Apple is set to unveil iOS 19 (codenamed Luck) at its annual WWDC conference in June, but users expecting groundbreaking changes may be disappointed. According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, the update will not introduce major innovations but will instead focus on refining and expanding the existing capabilities of Apple Intelligence.
AI Enhancements Without Breakthroughs
Gurman reports that Apple is unlikely to introduce revolutionary AI features at WWDC 2025. Instead, the company will emphasize integrating its current AI tools into more applications. This approach follows Apple’s ongoing struggle to keep Siri competitive with leading AI chatbots.
According to 9to5Mac, some of Apple’s earlier promises to enhance Siri with AI-powered capabilities in iOS 18 were never fulfilled. Additionally, Apple has faced technical challenges in implementing AI-driven improvements to its voice assistant, raising doubts about whether any significant Siri updates will be unveiled this year. Gurman previously reported that Apple had delayed plans for a more advanced, conversational Siri, pushing its release to 2026 with iOS 20. This suggests that while iOS 19 may improve Apple’s AI ecosystem, users hoping for a complete overhaul of Siri will have to wait.
VisionOS 3.0 and Future Updates
Alongside iOS 19, Apple is expected to introduce visionOS 3.0, the latest operating system for its Vision Pro mixed reality headset. While Gurman confirmed that the update will include numerous new features, he did not specify what they would be. Given Apple’s emphasis on refining existing technologies, the VisionOS update may bring improved performance and better app integrations rather than introducing entirely new capabilities, notes NIXSolutions.
Apple’s focus on enhancing current AI features rather than launching completely new ones suggests a measured approach to innovation. However, with WWDC still months away, more details may emerge about what to expect from iOS 19 and visionOS 3.0. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
