Overview
- Apple used its June 8 WWDC keynote to unveil a rebuilt, chat-style Siri as a standalone app that will appear across next-generation operating systems and to name macOS 27 “Golden Gate.”
- The company abandoned its traditional platform-by-platform keynote in favor of three themes — Platform improvements, Trust & Safety, and Apple Intelligence — to emphasize cross-device feature parity.
- Apple devoted an extended keynote segment to new parental controls that include mandatory child accounts for users under 13, granular app access permissions, and an Ask to Browse feature that forces children to request parental approval before visiting new sites.
- Siri demonstrations appeared to run in real time on stage and Apple offered post-keynote, in-person hands-on sessions for media while preparatory infrastructure such as a genai.apple.com subdomain was added ahead of the event.
- No new hardware was announced and Apple signaled a phased rollout: developer betas are available first with public betas expected this summer and broader feature availability timed toward the autumn iPhone release.
