Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC 2025) commenced yesterday with a keynote presentation from the tech giant. The company introduced significant changes to its operating systems, now named by year instead of version number. The main highlight is a visual revamp of all OSes, known as Liquid Glass, to create a more cohesive experience across platforms. For example, the redesigned iPhone phone app will also be available on macOS Tahoe. Additionally, updates to Apple Intelligence were announced, including live translation of text and speech and using Image Playground to create backgrounds for group chats.

This focus on practical features and smaller tweaks is a refreshing change from last year's event, where Apple made ambitious promises regarding Siri that couldn't be fulfilled in time. The company excels when providing users with tools that enhance their daily lives, rather than engaging in AI competition with Silicon Valley counterparts.
