One rumor suggests it's gathering a Grammarly-adjacent AI grammar checker for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, which could travel successful useful portion drafting successful the Notes app, sending a substance successful Messages, oregon penning an email successful the Mail app.
But 1 diagnostic I anticipation Apple abandons is its useless AI-generated substance responses. I don't caput Gemini-suggested email responses successful Gmail, for example, wherever nonrecreational conversations often travel akin effect patterns and goals. People text, connected the different hand, to interact with friends, coworkers, household radical chats, and much -- and I don't deliberation I'm unsocial successful admitting I don't substance my aunt the aforesaid mode I bash my champion friends.

Most of the wearables I've tested see a sleep, activity, and readiness people -- some adjacent cipher regular stress.

We've heard rumors for years present that the institution is moving connected a brace of astute glasses, competing against the likes of Meta, Spectacles, and now, Google and Samsung. The Cupertino elephantine volition yet find itself competing likewise erstwhile it releases a foldable iPhone. But there's 1 vantage that Apple has, and I anticipation it leans heavy into it starring up to September: developers.
While competitors person acceptable the signifier for foldables and astute glasses, they're inactive mostly lacking a prime app ecosystem. Apple, connected the different hand, tin leverage WWDC arsenic the accidental to get developers excited, excited capable to physique intuitive, thoughtful, and convincing bundle astir these newer signifier factors. You've got the model already with iOS, iPadOS, and VisionOS.

Apple has been breadcrumbing america with a expected AI-first Siri revamp for astatine slightest 2 years now, but it's yet expected to onshore connected Monday, backed by a partnership with Google -- specifically its Gemini assistant.
The lone crushed to judge this present much than successful erstwhile years is that Gurman's latest report on the substance included Bloomberg-rendered mockups of what the caller Siri could look like, based connected accusation Gurman obtained.

A revamped Siri would relation much similar a afloat AI agent, capable to measure what's connected your surface and usage it arsenic discourse for your queries. With autonomous capabilities, it would edit images oregon stock files for you, akin to the agents we've go utilized to implicit the past 6 months oregon so, including the ever-controversial OpenClaw.
It volition allegedly person its ain app, akin to however you'd entree different chatbot similar ChatGPT oregon Claude connected your phone.

WWDC volition springiness america a look astatine the caller operating systems coming successful the fall, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, MacOS 27, TVOS 27, WatchOS 27, and VisionOS 27.
We expect these to travel with immoderate caller AI features arsenic well, based connected Gurman's reporting: akin to the caller Siri, earthy connection updates volition fto you archer Apple Intelligence to intuitively tally tasks for you, similar creating shortcuts.

On the VisionOS front, portion the institution volition apt hold different twelvemonth to merchandise caller hardware, the Vision Pro volition get immoderate caller accessibility features announced successful May, specified arsenic controlling wheelchairs with oculus movement.
Current rumors, again from Gurman, besides expect caller AI photograph editing tools, called Extend, Enhance, and Reframe. The archetypal volition mimic generative fill-style features that different AI applications offer, portion Enhance could relation likewise to a Google Photos AI tool that adjusts elements similar colour and lighting.

Apple whitethorn release a high-end enactment of "Ultra" devices (Gurman's terminology) this year, balancing retired the company's caller fund Neo laptop. The Ultra sanction calls backmost to Apple's existing Apple Watch Ultra and M-series Ultra chips, arsenic good arsenic CarPlay Ultra.
A foldable telephone could beryllium the adjacent summation to that tier, mimicking a smaller iPhone erstwhile closed but looking much similar an iPad erstwhile unfolded.
However, this and different devices successful this imaginable lineup, including a touchscreen MacBook, whitethorn not travel until Apple's September event, which is much hardware-focused.
