Apple's WWDC 2026 kicks off today with the company's annual software showcase. The keynote begins at 1:00 p.m. ET and will unveil major updates across iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, plus iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Viewers can stream the event through Apple's YouTube channel, the Apple TV app, or the Events website.

The most significant announcement appears to be Siri's complete transformation. Apple is giving the voice assistant its own dedicated app featuring a chatbot-style interface and LLM-powered intelligence. These upgrades reportedly leverage Apple's partnership with Google and Gemini-inspired improvements to Apple Foundation Models, representing a fundamental shift in the assistant's capabilities.

Beyond Siri, Liquid Glass design refinements will spread across platforms, though major visual overhauls aren't planned. Apple seems to be prioritizing bug fixes and performance improvements over numerous new features, reportedly investing extra time to enhance battery life and overall system stability.

This year's approach suggests Apple is addressing recent software criticism by focusing on reliability alongside AI advancement. The keynote streams live at 1:00 p.m. ET, offering developers and users their first look at what's coming this fall.
