If you have missed the WWDC 2025 Keenot overnight, you missed a lot. Apple used its annual developer conference to unveil a new set of sweeping redesign and software upgrade on all its platforms. Headline to the event was the launch of the “liquid glass” design system, the most important visual update of Apple since iOS 7. With new designs, Apple now brings a consistent, more translucent form for iOS, iPados, Macos, Watchos, TVOS and Visionos.

You must have missed: All operating systems are now synchronized with the same version number 26. So now we have iOS 26, iPados 26, Watches 26, and even Macos 26 (dubbed Macos Tahoe, clinging to their tradition of names). The public beta version of the new update will be available next month, and the possibility of stable release will be with the launch of the iPhone 17 series in September. The developer beta version of these updates is already available.

But this is not. Last night’s incident was filled with large and small updates. Let us take a quick look at everything announced in WWDC 2025.
