Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote highlighted new software features, with a focus on Siri AI and enhanced stability. While some anticipated updates were not disclosed, they are expected to be revealed by September, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.
A redesigned watchface for the Apple Watch Ultra is in development, featuring a simplified interface that retains the large clock of the Modular Ultra but eliminates a second row of complications. This update is likely to coincide with the launch of new Apple Watch models in September.
In addition, developments for iOS 27 include plans for Siri to support external chatbots like ChatGPT and others through an Extensions API. This shift aims to simplify integrations, moving away from individual agreements with companies. Discussions have taken place with OpenAI and others regarding this new model, which may lack the same privacy assurances as previous partnerships.
As the deadline approaches, further details on these features and extensions are anticipated, particularly around their functionality and integration into existing systems.
