This year's WWDC was a big one . Tim Cook took the virtual stage one last time to lead the company's announcements across all of its platforms. As expected, this year we're getting iOS 27 , iPadOS 27, macOS 27, among other updates, as well as new Apple Intelligence features and the long-awaited AI Siri, called, um, " Siri AI ." There was a lot covered in Apple's 75-minute keynote, but you don't have to watch the whole thing to catch up. Instead, follow along below, where I lay out every announcement Apple made at WWDC 2026: WWDC 2026: macOS Golden Gate Credit: Apple/YouTube The first major announcement of the day was the much-anticipated (by Apple nerds) name of macOS 27.

WWDC 2026 Live Blog: Announcements About iOS 27, AI Siri, Apple Intelligence, and More

Image
We are now fewer than 24 hours away from WWDC 2026. On Monday, June 8, Apple will kick off its week-long developer conference with its famous WWDC keynote. If you've watched these events in the past, you already know a lot of what to expect: announcements regarding the next era of Apple's software, including iOS 27, macOS 27, and watchOS 27, among others. But this year is a bit different. Yes, Apple will almost assuredly announce these updates for its products. But for the first time since 2024, the focus will be almost entirely on AI , centered on Apple's big Siri upgrades—powered by AI, of course. The company originally announced the new Siri two years ago, advertising it as part of iOS 18, but delayed the assistant many times due to internal issues . Now, AI Siri is finally ready for the limelight—if the rumors are to be believed. Apple is also expected to launch a number of new AI features, as well, including AI-powered photo editing tools, AI-generated wallpapers, an...

Why It Matters What Theater You See 'The Odyssey' In

Image
Christopher Nolan's upcoming interpretation of The Odyssey is shaping up to be one of—if not the —biggest movie events of the year. Demand for tickets put such a strain on AMC Theaters' network that the company had to put all customers in a queue just to access the site or app—even if they weren't trying to buy tickets. Despite being one of the oldest stories in the world, The Odyssey is attracting a ton of buzz. Chances are, if you're headed to a movie theater this summer, you'll be checking this one out. But while all movie theaters showing The Odyssey will show the same cut of the film, which theater you choose to watch it in makes a huge difference. Sure, you can see The Odyssey any number of times, and walk away having experienced the same story, with the same actors, speaking the same lines. But the experience will be very different. The Odyssey was shot on IMAX The Odyssey is the first major motion picture to be shot entirely with IMAX cameras. Many...

Meta Quietly Added Facial Recognition to Its Smart Glasses

Image
According to a report from Wired , Meta has been quietly installing facial recognition in its Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart glasses for the last few months. Internally called "NameTag", the feature, if activated, will use AI to identify people captured by Ray-Ban Meta's camera, alert the wearer when it recognizes someone, and store faceprints on users' phones. How Meta's "NameTag" works The software has not been switched on, but if it is, it will use Meta's AI app to transform images of anyone photographed with Meta glasses into a biometric faceprint, and check against a database of faceprints stored locally on the user's Meta AI mobile app. If it finds a match, the user will be notified. If it doesn't, the faceprint will be indexed into a folder named "pending." So everyone who the wearer encounters in public could become an unidentified target waiting for a name in a stranger's private databases. “The feature is not yet...
