use. Our last major redesign was iOS 7.

Throughout today's presentation, you'll see new Apple Intelligence features that elevate your experiences across iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, and iPad. Plus, this year, we’re doing something new, and we think it's gonna be pretty big. We’re opening up access for any app to tap directly into the on-device large language model at the core of Apple Intelligence with a new Foundation Models framework. This gives developers direct access to intelligence that's powerful, fast, built with privacy, and available even when you’re offline. We think this will ignite a whole new wave of intelligent experiences in the apps you use every day. For example, if you’re getting ready for an exam, an app like Kahoot! can create a personalized quiz from your notes to make studying more engaging. And because it uses on-device models, this happens without cloud API costs.

iClarified - 2025-06-09 10:06:43
We also introduced enhancements that make Siri more natural and more helpful. And as we’ve shared, we’re continuing our work to deliver the features that make Siri even more personal. This work needed more time to reach our high quality bar, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the coming year.

This year, we're expanding the languages supported by Apple Intelligence. We're making the generative models that power Apple Intelligence more capable and more efficient. And we're continuing to tap into Apple Intelligence in more places across our ecosystem. Throughout today's presentation, you'll see new Apple Intelligence features that elevate your experiences across iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, and iPad. Plus, this year, we’re doing something new, and we think it's gonna be pretty big.
