“CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA — Apple today announced it will host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) online from June 8-12, bringing developers together from around the world for a week of connection, exploration, and innovation. In addition to the online experience, developers and students will also have the opportunity to celebrate in person during a special event at Apple Park on June 8.


WWDC26 will spotlight incredible updates for Apple platforms, including AI advancements and exciting new software and developer tools. As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting developers, WWDC will also provide unique access to Apple engineers and designers, and insight into new tools, frameworks, and features.”

Looking forward to seeing what the future enhancements in the softwide side of the Apple ecosystem will be.
 
Frankly I hope they pull their socks up with regards to AI. I guess they have to consumerify everything for the target audience, but I expected a little more by now.

Same. I want more AI in Apple Music as I love discovering new music. 26.4 had the feature in the US but I'd like to see it here.
 
Meanwhile I hope they pull their socks up and toss AI out back and have it shot dead. Waste of time, resources and awful for the world. I'd like to see a proper return to old-school Apple and have a focus on quality software engineering principles and not shoehorn pointless features in.
 
I’d just like the like lag and keyboard issues fixed in this release.

I’m a huge apple fan, have been for years, however this years iteration and its endless keyboard bugs and various other bugs got me looking at android albeit only briefly. :(

Next week will be the exact opposite. Will be talked about in literally everything.

I’m not as down on AI as many seem to be and enjoy using Gemini for the most part so interested to see how they’ve incorporated the model they have into Siri.

Hoping the Home gets a bit of loving this year.

RTX Spark - their 'M series Silicon" basically.

Don't want to derail the thread but need to point out that if RTX Spark relies on Windows then it's not going to be great... The big problem that all Windows PCs have is that they run Windows! There's some lovely MacBook beating hardware out there completely hamstrung by the software they have to run.

Back OT, I've not paid any attention to rumours myself but I'm hoping for an updated Siri myself, not because Siri has ever been any good (I've NEVER been able to activate Siri by saying "Siri") but because that'll mean updated HomePods and Apple TVs.
 
It'll be interesting to see what they've done with Siri with "Powered by Google Gemini" behind it all; hopefully it'll actually become useful.

I know it's usually software but is there any talk of hardware being released at WWDC 26?

Windows is a perfectly fine OS, especially within enterprise environments. What lets W11 down is the UI but hopefully that will get sorted at some point.

Hopefully (and realistically they won't have) putting in a block all usage as I have no interest in using Gemini. I hoped everything was going to be on-device or at least via that Apple Cloud model at a minimum. I hope nothing is going off to Google.

It's rumoured that it's Apple own instances of Google's (Gemini?) models but who knowns what the actual deal is because you would assume, like any other AI provider, Google would want to train off the data for continuous improvement.

Either way, there are more privacy focused OS's than iOS and Google Android if you're worried about that. But given Apple was late to the AI game and fluffed it, if this deal makes Siri actually useful and comparable to everyone else's offering then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I regularly daily drive OpenBSD - I might be a bit worried :D

But in all seriousness, I think we're all a bit concerned over Google versus Apple, not to say that Apple are a bastion of privacy in any way shape or form. I personally have zero need for Siri, I think I've used it a handful of times over the years and it's always been to test a gimmick. I appreciate however my use cases are generally not the normal.
