Overview
- Tim Cook delivered what he described as his final WWDC keynote on Monday, closed with a personal farewell and received a standing ovation from the live audience.
- Apple unveiled Siri AI, a rebuilt, conversational version of Siri with a dedicated app that can follow up on requests, act across apps, and use on‑device context to complete tasks.
- The company previewed iOS 27 and other OS updates that include an optimized CPU scheduler to improve responsiveness on devices back to the iPhone 11 and introduced new AI tools for Photos, Mail, Messages, Safari, and system features.
- Developer betas for Apple Intelligence, Siri AI and iOS 27 are available now with staged rollouts planned, and some AI features will be restricted in regions such as the EU and China while Apple works through regulatory and privacy issues.
- John Ternus remains CEO‑designate and will succeed Cook on September 1, 2026, but he did not appear onstage at WWDC, and investors gave a muted response to the announcements, sending Apple shares lower after the keynote.
