Apple held its annual Worldwide Developer Conference today. WWDC<\/a> is the event in which the company uses its keynote address to announce lots of changes coming to its software<\/a> platforms on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac.<\/p>\n

Apple<\/a> has been chasing the artificial intelligence boom for the past few years, though many of its promised AI features across its platforms have been delayed or have not quite panned out<\/a> into a full-fledged suite. To rectify that, Apple entered into a partnership<\/a> with Google to use its Gemini AI as a backbone to power Apple Intelligence. After years of wondering how that partnership might manifest<\/a>, Apple revealed that vision today.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s software chief Craig Federighi said that Apple\u2019s keynote presentation would focus on three main things: platform improvements, updates in trust and safety, and a \u201cbig leap forward\u201d in Apple Intelligence and Siri. The big focus was on changes to Apple\u2019s Siri virtual assistant that make it feel more like a modern AI chatbot. The rest of the AI features have been implemented broadly across Apple\u2019s ecosystem, in iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, WatchOS, and VisionOS.<\/p>\n

This was also the final WWDC for outgoing CEO Tim Cook, who signed off on a personal note, saying, \u201cI still believe the best is yet ahead.\u201d Apple announced in April that Cook will become executive chairman starting September 1, with John Ternus, senior vice president of hardware engineering, stepping in as CEO.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything Apple announced today at WWDC 2026.<\/p>\n

When the slate of new software updates arrive in the fall, Apple\u2019s AI models will be integrated with Google\u2019s Gemini to enhance the conversational ability and contextual awareness of its apps. That means all of Apple\u2019s apps that use AI\u2014which goes beyond the Siri voice assistant to include Mail, Messages, Safari, and Photos, among others\u2014will have a better understanding of what you\u2019re trying to do and will be better at delivering results that feel meaningful.<\/p>\n

These AI-powered features will be accessible in some way on all of Apple\u2019s devices. The AI features will also be able to peer into what\u2019s stored on your devices, what\u2019s on the screen, and what the camera is seeing to answer questions, generate text and images, and perform the basic tasks you ask it to do.<\/p>\n

Apple, which has long emphasized its privacy bonafides<\/a>, says much of this computational labor happens on the actual device (so it will likely be limited to only the highest-performing recent hardware) and when it has to send a request to the cloud, it does so securely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple held its annual Worldwide Developer Conference today.
