WWDC 2025: Here's what we can expect at Apple's annual developers' conference

Like the previous years, Apple is expected to offer a sneak peek at all-new iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS for its products.

Apple plans to align the software versions with the year. So, this year the software versions-- iOS 18, iPadOS 19, watchOS 12, macOS 14 (Sonama) will directly succeed to iOS26, iPad)S 126, watchOS 26 and macOS 26, respectively.

It is same for Apple TVs and Vision Pro too. The devices which are currently running tvOS 18 and visionOS 2, will jump to tvOS 26 and visionOS 26, respectively.

Though the year is 2025, the software name will have 26 as prefix, as the software usually gets officially released late in the year around September and only get upgraded next year. In the intervening months, Apple rolls out multiple updates.

It can be noted that Samsung too made this transition for its product names in 2021. Its products name reflect the year of the launch.

Reports have indicated that there will be big changes in the upcoming software in terms of visual user interface. Called, 'Solarium' UI, Apple plans to offer unified user interface accross iPhone, iPad, Mac computer and other products.

This way, it will be more easy for customers to use all categories of Apple device efficiently and with less hassle.

The company might also bring Apple Intelligence to Watches, which is one of Apple's primary products, which don't have such features yet.

And, Apple is expected to bring new value-added features to Messages app such as chat background wallpaper similar to WhatsApp.

Also, the new software will improve the battery life of the products.

We can expect more such announcements at the WWDC 2025.

Besides the new software, Apple is expected to launch new tools for app developers to improve their applications to deliver better user experience on Apple products.

As noted above, the Keynote speech will start 10:30 pm IST and will be available to watch on apple.com, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel.
