Apple’s 2026 WWDC was one of the most hotly anticipated events, especially with the backdrop of the previous two years of underwhelming WWDCs. In 2024, Apple introduced upgraded Siri but could not deliver. In 2025, Siri was hardly mentioned, and the event was all about Liquid Glass—Apple’s completely redesigned user interface; hence the high expectations for this event. And we believe Apple has done enough in terms of announced upgrades and features to keep it in the fight for AI relevance—but only if it can deliver what it showed at WWDC 2026.

This time, instead of announcing updates to each OS, Apple took a different route—announcing features at the platform level. This shows how AI sits above the OS and binds the entire Apple ecosystem together; therefore its importance cannot be overstated.
