Unfortunately, new reports this week suggest that those hoping for Apple to catch up in the AI race and showcase all of Apple Intelligence’s new bells and whistles in the newly renamed iOS 26 will ultimately be disappointed.

Apple 's big 2025 software reveal is nearly upon us. On June 9, the Worldwide Developers' Conference (WWDC) keynote will showcase the changes coming with its 2025 software. That includes — deep breath — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS.

Apple Intelligence, the star of last year's WWDC, should be back for the 2025, as Apple looks to regain some momentum for its suite of AI tools after a rocky start. New hardware could appear, too, though that's a remote possibility this time around.
