WWDC 2026: Siri AI debuts with Apple Intelligence as Tim Cook bows out
At WWDC 2026, Apple unveiled iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate, introduced Siri AI—rebranded as Apple Intelligence—with new voice controls, Visual Intelligence, and smarter app behaviors; a public beta is planned later this year, but EU launch is blocked by the DMA. Tim Cook delivered a farewell at his final keynote with no torch-passing moment. iPhone compatibility for iOS 27 runs from iPhone 11 to iPhone 17, with AI features limited to newer models; Apple also announced family-safety tools and deeper integration across core apps, CarPlay, and devices.
