Apple’s WWDC 2025 has not disappointed, but it didn’t inspire either. I wanted answers to some of my burning questions, as when Siri will shine, what is the future of Apple Home, and how will you inspire consumers to join the professional vision …
None of this was to come. Instead, we have obtained a new brilliant design language (liquid glass), a ton of minute on the updates of iOS 26 functionalities (redesign of the camera application, background on group messages, on-board on board), more intelligent Apple intelligence and a reinvention of essential iPados.
Apple spent 90 minutes telling us how the world of iphones, Macs, Apple watches, Apple televisions and iPads would change, but unlike the conference Keynotes of Google developers or even Meta, they did not tell us how they change the world. The Conference of Apple developers focused squarely on platforms and how your experience with each of them would change.
No moment stood out like an “Oh, it will change everything.”
Not the star you were waiting for
To be clear, there are big changes. Ipados 26 in particular can be unrecognizable (but in the right direction) to people who have used Apple’s tablet for more than a decade. If you asked me 48 hours ago the biggest story to get out of the keynote, I would have guessed the new name convention (years but not the one in which you are!), Liquid glass (like glass but a lot of apple-ly-er), or a surprise. Ipados 26 was not on my bingo card.
Apple has kept the cover well focused on software, which, in my opinion, could well increase for a hardware surprise at the end.
I had visions of AR AR TAQUINE GLASSES, the unveiling of a new vision of vision much more affordable.
I am instead of those who had been fanciful “another thing”, I hoped that maybe Apple software engineering would direct Craig Federighi would come back to the disdainful mention Siri at the beginning, preview the real Apple Intelligence Siri and would deliver a promise of blood blood that it would arrive at the same time as the first public beta iOS 26 iOS 26.
None of this has happened. Apple rejected its difficult year and presented an exhaustive and exhaustive collection of the platform updates. At least now we know Why Siri is delayed.
To be sure, everything that has been revealed at WWDC 2025 is a lot, and I find it hard to wrap my mind around all this. There are bits in there, for example, such as the update of MacOS Tahoe Spotlight, which will not reveal the true depth of its impact until we test the new platforms.
On this note, I know that you are tempted to download all the developer’s beta, but use caution. They are generally buggy and, in the case of the iPhone, most development beta tend to suck their lives as soon as you get out of your battery (mainly because they are not yet optimized).
It’s a certain certainty
The more important problem here, however, is that, unlike previous years, where I knew that Apple would hold its promises, I know that it is no longer a lock. I would like to believe that the incredible update of vision pro personas, the one that makes these floating heads absolutely real, will arrive in the fall, which the spotlights with a contextual conscience will work as the next new Mac show, and the prowess of the window and the background activities of the iPados 26 will be just as powerful as they watched it during the kit.
Even some of the things that I am reasonably certain will happen limited. Digital identifiers develop, but Apple is unable to make it work in the 50 American states (for the moment, nine supported), and Watchos 26 training, which is based on Apple Intelligence on the iPhone, will only take English, and if not only in the United States?
Now there are always limits to Apple’s dream scenario, and I find it intelligent to wake up long before the first public beta fell.
Apple can surprise us and overdeliver, but if we have learned something from the Keynote of WWDC 2025, it is because, for the moment, it is no longer in the field of major surprises that leave it in an undernourishment position.
