We’re exactly one week out from Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 — and we expect the event to bring major changes to the iPhone’s iOS software.
So far, we have more rumors than facts about the updates to iOS, but these rumors are all but confirmed. Last week, we learned that Apple would be leaping from iOS 18.5 to iOS 26, switching to a new year-based naming convention for iOS (and macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS), as first reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who has a rock-solid history of major Apple scoops.
What changes can we expect from iOS 26 and WWDC 2025? Apple is teasing the June 9 event with a banner and “Sleek peek” tagline but is otherwise quiet. So, let’s break down what we know so far.
