Apple WWDC Live Blog: All the Updates, as They Happen

The difference between Apple's “AI” event (if you would call today's WWDC keynote that) and other AI events or major releases right now is that Apple is taking a top-down approach: Here are the operating systems we own, here are the apps we make or support, here's how they're changing because AI is changing them. Others say: Here are our latest foundational or verticalized AI models, they are going to change the world or a specific industry but some of the use cases aren't totally clear yet.

I have no idea what I'm watching right now. Is everyone else seeing this?

As usual, the developer betas of everything announced are available today, and the public betas arrives in July.

WIRED senior writer Will Knight notes that the market doesn't seem to love Apple's announcements so far…

I have to say, iPadOS 26 is the standout winner across all the updates announced today. Apple actually delivered something everyone has been asking for.

The new Mac-style menu bar in iPadOS.

The filing system on iPad has historically been really poor, so Apple taking the time to address this is very welcome.

Love these new updates to iPad. Hopefully next year's software update includes features for 12-finger typing, to account for all of our additional AI fingers

A MENU BAR on the iPad??

The iPad is now a Mac.

Windowed apps can be tiled any way you want.

You can tile apps, arrange apps, and resize them. Now spending $1,000 on an iPad Pro finally makes more sense.

Some day, and by some day I mean right now, we'll look back and realize just how much tech companies tried to engineer what they believed we should experience while diverting our attention from the real-life, human, tangible stuff that was good already.

Pardon my French but holy crap. The iPad has windowed apps now.
