WWDC 2026: Live blog
Google and Nvidia will play a major role in the new Siri
When Apple announces the new Siri next week, you’ll hear a lot about what it can do, how smart it is, how much more capable it is, and how cool the new interface looks. What you might not hear much about is that at least part of it will run on Google servers, which are powered by Nvidia chips. The burning question is: How will Apple play up the privacy angle, and how does Private Cloud Compute fit into all this?
iOS 27 already has a game-changing feature
In late May, Apple announced a couple of iOS 27 features early as part of a spotlight on Accessibility. Among them is a huge upgrade to Voice Control, which will use natural language to control all sorts of things on your phone. That’s cool on its own, but it also speaks to a much more capable and contextual Siri that could change everything about how we use and interact with our iPhones.
Save $100 on the Apple Watch Series 11
Along with iOS 27, we’ll also get a look at watchOS 27 during Monday’s keynote. If you want to make sure you can get all the latest features, pick up an Apple Watch Series 11 for just $299, a savings of $100 and matching the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
Fix the iPhone camera please!
I’m a pretty casual iPhone photo taker, but Filipe Esposito made me realize just how underpowered the iPhone camera is. I don’t hate using it like he does, but I also don’t seek out many features because they’re just too hard to find. Filipe is hopeful that iOS 27 will fix things.
Macworld’s WWDC Preview podcast: iOS 27 and more!
Roman, Jason, and myself spend an hour talking about what we expect next week from iOS 27, Siri, and Apple Intelligence—plus a few predictions on how Apple will start the show. Join us and send us a comment at [email protected] with your thoughts.
You might hate iOS 27
If there’s one thing we’re sure of next week, it’s that iOS 27 will feature a lot of AI. As AI skeptic Jason Cross explains, there’s a bit of a backlash against AI right now. There are hallucinations, confidently wrong answers, inappropriate images, bias—the list goes on. What kind of AI will iOS 27 bring? And more importantly, will iPhone users embrace the new Siri or turn against it?
Will Apple bring any new Macs to the show?
While WWDC is primarily a software show, we’ve gotten our share of Apple hardware announcements at the event, including Vision Pro, HomePod, and the 15-inch MacBook Air. However, much like last year, this year’s show looks to be entirely focused on software. That’s a bummer, but Filipe Esposito explains why there’s still plenty of time for new hardware this year.
