Here are Apple’s top AI announcements from WWDC 2025

Last year Apple’s WWDC -Keynote emphasized the ambitious steps of the company in AI. This year, the company has emphasized Apple Intelligence and concentrated on updates to its operating systems, services and software, introducing a new aesthetics that calls the “liquid glass”, together with a new Naming Convention.

Nevertheless, Apple still tried to appease the crowd with a few AI-related announcements, such as a tool for image analysis, a training coach, a live translation function and more.

Visual Intelligence

Visual intelligence is Apple’s AI-driven image analysis technology with which you can collect information about your environment. For example, it can identify a plant in a garden, tell you about a restaurant or recognize a jacket that someone wears.

Now the function will be able to communicate with the information on the screen of your iPhone. For example, if you come across a message on an app for social media, Visual Intelligence can look for an image with regard to what you see while browsing. The tool carries out the search with Google Search, Chatgpt and similar apps.

To access visual intelligence, open the control center or adjust the action button (the same button that is usually used to make a screenshot). The function will be available with iOS 26 when it will be launched later this year. Read more.

Chatgpt comes to Beeldspeeltuin

Apple Integrated Chatgpt in Image Playground, the AI-driven tool for generating images. With Chatgpt, the app can now generate images in new styles, such as ‘anime’, ‘oil painting’ and ‘watercolor’. There is also an option to send a prompt to Chatgpt to have these extra images made. Read more.

Training buddy

The newest AI-driven training coach from Apple is exactly how it sounds uses a text-to-speech model to provide encouragement during exercise, which imitates the voice of a personal trainer. When you start with a run, the AI ​​within the Workout app offers you a motivating reading, where important moments are emphasized, such as when you walked your fastest miles and your average heart rate. After you have completed the training, the AI ​​summarizes your average pace, heart rate and whether you have reached milestones. Read more.

Live translation

Apple Intelligence feeds a new live translation function for messages, facetime and phone calls. This technology automatically translates text or spoken words into the user’s preferred language in real time. During Facetime calls, users will see live captions, while Apple translates the conversation aloud for telephone calls. Read more.

AI helps with unknown callers

Apple has introduced two new AI-driven functions for phone calls. The first is referred to as call screening, which automatically answers calls from unknown numbers in the background. This allows users to hear the name of the caller and the reason for the call before they decide if they should answer.

The second function, Hold Assist, automatically detects music when waiting for a call center agent. Users can choose to stay connected while they are on hold, so that they can use their iPhone for other tasks. They will warn reports when a live agent will become available. Read more.

Poll -Suggestions in Messages

Apple also introduced a new feature that users can make polls in the Message app. This function uses Apple Intelligence to propose polls based on the context of your conversations. For example, if people in a group chat have difficulty deciding where to eat, Apple Intelligence will recommend to start a poll to help with a decision. Read more.

AI-driven shortcuts

The shortcuts app becomes more useful with Apple Intelligence. The company explained that when building a shortcut, users can select an AI model to make functions such as AI -summary possible. Read more.

Contextual conscious spotlight

A small update is introduced in Spotlight, the search function on the device for Mac. It will now record Apple Intelligence to improve its contextual consciousness, to give suggestions for actions that users usually perform and tailored to their current tasks. Read more.

Foundation models for developers

Apple now allows developers to access its AI models, even when they are offline. The company introduced the Foundation Models Framework, with which developers can build more AI options in their external apps that use the existing Apple systems. This is probably intended to encourage more developers to make new AI functions, because Apple competes with other AI companies. Read more.

Apple’s AI-driven Siri against

The most disappointing news to come from the event was that the long -awaited developments for Siri are not yet ready. Participants were enthusiastic about a glimpse of the promised AI-driven functions that would be expected to make his debut. However, Craig Federerghi, Apple’s SVP or Software Engineering, said that they will not have to share until next year. This delay can raise questions about Apple’s strategy for the voting assistant in an increasingly competitive market. Read more.
