WWDC 2026: Everything announced on Siri, iOS 27, Apple Intelligence and more

Apple’s WWDC 2026 event kicked off this morning at 10 a.m. PT at Apple Park, starting a week full of expected announcements around Siri, iOS 27, Apple Intelligence and more, along with developer events and demos.

Claiming that its upcoming update will be “available to more users than any iOS release ever,” Apple revealed that all devices from the iPhone 11 onward will be eligible for their upcoming software update. And that update comes with a flurry of performance improvements it’s touting across a number of its OS releases this year, with Apple claiming that new photos will appear 70 percent more swiftly, AirDrop transfers will be 80 percent faster and CPU schedulers will be improved to help multitasking.
