Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is typically a highly-polished showcase of the company’s software updates and new features, and Apple is expected to follow the well-trodden formula this year. While past events have sometimes included hardware announcements, like the Vision Pro and Apple Silicon , WWDC 2025 might be a software-only show this time. (Looking for that new iPhone ? You won’t see one on Monday; Apple’s iPhone launch events are typically held in September.)
The biggest announcements at WWDC 2025 are potentially a new naming convention and refreshed look for iOS, according to preshow reporting from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman . Other highlights may include a new app for gamers and the company opening up its foundational AI models to third-party developers .
