Apple Highlights Key WWDC 2025 Announcements in Two-Minute Video

[MacRumors]

Apple has shared a two-minute video that highlights some of its keys announcements from the WWDC 2025 keynote earlier today.

There is a new Liquid Glass design across Apple's latest software updates, including iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, CarPlay, and beyond.

Apple shared a separate video all about Liquid Glass:

In the Messages app, there are now polls and custom backgrounds within conversations, and Apple Cash support within group chats.

Apple has tweaked the layout of the Photos app, which now has Library and Collections tabs.

In the Phone, Messages, and FaceTime apps, Apple Intelligence powers a new Live Translate feature that can automatically translate your texts and phone calls on the fly.

Apple Watch is getting a new Workout Buddy feature.

With iPadOS 26, iPads are becoming more like a Mac with a top menu bar, an enhanced app windowing experience, and more.

There's a whole lot more that Apple announced, so be sure to watch Apple's video and refresh our feed for more coverage to come.

The iPad update was the worst. Just. Buy. A. Mac. Stop trying to make iPad into a product that already exists (that's way better at key tasks than the iPad and will always be)

So stupid.

Yeah. Why take advantage of all the power of apple silicon? 🙄

What’s up with the voice/tone of this video? Seems very childish.

 

[ab2c4]

Hopefully this liquid glass transparency can be disabled for those of us with eye problems.

 

[svish]

Watched the full event. Liked it. Cannot wait to try all the new features. Like the new design of the software.

Like it's aimed at 13 year olds? Probably.

I have a hard enough time with seeing small icons as an "old" and the last thing I need is monochrome ones that are transparent.

I don't mind "transparency" but it adds zero value to me.

Hopefully this liquid glass transparency can be disabled for those of us with eye problems.

This was my immediate thought—hopefully Accessibility at least will have options to avoid the transparency stuff (though I will grant you, some apps have awful location awareness and still put half a menu off screen—which won't be fixed by the transparency feature, but at least some of a screen might still be visible for keyboard input)

 

[germanbeer007]

All that....8GB of ram...

Wow, so much power...🙄

 

[jz0309]

well, that 2 minute summary - sums it up

 

[ghanwani]

Looks like this will cause even more eye strain and headaches with its unasked for dynamism.

The presenter’s delivery is so unengaging.

 

[JosephAW]

It looks like the only way Apple will read any of our comments is in the App Store comment section, all other suggestions and submissions are ignored. And then they make a song about it, but only those that are positive, they should’ve also done a negative song, somebody quick cough went up using AI.

 

[ElvenPrince995]

That glass icon revamp looks hideous. I imagine it will be harder for older people to see the icons and what to actually press. Horrible.

 

[verniesgarden]

really curious to see how much of liquid glass gets rolled back or evolve as people realize it's an accessibility nightmare

also I don't see devs implementing this language

I can't believe I had to wait until 2025 to easily reimburse my friends when they buy dinner.

Better late, than never.

Thank you, Apple!

Two minutes was all I needed for the announcements that affect me. the rest was what, interface tweaks? Truly, I worked for Apple 12 years, and listened to WWDCs at least 10 years before that. And as they get slicker and more polished, they've become less and less meaningful as regards "How is Apple going to make money with this announcement?" Is the AI part what's going to drive hardware sales? Doubtful. Give me something "insanely great" that I really need or want.

 

[Belisama]

I'm not sure "Key WWDC 2025 Announcements" deserve 2 minutes 😟

 

[T5BRICK]

The YouTube “play” logo placement really changes what I’m seeing here.

 

[swm]

<- this is about the 2 mins summary video. I suppose I'm not the target audience. how do you do, fellow kids?

liquid glass looks super cool though, but good luck to the older devices rendering everything as it happens. even now scrolling photos on an iPhone 12pro feels sometime sluggish. I just hope you can "dumb it down" in settings to say regular blur or maybe superimposed white/black, or idk that requires less horsepower.

but let's see the real sessions about under the hood changes.

Beta 2 Prediction:
Accessibility toggle to reduce magnification effect

 

[JosephAW]

In the end the best part of the whole keynote was Craig Federighi’s antics.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Don't need two minutes

This will do

So stupid.

I don’t feel the iPad update is stupid, it just expands functionality, which is never not welcome. These are updates that some have wanted for years and brings its experience closer to macOS. Sure, maybe a touch screen MacBook would make more sense, but there’s an audience here. You’re not it, and neither am I, which is understandable and fine for Apple. People over in that iPadOS thread are saying this is actually the best announcement of all with next to no negative sentiment, and happy it now will feel more like a computer rather than an iPhone on steroids. There’s always negativity somewhere…

All that....8GB of ram...

Wow, so much power...🙄

8 GB is more efficient with lower latency on Apple Silicon than x86 or even compared to A-series chips, but I assume tim_apple is mostly referring to processing power rather than RAM. Apple’s chips are built to thrive within a small memory footprint, as are applications and the OS. The NVMe SSD also allows for fast and smooth swapping of less prioritized RAM-utilizing processes to the SSD. Final Cut and Logic wouldn’t have been ported to iPadOS if 8 GB wasn’t adequate.

With this being said, I do prefer macOS and need much more RAM for the work I do.

I have to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly agree with you on something!!!

BRAVO!
Agree 100%

👏

The fact a two minute video sums up these updates says more than I ever could. I think I'll avoid macOS ice cube for a while along with iOS Perspex
