Apple, which has long been known for its "culture of secrecy," has surprisingly "leaked" information before the event. In the latest official news release for WWDC26, Apple unusually directly mentioned "New Advances in AI (Artificial Intelligence)". This unconventional move marks Apple's full-speed charge into the center of the AI battlefield.

The main highlight of this conference will be a fully upgraded Siri. Industry experts generally expect Apple to demonstrate how Siri will be deeply integrated into the core logic of iOS27. Unlike previous simple command responses, the new generation of Siri is expected to have stronger context understanding and cross-app operation permissions, truly becoming the user's on-device personal agent (Agent).

Another hot topic in the tech world is Apple's deep collaboration with Google. It is expected that Apple will officially reveal the specific plan for integrating the Gemini large model into the Apple ecosystem at WWDC26. This not only helps make up for Apple's shortcomings in the scale of cloud-based large models but will also provide users with a more powerful generative AI experience.

2026 Software Suite: AI Permeates Everything

Aside from the core iOS27, software updates across Apple's major platforms will all focus on AI:

  • iOS / iPadOS27: Are expected to bring smarter photo editing, real-time translation, and system-level text summarization features.

  • Development Tool Upgrades: Provide developers with a more powerful AI framework, encouraging integration of on-device machine learning capabilities in third-party apps.
