WWDC 2026 Major Announcement: Apple, which is lagging behind in the AI race, was expected to make several major announcements at WWDC, and the company did not disappoint this time. Apple announced several AI features at WWDC 2026, which will soon begin arriving on Apple devices. Before moving on to these features, let us tell you that this year's WWDC was also special because it was Tim Cook 's last event at Apple as CEO. John Turner will take over his position at Apple from September 1. Let us now take a look at the major announcements made at this event.
Siri AI
Siri AI has been long-awaited, and now the company has finally announced it. The new Siri is based on Google's Gemini model. The company has also released a dedicated app for it, which can work with various apps. Apple has described the new Siri as more conversational and understanding of personal context. Visual intelligence has also been improved with Siri AI. Now it will be able to understand what is happening on your device's screen and then provide information accordingly.
Improved Apple Intelligence
Along with Siri, Apple Intelligence is also being improved. Apple Intelligence can now manage Safari tabs and change leaked passwords with a single tap. It can also create calendar events from conversations, monitor price changes on web pages, and retrieve information from apps like Mail and Messages, even during phone calls. New features have also been added to the Home app.
New features for photos
Apple has announced an upgrade to the Image Playground app. With the help of Apple Intelligence, it will now be able to generate better images when prompted. This app can be used to generate lock screens, iMessage backgrounds, contact posters, and more. If you don't want to generate images in this app, the company has also announced new features for the Photos app. New tools like Reframe and Expand have been added, and the Clean Up tool has also been upgraded.
iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate
As expected, Apple also confirmed the iOS 27 update at the WWDC keynote . The company stated that this update will make apps open 30 percent faster, and newly captured photos will appear in the Photos app 70 percent faster. Similarly, AirDrop transfers will also be faster. The new update will also give users more control over Liquid Glass. Like the iPhone, Apple is also bringing the new macOS Golden Gate update to its Mac system. It will include new toolbars, edge-to-edge sidebars, color-coded sidebar icons, a new look for app icons, and rounded window corners. Siri AI will also be integrated into Spotlight on the Mac, allowing users to ask questions and analyze files.
