From the rumors, it seems like this is going to be a Snow Leopard year, so we'll all be trying to read the tea leaves in any changes in software or designs that align with hardware rumors for the fall!

Can we have a % of how likely it is for a developer to actually go in person?
I signed up as a registered developer from 2023 - 2025 and have been denied every year, yet people who have developer accounts for no reason but to install developer betas (which you dont even need anymore) went in person lol...

Will 2026 be my year???

Fingers crossed 🤞

Well... it remains to be seen if the advancements are really something. I would only call it amazing if it works on many devices, not only on the newest stuff available in the fall of 2026 or later. I want it to work on my current devices including the HomePod mini's.

Yes just as with the removal of “old” CPU architecture (PowerPC) code from Snow Leopard, so too will Intel code be supposedly stripped from this next OS.

Don't believe that for one second. All the focus on Siri and foldables will introduce many, many new issues and challenges. They might have an internal memo saying they want to prioritize performance and bug fixes, but they will keep putting out new features and introducing new bugs because new sells.

Do people not remember how buggy Snow Leopard was? It had more bugs than the latest version (10.5.8) of OS X Lion. “Bug fix release” and no new features is a myth, based off a single Keynote slide (“0 New Features”) that was meant to be a joke. Snow Leopard had many, many new features, they were just mostly under-the-hood, and not user-centric.

Fact of the matter, Siri needed to be rebuilt from the ground up, so expect many new bugs. (and this may have been the biggest reason for the delays.)
 
So Apple continues its quest, to further distance itself from its customers and developers, by staging, virtual presentations.

Any wonder why people feel Apple is losing a sense of what its customers want, and the passion for its products, that was once the staple of a bygone era.
Tim Cook appears tone deaf, to everything that isn’t rainbow coloured, or financially profitable.
Let’s be honest, the only reason we still have WWDC is that helping developers understand their coding, increases the revenue Apple ultimately generates.
 
Here’s hoping they figure out new Siri, but I’m not holding my breathe. Never turned it on for anything it was so bad. Then I got an iPhone 16 Pro with “Apple Intelligence”. Tried it for a week and turned it off. It’s absolutely useless. Impress me Apple, make me want to use it. Right now I couldn’t care less about anything delivered as AI. Uncooked, half baked slop.

Let’s be honest this year all the update will be boring, with just bug fix updates that won’t actually be fixed after 3 months beta testing. Also it will just be talking about ai and Siri blah blah blah, no exciting new features

I mean that is the new exciting feature everyone's been waiting for... what else do we even need at this point? we got the visual overhaul last year.
