Apple's WWDC is approaching, with a focus on potential updates for the Mac and concerns about Apple Intelligence overshadowing other aspects.
There is anticipation for improvements in Siri and key Mac apps through Apple Intelligence, but the worry is that updates for macOS 16 and iOS 19 might be neglected as a result.
Historically, when Apple has prioritized new technologies like the Vision Pro headset, updates to macOS and iOS have been more modest.
Reports suggest that Apple Intelligence hasn't gained as much traction as desired, yet the emphasis on it could overshadow the operating system updates that users interact with daily.
WWDC has previously showcased 'magic moments' such as Universal Control and Continuity Camera, which are integral to the Apple experience but may not receive as much attention as AI advancements.
Rumors indicate that macOS 16 may feature a significant redesign inspired by visionOS, potentially revitalizing the system with a fresh look.
Questions linger about whether the redesign will truly bring substantial changes or serve as a cosmetic distraction from lacking updates, particularly due to the focus on enhancing Apple Intelligence.
Amidst concerns, hopes remain for a meaningful update at WWDC 2025 that balances AI advancements with impactful enhancements to macOS and iOS.
