Top Five Announcements to Look Forward to at WWDC 2025

[Pitogyro]

And "one more thing”
Polishing cloth 2.0 with USB-C to comply with EU $99. With wireless charging $129.
Announces recycling program for previous cloth for 99c (you pay, not them) for Mother Nature.

And that's another boundary-pushing WWDC done.

can we get ability to freeze apps, multiple users, and private space? Thank you

 

[cocky jeremy]

Mac Pro?

WWDC is pretty much always software only.

 

[mrr]

I’m looking forward to better battery management as my iPhone 16 Pro Max has the worst battery life of any iPhone in recent memory.

 

[upthetoffees]

I read this article and then thought ‘pretty cool, some things to look forward to hearing about in the summer!’

June second week is in under a month! What..the.. where did this year go??

 

[Geekett]

Is MacRumors memory a black hole ?

You forgot iPad OS 🙊😱 yes, iPad OS

 

[omenatarhuri]

You forgot these two:

6. Updated Pro XDR Display.
7. Updated Studio Display.

You can have my number afterwards if you want it Gurman.

Gave up on the wait just a month or two ago and went got a new monitor from another manufacturer... Waited for those for like close to two years lol.

Polishing cloth 2.0 with USB-C to comply with EU $99

Personally I will wait for version 2.1 so Apple can fix the bugs.

 

[Jumpthesnark]

Meh, iOS 19 is OLD NEWS! Everybody is ... ...... ..... Apple thinks you're gonna love it!

I hope this account is a bot. Their comments are always the same, and I would hope a human would want to bring some creativity or effort beyond copypasting.

I miss jaguar, no nasally fitted fire this year?

 

[davide_eu]

1. macOS 16's name. [...]

It's incredible the name is listed as something "to look forward".

 

[crjackson2134]

5. Live translation

I’ve been waiting for a universal translator since it was introduced in 1966 by Starfleet.

 

[Corefile]

Rumors are that an iPhone plugged into a monitor will be just like a Mac.

 

[Highway61]

We need another $2,000.00 stand (w/ optional 10 degree rotate for 2500.00).

 

[Robert.Walter]

My traditional wish every year is Apple would harmonize its naming of software and hardware to model years.

Current products could have been named :

iOS 24,
macOS 24 Sequoia,
watchOS 24,
visionOS 24,
etc.

running on:

iPhone 24,
Mac’s 24,
Apple Watch 24,
(Who cares if pro skips a year and goes from 23 to 25).
Vision Pro 24.

This would make the documentation so much more relatable and simpler.

 

[ZipZilla]

Tim will announce Apple has finally caught up to Google Now in 2012 with Siri

 

[BGPL]

Fingers crossed for MacOS Fresno or maybe Bakersfield. This would be the ultimate celebration in diversity and inclusion imho.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

After over 20 years of pretty hardcore Apple fandom I find myself in the odd headspace of not really caring about what comes next.

I don't really think it's Apple, it's ME.

I'm so happy and content with my M1 iPad Pro, M2 MBA, iPhone 12 Pro, AirPods Pro 1, and Apple Watch 7 that I have NOTHING to look forward to nor fear of missing out.

My devices have become tools; they are toys no longer.

WWDC is pretty much always software only.

This is not true. In the last 10 years the following hardware was introduced at WWDC:

2023 Apple Vision Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Studio, Mac Pro
2022 M2 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro
(2020 ARM transition introduction)
2019 Pro Display XDR
2017 iMac, iMac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro

 

[frownface]

Anyone else not give a crap until they announce that they're taking a year to retool and fix all of the bugs across their operating systems? We are in desperate need of a Snow Leopard year.

Honestly, yes.
It'd be a good thing for consumers since existing hardware is already more than capable of running the next OS. Skipping a year to consolidate would be great.

But they'll never do it because the stock would crater. They need to be seen making progress for the sake of progress. Consolodation doesn't fit that scheme.

 

[Frantisekj]

I'm looking forward to:

• How they address the dumpster fire that is the Apple intelligence missed promises from last year.
• The court case and appeal.

Or will we just get Tim Cook doing his normal presentation coach derived top and tail speeches with a script written by a marketing droid (and not Siri thankfully) full of platitudes and saying nothing much at all?

Here's a clue - it's going to be the sentence above.

They will just say it took longer to bring it up to level Apple expects for its users ...

I wold widen that request to fix bugs in previous systems up to iOS 15 becaus e devices who can not upgrade are left with bugs forever.

Snow Leopard - what an OS! Mojave felt like the closest modern version of SL to me. I love my Mac, I don't care about new features all that much right now, but some optimizations and refinement are always welcome.

 

[HaHaRich!]

Base on Boeing’s success with the F-47, I expect the next OS title will be either Bedminster or Mar-A-Lago

Maybe but there’s a class action suit going on so I wonder if the lawyers will tell them not to even mention it. Which would be weird.
