Apple's WWDC 2025: Liquid Glass Redesign & Mixed AI Updates

Apple Keynote

Apple's WWDC 2025 opened with a major visual overhaul of its operating systems, introducing a design called Liquid Glass. Inspired by visionOS, this new interface offers a translucent look that adapts to light, dark, and movement, marking the most significant change since iOS 7.

Apple also announced a shift in naming conventions for its software updates, aligning them with the year after their release (e.g., iOS 26 instead of iOS 19).

However, Apple’s advancements in AI were met with mixed reactions. Although the company confirmed its AI improvements for Siri are still in progress, there were some promising updates: live translations for text and phone calls in real-time, and a new framework called Foundational Models for third-party developers, which allows offline AI integration.

Despite these advancements, Apple's stock dropped after the keynote, reflecting some shareholder disappointment, though it rebounded slightly by the end of the day.
