What might be revealed at WWDC 2025?
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple is preparing a modest rollout of artificial intelligence features, targeting WWDC 2026 to make a larger splash.
Gurman wrote in the Power On newsletter that the most significant AI announcement this year will be the opening of Apple’s Foundation Models to third-party developers.
He noted that the move is being made in hope of spurring the creation of new AI features and apps to help Apple catch up in the artificial intelligence market.
Gurman also reported that Apple appears set to add a centralized gaming app in the next iOS update.
He indicates the app will be preinstalled with the update and will be a place for users to launch games, find new titles, view leaderboards and communicate with other players.
“The new app will serve as a Game Center replacement, and is more ambitious,” Gurman wrote. “But it’s unlikely to shake up the industry.”
iOS naming system to change with update: Reports
Apple appears set to change the naming system for iOS on Monday, according to Gurman.
The company will move from numbering operating system updates sequentially to numbering them by year in a manner similar to the way car models are identified. Under the new system, the Monday update will be iOS 26 instead of iOS 19.
Gurman also reported that the Mac operating system will be named Tahoe after the Californian forest.
