Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC 2026, is set to begin on Monday at 10 a.m. PT, with live streams available through the Apple Developer app, website, and YouTube channel. The event is expected to highlight a significant AI upgrade for Siri, transforming it into a more conversational assistant capable of understanding context and handling multi-step tasks. The revamped Siri will also leverage Google’s Gemini technology to enhance its capabilities, according to recent reports.
Apple is also planning to introduce an AI agent integration with the app store, allowing users to delegate tasks such as booking reservations, managing everyday tasks, and controlling smart home devices. Additionally, the Camera app is set to receive a new 'Visual Intelligence' section, replacing the previous feature in the Camera Control button. This upgrade will include a dedicated Siri mode and use Google Image Search to identify objects in user photos. The Photos app is also expected to get enhancements powered by Apple Intelligence, including intelligent scene recommendations and automatic object removal.
