Explore Mary Meeker's influential Internet Trends reports, detailing key shifts in technology, internet usage, e-commerce, AI, and global market dynamics.
Apple unveiled "Apple Intelligence" at WWDC 2025, a suite of advanced AI features deeply integrated across its ecosystem, including iPhone and other devices. This marks a significant leap in Apple's AI capabilities, promising a more intuitive and personalized user experience.
At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, Apple officially introduced "Apple Intelligence," its comprehensive artificial intelligence initiative. This new framework aims to embed AI capabilities directly into the core of iOS 26 and other Apple platforms, enhancing user interaction and device functionality.
Key features highlighted include:
While Apple Intelligence brings significant advancements, the much-anticipated upgraded Siri, previewed at WWDC 2024, is now slated for a spring 2026 release with iOS 26.4. This delay was acknowledged by Apple, stating the work "needed more time" to meet their standards. The initial Apple Intelligence features for Siri, however, did launch with a new design.
WWDC 2025 also showcased iOS 26's new "Liquid Glass" design language, a significant visual overhaul. While inspired by the Vision Pro, Apple did not explicitly detail its long-term implications for developers beyond aesthetic changes.
Despite the AI advancements, WWDC 2025 also highlighted ongoing tensions within Apple's developer community. The keynote, which included a humorous song praising App Store reviews, largely sidestepped contentious issues such as App Store commissions and recent legal battles.
Developers expressed concerns over:
While Apple did announce some developer-focused improvements, such as easier integration of AI features into the Shortcuts app and the Foundation Models framework, some felt the event prioritized consumer-facing features and Apple's own financial interests over a deeper commitment to its developer ecosystem.
