Everything Apple could announce at its big developer event tomorrow

New York, June 8 (EFE).- The tech giant Apple will hold its annual software event, WWDC, tomorrow, Monday, at its Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California, a conference for developers in which the company's CEO, Tim Cook, is expected to announce changes in the names and designs of the brand's operating systems.

It will be discussed "innovative updates coming to Apple platforms," according to a press release from the company, and it is expected that at the conference the company will detail its plans for iOS 19 and other software updates for iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.

The logo chosen for this year's event seems to give some clues, as the transparent apple appears along with the slogan "elegant look", which could suggest that the new design's appearance will be crystal clear and shiny, something that is also rumored in the media.

According to Bloomberg, iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 will incorporate new icons and menus, which will also change the way devices are controlled and navigated.

A change of numbering system 

According to the specialized press, Apple could announce a change in its numbering system tomorrow: it would no longer be iOS 19, but this version will be called iOS 26, due to the year and not the version number, similar to how car models are identified.

With this system, Apple seems to be ready to launch iOS 26, iPadOS 26, tvOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26.

Bloomberg also reported that the company has decided to use the name Tahoe - in reference to a large lake located in the Sierra Nevada, on the border between California and Nevada - as the identity of its operating system for Mac.

The company designs Mac operating systems themed around important places in California. The current operating system is named after the Sequoia National Forest.

All eyes on AI 

Last year's edition was dominated by the announcement of Apple Intelligence features, Apple's AI that has left much to be desired, as well as Siri updates that have yet to materialize.

Bloomberg anticipated that Apple is preparing a launch of artificial intelligence features this year, with the intention that WWDC 2026 will have a greater impact.

However, it is rumored that Apple will introduce new AI features, ranging from battery-saving technologies to a personal trainer.

Apple needs to gain momentum in the AI race, as other tech giants, such as Google with its Gemini AI or other Android providers, have made significant strides forward with their AI offerings in smartphones.

A game app

Bloomberg also pointed out that Apple seems to be ready to add a centralized gaming app in the next iOS update that will allow users to launch games, find new titles, view rankings, and communicate with other players.

The new app will replace Game Center and is more ambitious, according to the newspaper.

Apple launched Game Center in 2010, but it has since been relegated to an administrative service that is part of the Settings app.

Regarding hardware, the media indicates that the next generation of AirTags and a possible iPhone 17 Air could be announced at the event.
