Apple’s WWDC 2025 is set to dazzle tech fans on June 9, starting with a keynote at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. Expect a bold new look for iOS, smarter AI tools, and a gaming app that could change how you play on your iPhone. Here’s what’s coming at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, according to TechCrunch.
A Stunning iOS Redesign
Get ready for the biggest iOS overhaul since 2013’s iOS 7! Apple is rumored to bring a sleek, visionOS-inspired design with transparent interfaces and circular app icons, ditching the classic square grid. This fresh style could roll out across iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and even CarPlay, creating a seamless vibe across your Apple devices. Plus, Apple might switch to a yearly naming system, so expect iOS 26, macOS 26, and more.
AI Gets Smarter
After a rocky start in the AI race, Apple is stepping up. Apple Intelligence will see updates, including a health chatbot in the Health app for personalized tips and AI-powered features in Messages, like translation and smart polls. An AI-driven Shortcuts app and battery management tools are also on the horizon. Apple may also add support for more AI chatbots, partnering with companies like OpenAI to boost iPhone capabilities.
A Game-Changing Gaming App
Gamers, rejoice! Apple is replacing the outdated Game Center with a new gaming app. It’ll feature Apple Arcade, leaderboards, friend challenges, and integration with iMessage and FaceTime for remote play. This could make gaming on your iPhone or Mac more fun than ever.
AirPods and More
Your AirPods are getting cooler, too! Expect live translation for real-time chats, new head gestures for controls, auto-pause when you doze off, and a studio-quality mic mode. macOS, possibly named macOS Tahoe, and Apple TV will also get the new design and gaming app, while Vision Pro might support new spatial controllers.
No New Hardware?
Don’t hold your breath for new devices. Reports suggest no Mac Pro or other hardware is ready, though a smart home tablet might be teased after a planned March launch.
Tune in to Apple’s keynote on their event page, YouTube, or TechCrunch’s embed for all the action. WWDC 2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster!
